I test drove Jitsi with a few different groups (including a not particularly technical frined group) with no more instruction than "Here's a link to a video meeting. If you're on mobile it'll prompt you to download the app. The password is 'foobah'", and it "just works" too.

> Enterprise orgs don't care about cost.

In my experience,thay also don't care too much about ease-of-use either. Purchasing deparments and managers are looking to someone who'll convince them that they won't personally take the blame when something goes wrong, which is why expensive proprietary services win over open source so often... "Sure everything's gone TITSUP[1], but it's Microsoft/SalesForce/Zoom fault. I've logged a ticket." is a magical career and face saving phrase...

You can disable forcing mobile users into an app, too.
