Jitsi
A website for the open-source Jitsi video conferencing ecosystem, including Jitsi Meet, self-hosted meetings, WebRTC projects, apps, docs, and community resources.
What Jitsi is
Jitsi official site describes Jitsi as free, open-source video conferencing software for web and mobile. The public site introduces Jitsi Meet, links to documentation and downloads, highlights self-hosting, and points developers toward projects that can be integrated into other applications.
Who uses Jitsi
Jitsi is used by educators, nonprofits, open-source communities, privacy-conscious groups, developers, companies, and public organizations that need browser-based meetings or video features they can run on their own infrastructure. Some users join meetings through meet.jit.si, while others deploy Jitsi Meet for their own domain or product.
How the website works
The website acts as a front door to several parts of the ecosystem: the hosted meeting service, Jitsi Meet downloads, project documentation, community channels, blog posts, and commercial Jitsi as a Service information. It is written for both meeting users and technical teams evaluating deployment or integration.
Jitsi Meet
Jitsi Meet is the best-known Jitsi application. It runs video meetings in the browser and on mobile apps, supports common meeting features, and can be used as a standalone meeting service or embedded into another web application. Its open-source model lets organizations inspect, modify, and host the software themselves.
Self-hosting and embedding
A key reason teams choose Jitsi is deployment control. A team can run its own server, integrate meetings into a product, adjust authentication and branding, or connect Jitsi to other communication systems. That flexibility is useful, but it also means the operator must plan capacity, security, updates, monitoring, and user support.
Privacy and security posture
Jitsi is often discussed as an alternative to closed meeting platforms because it is open source and can be self-hosted. That does not automatically make every meeting private in the same way; privacy depends on the deployment, configuration, participant behavior, server operator, and whether a meeting uses hosted or self-managed infrastructure.
Strengths and limits
Jitsi is strong when a group values open-source software, browser access, customization, and independent deployment. Its limits show up when an organization needs turnkey administration, guaranteed support, large-scale event management, or tightly integrated enterprise controls without doing much infrastructure work.
Why it matters
Video meetings became everyday infrastructure for classrooms, work, health, events, and community life. Jitsi matters because it gives developers and organizations an open-source route for real-time video instead of making every meeting workflow depend on a closed service.
