Fuze supports 12 HD video conference streams and up to 250 participants with clear HD voice. Share high resolution interactive content with powerful co-annotation controls; Jitsi: Multi-platform open-source video conferencing. Jitsi is a set of open-source projects that allows you to easily build and deploy secure videoconferencing solutions. At the heart of Jitsi are Jitsi Videobridge and Jitsi Meet, which let you have conferences on the internet, while other projects in the community enable other features such as audio, dial-in, recording, and simulcasting.
Fuze and Jitsi can be primarily classified as "Web and Video Conferencing" tools.
Some of the features offered by Fuze are:

For weeks I have been researching to find an open source video conferencing platform that allows integration from native clients. I am working on a solution that would need to communicate from a native app via a windows dll (at least initially). Ultimately, I want any OS to talk to it natively. A lot of platforms provide the JavaScript interface (like Jitsi) but wrapping this in a windows dll is both complicated and has a huge footprint. What open source video conference servers are available that have native windows clients that can be packaged in a DLL?
Hi Mark! I work for a company called Whereby where we allow developers to easily embed video meetings on their app or website using a simple API. If you're interesting in hearing more you can contact me on maddy.trusewich@whereby.com

I don't recommended to use WebRTC for group meeting because when you have a lot of participants of a meeting so in this case, it will happen hung in the connection because the stream pass over http, also webRTC support maximum 256 participants of a group meeting. webRTC is good for calling peer to peer. you can use zoom program and then integrate it with your project via api or embedded system
I don't have recommendation yet but I have a question to understand further - what stops you writing your own code using webrtc? Peerjs could help speed up the development. My experience writing webrtc client was that it is super easy to get started with and build something useful out of it. But to make it fault tolerant(addressing challenges such as firewall, NAT traversal, etc.), there is a significant effort you need to make - signalling server, ICE/TURN/STUN servers, etc.
