Apart from having to write a custom script to automatically upload recordings to Peertube, pretty good! Some people have issues connecting from their work network because apparently our domain is not on some allow list for calls. But everything works out of the box, quality is nice, Rocket Chat has an integration. The only thing I am missing is scheduling calls where the host is one predefined user, and everyone has to wait until they connect, and moderator being the first to connect. It is stable, streaming works, UI is partially crude and some features do not work out of the box when not configured separately. But hey, it is free and no big corpo is snooping around!
