What is the difference between Brave Talk and Jitsi Meet

[Saoiray]

@dirkbj I’m not too familiar with Jitsi Meet but I can share some info below. Info below is a quote (to which I provide the link to the Reddit where it came from) and to Brave’s official announcement about Brave Talk. Beyond that, I’m going to tag @SaltyBanana and see if he might be able to provide more information about the differences between the two.

@Jimmy Secretan (VP of Services & Operations)

these are all great questions, and I appreciate that you care enough about Brave to take the time to ask them. You are absolutely right that meet.jit.si is providing for free several of the premium features we mention. From speaking to our friends at 8x8, that site is a development site, where they are able to try out experimental/potentially unstable features before they go into 8x8’s own paid version of Jitsi. Of course, because it is a development site, it is properly instrumented with telemetry to give them appropriate feedback on how everything is performing.

Brave Talk, by contrast, is run as a full production service. And we have stripped out all of the normal telemetry/instrumentation. We don’t deploy new features on Brave Talk until they are fully vetted and stabilized on meet.jit.si. So, we hope that our users find that compelling as a service they can rely on. But if you are more interested in helping work out the kinks in a development version of Jitsi on meet.jit.si, we certainly encourage that, as we all benefit.

And quick note on the out of date https://github.com/brave/jitsi-meet repo. This was an old fork we did, and most of the new work we do with 8x8 on Jitsi ends up on their core repo.
