You can even stick with Jitsi. The WebRTC solution you can use without any account is here:
https://meet.jit.si/
There are many other WebRTC websites available. Another quite reliable one is Talky: https://talky.io/
Benefit with Jitsi and Appear is that they offer an Android app which makes it dead easy to connect even via phone.
Other interesting projects in my books:
* Wire
- now supports also Linux, even if it seems to be via electron, i.e. being a web wrapper
- It really looks good. I also like that you have the choice to sign up with email OR phone number
https://wire.com/
* Ring
- I have been watching for quite some time and they made quite some progress
- not as mature as Wire
- but more Linux supportive/ even centric. It's meanwhile a GNU project.
- great philosophy behind it
- can integrate an existing SIP account

Recent reply from them about the email error.

I wonder if it may be no error, but they have realized the number of Linux users, and made a turn around. Thoughts on this ?

I'm keeping an eye on this developing situation, and will react with the best interests of the community in mind.
