Referencing my buried comment with suggestions:

I don’t remember and can’t find a post I saw in the past recommending better video chat applications for more than two users. I believe one was Jitsi and another Wire. I just found another video conferencing application someone recommended online: MiroTalk. Different open source software excel in different areas.

Sorry, I just realized this post is about instant messaging platforms and not specifically their video chat features.

I like Element better because of its Markdown capabilities (though still very limited) and the ability to edit messages. I used element for my team coding projects in college, which worked very well and integrated nicely with our GitHub updates, but it sucked for video conferences. Signal barely holds up for two-user video chats, though that could be my internet or someone else’s.

I also want to self host my own XMPP server someday.

There is Revolt. Maybe younger people will like that more.
