Hey everyone,<p>Peter, Nick, and Joseph here with <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;guestboard.co" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;guestboard.co</a>, and we&#x27;re back with some significant improvements, a snazzy iOS app, as well as our own pivot&#x2F;response to the growing need for virtual event solutions.<p>The problem that Guestboard continues to solve is that there are MANY event types that are too complex for a simple digital invite like Paperless Post, and too small for pricey event software.<p>Facebook Events used to claim this title, but the average Joe&#x2F;Jane needs a flexible and intuitive tool that can scale with their needs, and can manage groups of 10 - 1000 people, whether it&#x27;s personal or professional events.<p>But with COVID, we were presented with a new hurdle. In-person events being out the window for a while, we didn&#x27;t want to lose sight of our original mission. But we also needed to meet the changing landscape.<p>Among other updates, we just released our Video Chat widget– one of 10 optional (and free) event tools you can activate in your event board.<p>The Video Chat widget is nothing groundbreaking, to be honest. Just stable, encrypted videocalls powered by Jitsi Meet&#x27;s open source platform. But with this, we were able to build one important distinguishing feature..<p>With Video Chat, you can schedule multiple AND concurrent video calls, with slick invitations that are sent directly to your existing guest list within Guestboard.<p>When paired with other widgets like Schedule, Checklist, Message Board and Shared Resources, you&#x27;re able to build an event board that is perfectly tailored to the needs of your group, foster a little community around your event, and streamline your communication all in one place.<p>As always, we&#x27;re here for some real feedback and critique, so if you&#x27;re the type of person who typically wrangles large groups of people, how can we solve your pain points even further?<p>Happy Friday!

Homepage looks absolutely beautiful, but I suspect it would convert better if you had more visual emphasis on getting people to click on your call to action (which presumably is hosting an event).

The product looks great. Congrats with 2.0.<p>However, I used Jitsi Meet on a daily basis for a year. I was a frequent person to a Jitsi Meet room recently as well.<p>It was and is pretty bad relative to others. There’s almost always an issue once you get to double digits. Even in smaller numbers, it is buggier far more than Whereby or Zoom.<p>Its cpu and Bandwidth usage is too high too compared to better video options.<p>I avoid Jitsi as much as possible.
