Privacy is an important aspect.

Authentication can be another important one, if you want to integrate with your existing SSO or other auth mechanism.

Last, customization. While this can be done via JaaS too (our CPaaS offering) you will always have full control over your deployment if you self-host it.

Aren’t Zoom and Google meet end to end encrypted? Google might still track IPs finds out who talks to whom, but that’s doable via any interaction.

You can enable it on Zoom, AFAIK it's not default. Google Meet doesn't provide E2EE.

You're still running Zoom's or Google's code, which could do whatever it wants behind your back.
