Jitsi

Jitsi is an open-source web app and server for hosting video conferences that can be accessed directly through a web browser or via dedicated mobile applications. Users can utilize the hosted service at meet.jit.si or deploy the software on their own infrastructure to maintain control over their communication data.

Deployment options include Debian packages and a comprehensive Docker setup to facilitate installation on private servers. For developers and organizations, the platform provides web and native SDKs to integrate video communication capabilities into existing third party applications. The system is designed to be scalable and supports various authentication methods, including Google, Facebook, and GitHub accounts, to manage meeting access.
