We have been using Jitsi to conduct meetings and virtual classes for our students. Overall, we are very satisfied with the user experience. I am constantly delighted to see new features being added to the platform (e.g. virtual backgrounds), and the team even upgraded their user interface.

Jitsi is free and open source and that is the biggest Pro that I can think of. However, this does not mean that it has a subpar feature set. We have been using it consistently for conducting virtual meetings across the University since the early days of the pandemic and here are a few pros that I can highlight: - It is very user friendly, even non-techies can figure it out without much training - Jitsi integrates well with Moodle (our LMS of choice) and this allows Faculty to host virtual classrooms right from their course page - The DropBox integration allows users to record their meetings and share the recordings easily with others

Although it is difficult to fault an outstanding project like Jitsi, there are a few areas that still need to be polished up: - At certain times users join a meeting using the supplied link only to find that they are alone (although others using the same link are in the meeting room). This is usually fixed by leaving and rejoining the meeting - Jitsi often struggles with poor connectivity and this matters in not-so-well-developed settings like where some of our students stay

The experience with Jitsi is overall fantastic. Like I mentioned, it's a little difficult to set it up the first time if you are installing it in your server. But, anyway, there's a docker-compose version (with a very good documentation on their github repository) that takes care of almost everything you need in order to get the software working.

As a user, the best part about Jitsi is that it doesn't need for people you invite to a conference to register anywhere. You only need to provide them the link to click and Voila! they're in the conference! The audio and video quality is awesome! It also has a feature that makes peer to peer conference in case there are only two people in the conference. It automagically switches to conference mode the moment a third participant joins the conference.

A con about Jitsi is that, if you're setting it up in your server, there aren't very detailed guides on how to set up each one of the components that it needs to work (although they aren't part of jitsi itself, but would be desirable to have a guide for installing and setting up each component). Also, if you download and want to modify the source, there isn't a very detailed step-by-step that tells you how to do it for each one of the components (there is the mobile app and the web application).

Jitsi has helped to improve team work , bridging the gap of distance.

Jitsi is quite easy to use, has a friendly user interface and other cool features that it comes with without having to install a download a bunch of plugins.

I observed that when using on an android phone, it can't minimize once it is set to display over all other apps, which is really bugging. And again i don't know if it is just me, but there are no administrative powers like anyone can shut anyone out during a live session.

Jitsi is an easy to use, free and good working software for video conferences, that offers a good amount of features and is constantly developed.

I like, that Jitsi is open-source and under constant development. The interface has been renewed some time ago and it now looks good on desktop Pcs as well as on mobile devices. The video quality is also good. You can now also use polls to have realtime votes. Jitsi offers a lot of features and is also able to run big conferences now. What I like as well is, that anyone can use it for free and easily invite other participants by just sending a link.

Jitsi has some trouble working on older computers. This is why the system that is used should be pretty new. Also breakout-rooms are not integrated yet. The developers say, that it will be implemented soon.

In general, Jitsi is a great option to have virtual meetings or webinars and avoiding having to install or having to do all the hassle from most of the rest of the tools which do the same.

I really like the fact that this tool is really easy to use, you just need to access the website, chose what you need, and as easy as that you can create a room to have a virtual meeting with co-workers, prospects, or even with your family. This is a great tool when chosing from other options, and specially because time is important for me and my clients.

I don't like the fact that I need to write a name for the room meeting, I think is a good idea but it can be created automatically, and not having to write something that might sound weird to the participants at the meeting.

Apart from the fact that it manages data consumption better, there is literally nothing to like

The UI is bland and unattractive. The call quality is terrible, the app lags and the screen sharing feature is unreliable.

I would definitely recommend it as a more private alternative to Zoom for teams.

I use Jitsi for daily call conferencing with 6-12 participants. Jitsi makes it easy for all users to share video. It shows active call quality for each participant based on their connection. Active chat feature is very useful for sharing links to projects. Active speaker's boxes are highlighted with a blue border. Anyone not sharing video is shown by their initials or first letter of their first name. Very accessible and user friendly.

Sometimes, Jitsi does have outages, slow connectivity, or turns everyone's videos black which can be annoying. Overall though, it is a great product and a private alternative to Zoom or other similar products.

Overall, I find Jitsi to be a great software for video conferencing and webinars. It is reliable and secure, and offers an easy to use interface that makes it accessible to everyone. It has a wide range of features and is highly scalable, allowing for large numbers of participants. While it can be slow to load and a bit tricky to configure, it is still an excellent choice for video conferencing and webinars.

I like that Jitsi is an open source software that provides a reliable, secure and easy to use platform for video conferencing. It has a great user interface that is easy to learn and navigate, and it offers a wide range of features including audio and video conferencing, file sharing, whiteboarding, and even webinar capabilities. The software is also highly scalable and can accommodate a large number of participants.

I dislike that the software can be a bit slow to load and can be difficult to configure if you don't have experience with it. Additionally, I find it a bit hard to troubleshoot any issues that come up.

For one-on-one calls or small groups, jitsi is our go-to meeting room, especially in lockdown-times.

The ability to quickly create a meeting room, wich a customized name and an easily accessible URL makes it perfect for everyday use.

