Meeting minutes come at a high cost to our organization since we're using enterprise-quality video provided by Twilio. Many companies choose to use open-source, self-hosted alternatives to reduce costs. We've used similar solutions in the past and we're not pleased with the quality of the video (neither were our customers!). Those solutions sometimes work well up to 3 or 4 participants but start to really drop-off in quality at around 5 or 6+. Twilio Group Rooms support up to 50 active participants. We have many groups running 12 and 15 person masterminds and are happy with the quality of the video. In addition, we have users all over the globe, and without Twilio's infrastructure, it would be very difficult to provide a consistent quality of service.
