    It's mostly a group chat app (like slack or mattermost) with a video call feature, not a dedicated video conferencing app ; and setting up a meeting is too much hassle (you have to get everyone to sign up for an account and tell you their handles and invite them to a persistent group chat) compared to just sharing a link in jitsi. It's good for teams doing calls frequently, not for a one-shot meeting with guests outside your organization.
