What to know
Why it stands out
- Jitsi Meet can be self-hosted and joined through a browser without requiring every participant to create an account.
- The conferencing components are open source and support encrypted transport, with optional end-to-end encryption in supported configurations.
Trade-offs
- A public Jitsi instance and a private self-hosted instance can have materially different logging, authentication, recording, retention, and administrator-access practices.
- Optional end-to-end encryption covers supported audio, video, and screen sharing, but not chat, polls, recordings, livestreams, dial-in, or every client.
- On meet.jit.si, room creators must authenticate, while participants can join without creating an account.
Best for
Teams wanting account-light video meetings with an open-source and self-hostable stack.
Consider another option when
Meetings requiring one uniform audited zero-knowledge guarantee across recordings, dial-in, livestreaming, and all clients.
