Just to add: Teams does a lot more than video calls and chat, it is basically the most cross-integrated M365 app. These alternatives better have really good calendar integrations because for most users that is a basic requirement.
However, MiroTalk in addition to being open-source, has many features that are not just video calls and chats, below I list all the repos where you can see, more or less, the features it offers:
There are features like Alexa, in the SFU version, where you can interact with the app vocally, giving it commands such as: open the chat, send messages, send files, and so on...
Obviously MiroTalk can be improved and can grow further, I'm just giving a chance to not depend on Zoom, Teams, Google Meet ... and have something of your own, that you can customizable, To run in the cloud, in your local PC (exposing on HTTPS with ngrok: docs/ngrok.md) or in your own dedicated server (following the documentation: docs/self-hosting.md)
Thanks for taking the time to respond. I took a quick look at what you linked. These are indeed great features and for me as an individual they would be more than enough.
But most people that use zoom or teams do it for work or school so that means integration with outlook, gmai/gmail-calendar and such. The reason is, people need to be able to send out meeting invites natively in the tool but also work with whatever calendar solution people are using to schedule meetings.being able to limit access and record calls (and share recordings) are vital. I couldn't tell if these things are supported already but having those features in my opinion will help the product get adoption.
Also, personally, I liked being able to chat someone and in the same context share a screen and if I want upgrade that to a full videocall in Teams. Element via Matrix can already do that and is opensource.
I wish you success with this product, I prefer solutions like this myself than be at thr mercy of zoom and MS.

In addition, being a PWA (progressive web app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8MjdQGyjfA&ab_channel=Women...) it doesn't need a native app, it lives in any browser and works in any mobile or desktop devices :)

Thank to you for your time and valuable feedback!
I will sure keep them in mind, currently to manage rooms, setting dates and times for meetings, send invitation mails,
I created MiroTalk WEB: https://webrtc.mirotalk.com (NB: You need a valid email to confirm before to Login),
but nothing forbids, that in the future, I can create something that interacts with external calendars and so on... :)
Thanks again and I wish you too all the best!
Thank you.
