About Jitsi

Jitsi Meet is an open-source video conferencing solution that helps businesses of all sizes create virtual rooms to conduct meetings remotely. Presenters can mute participants, send private messages, remove specific individuals and record sessions.

Jitsi Meet's screen sharing functionality allows team members to share external applications with coworkers, facilitating quick collaboration. Administrators can set up password-protected virtual rooms and lock rooms to restrict late attendees from joining sessions. The telephony module enables team members to invite participants and join meetings via audio phone calls. Additionally, the picture-in-picture (PIP) mode lets team members use multiple applications simultaneously.

Jitsi Meet comes with an application programming interface (API), which allows businesses to integrate the system with multiple third-party applications. It provides Android and iOS mobile applications, which allow users to join video conferences remotely. It is available for free and support is extended via documentation and email.

My Views on Jitsi: An Open-Source Video Conferencing Software

It is very useful for quick meetings as we don't need to download or launch a dedicated software, which often hangs the system. It allows us to record meetings with the in-built recorder. Therefore, we don't need to download third-party software to record meetings. Its UI is very easy to use and friendly, so none of our clients hesitate to join our monthly meetings.

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Jitsi is the best open-source and free video conferencing tool. Where every tool in the market charges a lot just to provide some basic features, it comes with all of the advanced features yet at no cost. We don't need to create an account either; we just need to give a name to our meeting and it'll generate a link for us to share it with the other participants to join. The audio and video output are in high definition quality. Meetings can be embedded almost everywhere or can be integrated with any other software. The UI is neat, and there is a big community backing it if anything unpleasant occurs. This ultimate free tool comes with a bundle of advanced features: live screen presentation, live public and private chat, security option, noise suppression, audio-video sharing, live streaming, etc.

Cons:

There are a few drawbacks, which I realized. There is a limit of 100 participants. It won't help if an organization needs to have more than 100 people at a conference. As it doesn't require an account to begin with a meeting, sometimes random people join a meeting if one forgets to set a meeting password. Sometimes voices begin to break for all of the participants if End-to-End Encryption is turned on.

Reasons for switching to Jitsi

It was quite costly to use Zoom for one-on-one calls or meetings that take place on a daily basis. Since it is free to use, it doesn't increase our operational costs.

Pros:

Cons:

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.

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Reasons for choosing Jitsi

Because it's easy to use, free and available for everyone. Also nobody needs to install software for using it.

High-quality conferencing tool - Jitsi

I really enjoy Jitsi meet, because it is available for free with HD quality Audio, Video, Screen Sharing and chat. For development purposes, it facilitates API to integrate Jitsi with your own product.

Functionality

Pros:

While conferencing with colleges, if the meeting moderator left from the meeting, it automatically assigns anyone to a moderator. It will not end the meeting if the moderator left from the meeting. Another impressive feature is that you can record entire conference or meeting sessions. Along with screen sharing, private chat while conferencing and live chat, it provides high-quality audio and video streaming.

Cons:

Of all the features, only they do not support remote access control for the web version, but that is not a major problem. I understand that providing remote access control for the web is not feasible when considering security.

Reasons for choosing Jitsi

In my case, I use the Jitsi for taking sessions for trainees and knowledge sharing sessions for our team. It suits best for me because for instance meeting creation and provides desktop and web versions to allocate or available live high-quality audio and video streaming.

The best open source for online conference

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.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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).

Reasons for choosing Jitsi

The main reason was the interface. Although Openmeetings has better guides to install and has already lots of features, the interface for a first time user is confusing because there's a lot of floating panels on the interface. Those are great, but not for a first encounter. Second important reason is that openmeetings requires each user to create an account. There's no way natively to provide a url for the conference to somebody else and let them join the conference.

Pros:

The only solution on the market that is : - Freely and independently auditable for highest security standards (open source) - Server can be installed on premises if cloud does not offer enough privacy - Perfecly works on Linux/Mac/Win/Android/IOS - Do no require you to register/login or send you personal data before using the service. (Does not track you) Interesting features: - Can focus clients on the users that speaks (voice detection on microphone). - Since it can be installed on premises, it's possible to have very low latency. Additionally, it's totally free and open source. Best value in 2020.

Cons:

- Some problems with Firefox when presenter, but works with Chrome. FF ok if just client. - Not possible to resize webcam incrustation when sharing screen. (Just on or off).

Reasons for choosing Jitsi

- Better security - Option to run it internally for better privacy and lower latency. - Independantly auditable usually provides much better security, both client & server. (Open Source)

Reasons for switching to Jitsi

Better privacy & security for me and my contacts, and for a lower cost.

Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Reasons for switching to Jitsi

Because I needed a user friendly option to have virtual meetings with my prospects, with Jitsy I dont need to do a lot to have a great experience and this allows me to save time and be in contact with my clients.
