I am a huge fan/proponent of FLOSS where possible.
That being said, for enterprise solutions with large teams, I have yet to see a FLOSS solution that is as intuitive or ubiquitous as the major players.
For instance, I fucking hate zoom. Basically everything about it. But I also can’t possibly suggest other platforms for remote recording participants because I deal with people across the computer literacy spectrum. They all understand zoom, regardless of generation or experience with a computer. When they don’t understand it, it’s easy to guide them. I hate it but it’s reality and it’s a major cost when you abandon popular platforms.
It is a tall ask when folks want me to be the trendsetter who makes

I think it’s totally possible but your company has to be committed day 1 and the floor for technical literacy has to be very high. It also heavily depends on if you dealing with clients, what their needs/tech literacy is, what you’re providing, etc.
