Hi,

I’m looking for a E2EE and decentralized (or self hosted) videoconferencing that would have the following feature

  • video or voice-only call
  • share screen
  • files transfer (optional)
  • text chat

( all of it E2EE )

I’m considering Jitsi meet, that seem the meet those requirements

Do you know better alternatives or do you have remarks about Jitsi ?

Thanks.

    We used Jitsi quite a bit during Covid, I was very happy with it, and I don’t remember any complaints from other people.

    I personally haven’t used it yet but I believe you can do all this with Matrix (choose your client - probably Element).

        Why did I think that changed with 2.0? Another commenter identified this. Element has native call now.

          The experimental Element X client implements it only for mobile, and on desktop you must use the separate Element-call client.

          Everything else still uses jitsi.

          Like I said, it’s in development. Yes, you can jump some hoops to use it, but jitsi in element (and other matrix clients) is sticking around for a while yet.

    If I remember correctly, Jitsi is not E2EE by default. You need to set it up manually.

    Jami on the other hand, is E2EE by default and decentralized (if I’m not mistaken).

    It’s already been mentioned, but I’ll throw in for Jitsi. I believe it can also be self-hosted.

    Jitsi, Nextcloud Talk and Signal are all very good options (if you don’t need screenshare with desktop sound (e.g. a watching a tutorial video with sound), I haven’t found a FOSS solution that can do that - though tbh it’s been a while since I tried it with something other than Signal)

    Adding onto what’s already on the thread, you can try look at the newer Element Call, which is an implementation of Matrix’s native calls.
    I’ve been using it a bit recently, since Jitsi seems to have stopped working reliably for me (to be frank, I’ve not put much effort into debugging it yet). It works well, but it’s still early stage, lacking some features Jitsi has. If that one works for you, I recommend you stick to it.

    It’s tangential, but Mumble is still good for voice only chat. Rarely do we find video to be useful or necessary with a lot of collaborative tools showing multiple cursors per users & programs like Upterm that allow sharing a terminal session.
