What other platforms compete with Zoom with comparable API integrations?

We need features including: OAuth, Meeting scheduling, meeting link generation (without requiring user accounts), managing recordings, meeting status webhooks, etc.

https://meet.google.com/ Google Meet(recording is with the enterprise version) integrates with google calendar

Microsoft Teams might have you covered, including potentially your API needs. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/choose-online-meeting...


Jitsi- use it, love it, host my own instance. Only downside is the api’s are a bit cumbersome using prosody.

Prosody dev here, feedback welcome :)

You can email us any time at developers@prosody.im and community venues are listed here: https://prosody.im/discuss


Impressed by your attentiveness. I’m sure prosody is a fantastic product, I don’t mean to drag it through the mud.

What I should expound on is that in the Jitsi server configuration that out of the box they don’t have good documentation for getting room size, participants, total number of rooms etc. I did find the Jitsi community forums where the Jitsi devs tell community members how to enable some prosody plugins. There was an issue for my vanilla configuration where I needed to update Lua and download 5 other lua rocks. Then the mod-muc-size plug-in needs to be modified and the nginx configuration needs to be updated as well. This is my rough memory from a month ago.

So it would be nice if Jitsi had a more out of the box solution for this integration, and I understand prosody is just a piece in the whole production.



I am not sure about some of the requirements, but we’ve had a lot of success with Uberconference. Google Meet is also decent if your are I the Google Workspace ecosystem.


We just need a performant alternative.

I pay for Zoom and if anyone can point me to a native app alternative that actually works reasonably well (Teams does not) I will happily switch.

Everything that runs in the browser is pretty awful.
