Seems to work fine for 8x8, who maintain Jitsi.

8x8 is valued at about 1/10 of what zoom is worth, and has seen a declining valuation over the last 1 year.

most of 8x8 revenue comes from sources and products unrelated to jitsi.

so, i don't think you can say that it seems to work fine for them compared to zoom.

Are the numbers different for you? 8x8 appears to have a market cap of $1.55B vs Zoom’s $67B. 40x difference.

Jitsi is a fraction of what they do and something they didn’t even own that long ago. The company is tiny, 42x less valued than Zoom and doesn’t appear profitable. It isn’t growing in the right direction at the moment. If anything, it is a reason for why Zoom shouldn’t do what Jitsi or 8x8 are doing.
