It's a bit difficult to understand what exactly that means.

There's Jitsi Meet, Jitsi Desktop, there's a browser extension, a server-which-isn't-just-a-server etc. It's a bit confusing.

I think you’re overstating the complexity a bit. When people mention Zoom I don’t fuss over whether it’s desktop, web (do they even offer it?), mobile, or whatever.

> do they even offer it?

Just to answer this—technically yes, but they use dark patterns to dissuade people from learning about it.

Why is it difficult? Is there not enough context given the conversation is specifically focused on video conference software.

One could say the same of Zoom...

There's Zoom Meetings Client, Zoom Rooms, a desktop app, mobile app, Outlook Plug-in, Browser extension, etc.

I think @hanniabu is referring to Jitsi Meet in this case...
