Privacy-focused messaging app Signal is adding new features for video calls, including links, reactions and a calls tab, in a bid to pose as an alternative to Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams.
Jitsi is a open-source video platform you can self-host.
I don’t trust anything going through another company’s servers. Zoom had to backpedal when it was found feeding content to AI… Imagine talking about your company business secrets and now some dickwad are Zoom reads the transcripts and steals it.

Until you can manage a “group of people” (your company), and give them permissions to “rooms” (chats/channels) by group, Signal can’t compete.
Administrators aren’t going to one-off everything, or rely on users to do it when there is no admin visibility.
Getting admin tools right with an encrypted service is key here.

TBF, the level of privacy afforded at work will never be usable in most companies.
At scale, it’s a security nightmare. PII, HIPAA, PCI, If OPSEC can’t at the very least go back and see what happened in private channels, it’s going to be a hard sell.

Yea I’ve done work in Privacy focused companies, and they love this stuff, but everyone else who isn’t a journalist… Probably not.
You mention HIPPA, and the interesting one with that (to me) is offices don’t track conversation already, so it probably wouldnt impact situations like that, but Signal chat most certainly would. Can’t report a violation if you can’t see it.
