What is it?

Jitsi Meet is a set of open-source projects for running video conferences with HD audio and video. It works in all current browsers and has mobile apps for Android and iOS, so participants can join from a web link without installing anything. Core meeting features include content sharing, raise hand and reactions, private chat, polls, and virtual backgrounds.

For teams that want control over their data or branding, the project can be deployed yourself using Debian packages or a Docker setup, and its components can be built from source. Web and native SDKs let developers embed meetings inside their own applications. A hosted option, Jitsi as a Service from 8x8, is also available for those who prefer not to operate the infrastructure.

The project documents end-to-end encryption (E2EE) and publishes a security overview, and its handbook covers deployment and releases.
