Their WebRTC site at https://meet.jit.si/ works incredibly well. It's the best I've seen, anonymous, with tons of videoconference functionalities and nice bandwidth tracking tools.

And being WebRTC, it needs no plugins on popular desktop webbrowsers. Sadly, mobile ones do not support WebRTC. But their app is open, and works very well.

Any experience using it on Wayland Linux? I guess there it wouldn't be so easy to grab other windows content without display manager support (which AFAIK does not yet exist and if is specific for the implementation Gnome, KDE, Enlightment, ...)

AFAIK (and I can be totally wrong here) screen grabbing is part of the Wayland protocol, but most (all?) compositors restrict which processes are allowed to use that API. For Sway (which is what I use), I've seen a separate config file for this. So it might be worth taking a look at the documentation for your compositor.
