As long as you keep it fair, as in not many users, not too many streams etc, https://fairmeeting.net/ offers videocalling for free. I think it is using Jitsi.
They also offer paid versions that you can use should you require more than a few users.
Indeed Jitsi.
And Jitsi is European?
Originally from France. Current owner is 8x8, American company, but the software itself is open source. So yes and no, maybe?
But since the software is open source you can just take it and host it yourself, so no American company involved anymore.
Sure. But the American company is currently managing development, have their own money on the table to improve the code and so on. Depends on how pedantic you want to go on this.
Even Torvalds himself, while originating from Finland, is currently a USA citizen and Linux foundation is paying his salary. With FOSS the borders are a bit different than in the real world and if you want to really be strict about it, fully European operating system just does not exist, at least not viable and well supported one.
Personally I'll keep using whatever free software there is, regardless of the country of origin.
Yeah, for me the main point is not to help US companies make money, either by paying them directly or by giving them my data which they can can sell. With open source software that's covered most of the time, especially when self-hosted.
