Nextcloud Talk is so good

It is good for privacy but also has the nifty feature of not sucking and being reliable. It is so much better that Teams and my audio works reliability.

Do you self host or are you running a nextcloud-managed instance?
- I self host
  
  You just happen to be lucky. It's not super reliable in less than ideal situations, but I expect it to improve.
  
  Jitsi has also been pivoting to a similar setup. They are masters at SIP and voice handling, and it's still iffy at best.
How does it compare to Jitsi?
- Works better but non public
  
  What do you mean non public? One can also hosts Jitsi Meet.
Good to know!
I found it marginal. Jitsi is nice but I didn't attempt self hosting, which looks like effort. Currently playing with Jami.
- How do you like Jami so far ?
  
  It seems ok in the small testing I've done, but I haven't really used it. Also I think the video encoder is too slow for my old phone. It works ok on the new one. Others here probably have more info than I do.
- Avoid Jami
  
  Ok, I'll bite again.
  
  Can you tell us why one should avoid this particular p2p softphone?
I love Nextcloud Talk, but my biggest annoyance with it is that text chats don't properly scroll to the bottom when new messages come in.
Does it work in Windows/Chrome? I have tried to make a call with a frend but it would not show Video/audio in his side. It has worked from Firefox to Androidapp for me in the past
