Jitsi Meet

Jitsi Meet is a set of Open Source projects which empower users to use and deploy video conferencing platforms with state-of-the-art video quality and features.

Amongst others here are the main features Jitsi Meet offers:

And many more!

Using Jitsi Meet

Using Jitsi Meet is straightforward, as it's browser based. Head over to meet.jit.si and give it a try. It's scalable and free to use. All you need is a Google, Facebook or GitHub account in order to start a meeting. All browsers are supported!

Using mobile? No problem, you can either use your mobile web browser or our fully-featured mobile apps:

Android Android (F-Droid) iOS

If you are feeling adventurous and want to get an early scoop of the features as they are being developed you can also sign up for our open beta testing here:

Running your own instance

If you'd like to run your own Jitsi Meet installation head over to the handbook to get started.

We provide Debian packages and a comprehensive Docker setup to make deployments as simple as possible. Advanced users also have the possibility of building all the components from source.

You can check the latest releases here.

Jitsi as a Service

If you like the branding capabilities of running your own instance but you'd like to avoid dealing with the complexity of monitoring, scaling and updates, JaaS might be for you.

8x8 Jitsi as a Service (JaaS) is an enterprise-ready video meeting platform that allows developers, organizations and businesses to easily build and deploy video solutions. With Jitsi as a Service we now give you all the power of Jitsi running on our global platform so you can focus on building secure and branded video experiences.

What is this?Jitsi Meet is a set of open-source projects for secure, simple and scalable video conferencing — use it as a standalone service or embed it in your own web application.
Is it a website, an app, or something I host myself?All three shapes exist: a browser-based service at meet.jit.si, mobile apps for Android and iOS, and web and native SDKs to embed meetings in your own product.
How do I start a meeting?Open meet.jit.si in any current browser — it is free and needs no install. To start a meeting you sign in with a Google, Facebook or GitHub account.
Can I embed Jitsi calls into my own app or website?Yes — Jitsi Meet offers web and native SDKs for integration, and 8x8's Jitsi as a Service (JaaS) is a fully managed alternative if you do not want to run servers.
Does it work on my phone?Yes: besides the mobile browser there are fully-featured apps for Android (also on F-Droid) and iOS, plus open beta programs if you want early features.
Can I run my own server instead of using meet.jit.si?Yes. The handbook covers self-hosting with Debian packages and a comprehensive Docker setup, and advanced users can build all components from source.
Are calls encrypted?Jitsi documents its security model in detail, including an End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) implementation.
What can participants do in a call?Out of the box you get HD audio and video, content sharing, raise hand and reactions, chat with private conversations, polls and virtual backgrounds — and the README hints at many more features.
What is Jitsi as a Service (JaaS)?JaaS is 8x8's enterprise-ready, fully managed Jitsi platform: developers and businesses build branded video experiences while 8x8 handles monitoring, scaling and updates on its global infrastructure.
Is meet.jit.si really free to use?Yes — the hosted service is free and scalable, and the projects themselves are open source under the Apache-2.0 license, so self-hosting costs nothing but server time. JaaS is the commercial option.
What technology is it built on?The clients are web technology: this repository is the TypeScript web client, the mobile apps are React Native, and the platform is WebRTC-based with an SFU architecture — deployable via Debian packages or Docker.
What are similar projects?livekit, Rocket.Chat, chat, zulip, mattermost, boardgame.io, srs, etherpad
Which topics is it in?e2ee, video-conferencing, debian, webrtc, chat, react-native, real-time, video, sdk, ios, android, react
