I think this was posted 3 times in this community already, from different sources
... and on many of them I complain again that they made a whole new project instead of just using and contributing to Jitsi , which the FSF created expressly to counter Zoom/Teams :/
Actually, there's also an official Jitsi server (called Webconf). And there's another Big Blue Button one. I think Visio has features not available in Jitsi though, like AI-produced transcript of the call.
It is actually not hard to extend the software. I, for example, set up automatic uploading of cal recordings to a Peertube instance.
It's not a new project, it's just skinned Element. Jitsi does not have the features of Element.
Tchap is the Element-based server. Visio is a different thing. Although you can trigger Visio from Tchap (like you can do it with Jitsi from Element).
