Thanks a lot for your software and platform ! (that I have been extensively using since 2 years !). In particular I love the fact that you only need to use an URL to join.

One suggestion though : the chat function is really limited (e.g. no way to resize the area. No convenient way to chat with only selected people within the meeting, no rich text...). Actually there were even some times when I have been using Jitsi with some people only for the chat functionality without audio/video (since it is one of the rare platforms that enable to join with just an URL without creating an account) yet I wish that the chat was a bit more sophisticated ;)

For large meetings, it would also be nice to see the hand raised in a list (so that people then take the floor in-order).



Thanks for the kind words!

The chat is quite limited indeed. Our primary use case is audio / video media, and we see chat as more of a "supporting" channel, to share links, etc.

Never say never though, given enough time, we could make it better :-)


Agreed that this should be a secondary consideration. A more advanced chat would be nice but not at the expense of video/audio. My main use for it (and would assume most users) is posting links like you mentioned.
