Jitsi

App in the BluixApps catalog

What it is

Jitsi Meet is a self-hosted video conferencing platform — Zoom / Google Meet replacement with no account required, no time limits, no participant caps. WebRTC-based, runs in any modern browser, with mobile apps. The platform 8x8 acquired and continues to maintain open-source.

For privacy-bound video calls and conferences without trusting a SaaS provider, Jitsi is the canonical choice.

What it's for

  • Video conferencing — meetings, classes, webinars
  • No-account meetings — share a link, join — no signup
  • Education — virtual classrooms without Zoom subscriptions
  • Healthcare — HIPAA-deployable video consultations
  • Internal company meetings — replace Zoom / Google Meet

Who it's for

  • Privacy-conscious orgs rejecting Zoom for data handling
  • Educational institutions running virtual classrooms
  • Healthcare providers under HIPAA video consultation requirements
  • Cost-conscious teams moving off per-user Zoom plans
  • OSS communities running open meetings

Why teams pick Jitsi over alternatives

  • Apache 2.0 — fully open
  • No account required — share link, join
  • Self-host parity — no feature gating
  • Mobile apps — iOS + Android
  • End-to-end encryption — for small (2-person) rooms; SFU mode for larger
  • Strong governance — backed by 8x8 with continued OSS commitment

Integrations

  • Calendar — Google Calendar / Outlook plugins
  • Authentication — JWT-based room auth + Prosody plugins
  • Recording — Jibri for server-side meeting recording

  • Used by Atlassian, Mozilla, schools and govs worldwide
  • Backed by 8x8 with continued OSS investment

Tips & operations

  • TURN server is essential — most participants behind NAT need TURN to connect
  • Bandwidth-heavy — video conferencing needs significant uplink bandwidth
  • JWT auth recommended — without it, anyone with the URL can join
  • Recording = extra resources — Jibri runs full headless Chrome per recording
  • Mind scaling — single-server Jitsi handles ~50 concurrent; need JVB cluster beyond
  • Backup config — recordings should be archived; rest is stateless
