Jitsi Meet

Backed by nearly 30,000 GitHub stars and powering millions of meetings through meet.jit.si, Jitsi Meet is the open-source video conferencing platform that runs entirely in the browser with no plugins or downloads required. The WebRTC-based architecture delivers HD audio and video through the Jitsi Videobridge selective forwarding unit, while Prosody handles XMPP signaling and Jicofo manages conference focus and orechestration. End-to-end encryption uses AES-GCM 128-bit keys exchanged via the Olm protocol, protecting audio, video, and screen sharing through the Insertable Streams API in Chromium-based browsers. Moderators can split participants into breakout rooms with individual password protection, enable lobby waiting rooms for admission control, set meeting passwords, and track speaker statistics with per-participant talk time metrics. Virtual backgrounds leverage TensorFlow.js body segmentation with WebGPU and WebGL acceleration, automatically adapting quality through device tier detection. Server-side recording and YouTube live streaming run through Jibri, while Jigasi provides a SIP gateway for PSTN dial-in and speech-to-text transcription. The platform includes in-meeting chat with private conversations, polls, raise-hand functionality, emoji reactions, and tile and speaker view layouts. Mobile applications for iOS and Android complement the web client, and both web and native SDKs enable embedding video conferences into custom applications. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache-2.0 licensed.

Benefits

  • Zero-Download Browser Video
  • Participants join meetings directly in any modern browser via WebRTC with no plugins, downloads, or account creation required for instant collaboration.
  • End-to-End Encrypted Meetings
  • AES-GCM 128-bit encryption via the Insertable Streams API protects audio, video, and screen sharing with keys exchanged through the Olm cryptographic protocol.
  • Complete Self-Hosted Control
  • Deploy on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose or Debian packages, retaining full control over meeting data, recordings, and user privacy compliance.
  • Extensible Component Architecture
  • Modular components including Jitsi Videobridge for media routing, Jibri for recording and streaming, and Jigasi for SIP gateway scale each layer independently.

Features

  • Breakout Rooms
  • Moderators split meetings into smaller groups with individual password protection, participant assignment, and one-click return to the main conference room.
  • Virtual Backgrounds
  • TensorFlow.js body segmentation with WebGPU and WebGL acceleration provides real-time background blur and replacement with automatic device tier optimization.
  • Recording and Streaming
  • Jibri captures server-side recordings and enables YouTube live streaming, while local recording provides client-side alternatives without server components.
  • SIP Gateway
  • Jigasi connects traditional phone systems via SIP and SRTP for PSTN dial-in access and provides speech-to-text transcription services.
  • Meeting Security Controls
  • Lobby waiting rooms, meeting passwords, moderator admission control, and speaker statistics provide comprehensive governance for sensitive conferences.
