Jitsi

Jitsi Meet is an open-source video conferencing platform. No account or installation is required to join a meeting.

Configuration

Key settings in config.yaml:

domain - Where Jitsi will be accessible
jvbStunServers - STUN servers for WebRTC NAT traversal (defaults to Google's public STUN servers)

Usage

Just visit the app URL and enter a meeting room name (or click the microphone icon to start one). Share the URL with participants — they can join from any modern browser without installing anything.

Notes

Jitsi uses WebRTC for peer-to-peer video — audio/video quality depends on participants' network conditions
By default, anyone can create and join meetings — authentication can be enabled via the Jitsi admin settings if you need to restrict access
The internal component secrets (jicofoAuthPassword, jvbAuthPassword, jicofoComponentSecret) are auto-generated and used for communication between Jitsi's internal services (Jicofo, JVB, Prosody) — do not change them after deployment
For large meetings (10+ participants), consider tuning the JVB (Video Bridge) resource limits
