Perhaps the problem was nothing more than a conflict with another
package in the Debian distribution.  Besides, that was three years
ago.  And Jitsi has a Debian package which I have installed on Debian
9; it is running properly.

It appears to me that Jitsi has something for everyone.  With nothing
more than a headset and a camera (camera optional) you can conference
via WebRTC on Jitsi.  Are you concerned about bandwith?  Log in
and give it a try; it is free.  Or you can install Jitsi and run your own
server.  And Jitsi is open source.  What more could you ask?

Jitsi is easy.  Do you have reason to say that the current release of
Jitsi is not "solid"?  And is Zoom worthy of consideration?
