I had a choice when I took my meetings online in early 2020, Jitsi Meet (jitsi.org, FOSS) or Z (proprietary, and $$). I choose incorrectly. Right up until they put a part in their TOS, last September, saying they would use our video for training AI. I switched my meetings over to JItsi. Go FOSS, and don’t go back.
Indeed, that coworker ended up getting a different job around the end of the year. I’m 50/50 on “good for him” and “too bad” – he sounded excited about the other gig, but he was cool. I miss working with him.

Out of curiosity, what prompted you to pick something that costs money over something free?
Jitsi didn’t seem far enough along in it’s development, at that time. It was a mistake.
Ha, I remember a coworker doing something with Jitsi back in 2020. He described it as ‘being stuck in Jitsi-jail’!
TBF it’s quite functional now. Maybe your coworker wished they were somewhere else. :-(
