Jitsi Meet

Jitsi Meet is a video conferencing application for running secure, real-time meetings in the browser and via mobile apps. It’s part of the Jitsi ecosystem and is commonly deployed with Jitsi Videobridge for scalable SFU-based conferencing.

Key Features

• Browser-based meetings (no dedicated desktop client required)
• WebRTC audio/video conferencing with SFU architecture via Jitsi Videobridge
• Screen sharing, in-meeting chat, and meeting links/room URLs
• Moderator controls (mute/kick participants, manage permissions)
• Lobby / waiting room and password-protected rooms (deployment-dependent)
• Recording and live streaming integrations (commonly via Jibri)
• Optional end-to-end encryption mode (deployment/client support dependent)
• Calendar and directory integrations and configurable UI/branding (deployment-dependent)

Use Cases

• Internal team meetings for organizations that need control over deployment and data path
• Online classes, community calls, and webinars with moderated rooms
• Embedded video meetings inside existing web apps via the Jitsi Meet External API

Limitations and Considerations

• Horizontal scalability and features like recording/streaming typically require additional components (e.g., Videobridge scaling, Jibri) and careful capacity planning.

Jitsi Meet provides a flexible, widely deployed conferencing stack with strong WebRTC foundations and an extensible architecture. It is well-suited for organizations needing a customizable meeting experience and integration options while keeping operational control.
