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).
never heard of jitsi, but looks pretty legit from what you shared!
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.
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.