Stability and bandwidth issues, even on a self hosted server, seems to cause some issues with heavy usage unfortunately.

Easy to install to use on voip or video calls. Works fine on Linux

Sometimes it doesn't open concurrently with voip and we miss calls.

Achei muito prático de usar, costuma dar poucos erros, o aplicativo não é pesado para carregar. Fácil de encontrar as funções de compartilhamento . Gostei muito de utilizar para reuniões e webconferências. Equivalente a outras plataformas com a mesma função.

Prático de usar, funcionalidade de compartilhamento prático de entender. Costuma dar poucos bugs de compartilhamento, acesso e compatibilidade com navegadores web. É gratuito e seguro quanto a privacidade de dados.

Não há necessidade de aparecer mensagem de incompatibilidade de navegação (recomendação de Chrome) pois funciona bem com Firefox e Edge.

Awesome for free.

Ease of deployment and invitations to a meeting is unsurpassed. No downloads required, meeting IDs or Passcodes to enter. No time limits and absolutely free!

Screen sharing capability could be much easier. Would love to be able to select an area, rather than just a particular window.

Jitsi wird bei uns zur Kommunikation innerhalb der Abteilung benutzt. Tägliche Standups. Dafür ist es super einfach zu handhaben

Große Meetings oder gar Videochats mit vielen Teilnehmern überfordern das System

C'est une solution libre, qui permet de faire quasiment tout ce qui est nécessaire : présentation, partage d'écran, visio, appel audio, chat.

Nombreux bugs, avec des utilisateurs qu'on n'entend pas, qui ne nous voient pas, des partages d'écran qui plantent, des options qui manquerait, comme pouvoir mettre en silencieux quelqu'un d'autres.

Estoy usando jitsi en el trabajo desde hace un par de años debido a la pandemia y me parece fantástico sobre todo para reuniones informales, es una gran manera de permanecer en contacto y hacer reuniones rápidas.

Lo que mas me gusta es que te permite estar conectado con compañeros, familia, amigos, etc. y te brinda la posibilidad de hacerlo tanto desde el navegador como desde la aplicación. Es muy sencillo de usar para quien no ha tenido ningún tipo de acercamiento a este tipo de aplicaciones y es bastante fácil descubrir las herramientas integradas en el programa, lo recomiendo bastante para seguir en contacto.

Lo que menos me gusta es que con frecuencia se silencia el micrófono por errores en la aplicación, fuera de eso no hay nada que me disguste y es una alternativa fantástica para seguir en contacto.

Jitsi is the free, secure, open-source version of video meetings that WON’T steal your information!

Jitsi has a lot of the features that you would expect for virtual meeting - chat, raise hand, video capability, screen share.

As far as I can tell, you can not necessarily set up a future meeting, as in the meeting only begins when someone starts it. I’m not sure this is really a con though, just different from other platforms!

It is a good option to include users quickly, since you do not need to register, just the link of the room to enter.

This tool is an excellent option for making audio and video calls. Just create a room and post the link for anyone to join the meeting. No registration is required, which makes access even simpler. You can share the screen and write in the message area.

I used the web version (browser) and found the audio and video quality great. The only negative point is that the messaging area (chat) has few resources. There is no option to share files.

Perfect for hosting big online meetings once in a while without having to pay big amounts of money.

It's free and it's awesome! It falls from time to time and you cannot depend exclusively on it if it's a super-important meeting, but for big gatherings in some situations it's perfect: completely free, reliable and easy to use.

You have no control on other people when hosting a room, neither on your own room once you leave it. Anyone can write your company name and create an open room and that's something I wouldn't like to happen. We just use it in some occasions.

Transition between people during the meeting are really nice. Also quality of meetings and, obviously price.

Recording is really flaky. It needs external solution (jibri) and it's failing quite often. Deployment is a nightmare and you need skilled IT team to have it running reliably.

Used as part of participating in Focusmate - reliable and straightforward video conferencing.

Fairly intuitive and easy to use, and so far reliable

Once or twice I had problems changing audio settings, though not clear if that was the software.

This platform has made it really easy for us to hold virtual meetings and Bible studies during the COVID crisis when we've been unable to meet in person.

This platform is used by Faithlife as the basis for their video chat function. It is easy to use and we have not experienced some of the same kinds of problems we have had with Zoom.

We did have some issues with audio quality early on that were mostly fixed by having people use headphones.

I would recommend it to all of those who want to use alternatives to google hangouts, Skype, or Teams.

Very intuitive, I like that it has some features specific for conference meeting software. It meets its purpose.

I’ve had some connectivity issues while using the software, it might be related to my other programs running in the back like Adobe which are very heavy and might interfere. But I haven’t made any probing on this.

My overall experience with jitsi has been good so far. One can definetely go with it.

It is very easy to use and the call quality is great.

Adding extensions before making a call become tedious some time. It would be great if Jitsi will work without prefix extensions.

Overall I am happy with Jitsi as a helpful tool for quick video conferencing with a client or meeting with a group.

Jitsi is a great open source platform for video conferencing. It has been a helpful tool for connecting with clients or team members. It is also very easy to add additional people to the call.

I don’t like the number of bugs I have run into at times. I have had to restart or find workaround solutions after having audio or scheduling issues on the platform.
