Jitsi Meet：自由开源的视频会议解决方案，无需设置即可免费使用
视频会议

> Jitsi Meet 是一个开源视频会议服务，你可以免费使用它来组织在线课程、会议和聚会。你也可以在自己的服务器上托管 Jitsi。


在 COVID-19 大流行期间，远程工作趋势显著增长。无论你是否喜欢，视频会议对于个人和企业都是一个很好的解决方案。


在过去的几个月中，非常流行的视频会议服务之一就是 Zoom。但是，[关于 Zoom 视频通话](https://www.tomsguide.com/news/zoom-security-privacy-woes)存在很多安全和隐私问题。


因此，选择一个安全且易于使用的视频会议应用来完成工作是很重要的。我敢肯定有很多选择，但是在这里，让我们看一下开源选项 [Jitsi Meet](https://meet.jit.si/)。


### Jitsi Meet：免费使用的开源视频会议服务


![](/data/attachment/album/202008/03/204505jqf2ffaq4o4qo22b.png)


Jitsi Meet 是开源语音、视频会议和即时消息服务 [Jitsi](https://jitsi.org/) 集合的一部分。


通过 Jitsi Meet，你可以即刻主持群组视频通话（即视频会议），你甚至都不需要建立帐户。


对于桌面端，它是基于浏览器的，但它以 AppImage 的形式为 Linux 提供了一个基于 Electron 的桌面应用。它也可以用在 Windows 和 macOS 上。


对于智能手机，它提供了 iOS 和 Android 应用，你可以分别从 App Store 和 Play Store 进行安装。除了这些，你还可以在开源 Android 应用商店 [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.jitsi.meet/) 中找到它。


如果你想更进一步，你可以在你的服务器上部署 Jitsi Meet。对于那些不想使用第三方服务器的企业来说，这是理想的选择，即使该服务器来自软件开发商。


### Jitsi Meet 的功能

Jitsi Meet 简单但功能丰富。这是你将获得的功能：


* 不需要用户注册
* 使用 Etherpad 共同编辑文档
* 能够自己部署
* 支持集成 Slack 和 Rocket.chat
* 如果需要，提供密码保护
* 端到端加密（beta 版）
* 背景模糊（beta 版）
* 录音选项
* 直播流支持
* YouTube 视频分享
* 查看用户的网络状态
* 集成 Google 和 Microsoft 日历
* 聊天功能
* 屏幕共享
* 支持国际连接拨入
* 你可以稍后继续视频通话，而无需会议代码
* 低带宽模式选项
* Jitsi 可选的桌面版本

出于显而易见的原因，你在移动应用上只能找到较少的功能。


请注意，[端到端加密仍处于 beta 阶段](https://jitsi.org/blog/e2ee/)。但是，即使没有它，Jitsi Meet 也应该是一个隐私友好且安全的视频会议解决方案。


在移动设备上，我只希望它有屏幕共享功能。除此之外，其他所有功能都很好。


### 如何使用 Jitsi Meet？


![](/data/attachment/album/202008/03/204551cmc3scf82f8zum4l.png)


要使它在 Linux 上运行，你不需要做任何其他事情。你只需要前往它的[官方 Jitsi Meet 实例](https://meet.jit.si/)，然后输入会议名称即可创建或加入。


如果您使用的是基于 Electron的应用程序，则完全一样。 使用桌面应用程序时的外观如下：


![](/data/attachment/album/202008/03/204645kpej0ni2h02vb4it.png)


如你在上面的截图中所见，你还可以找到你最近使用的会议室的列表，这样就不必再次输入或创建会议室。


![](/data/attachment/album/202008/03/204718y39wkl5t3kl3kmk4.png)


如果你要创建它，那么最好使用唯一的名称，并且如果你不需要其他任何人意外加入，那么还应为其添加密码保护。

如果你要参加其他人的会议，只需询问会议名称或会议链接即可使用台式机或智能手机轻松加入。


除了少一些功能，它与桌面端的工作方式相同。我已经使用了一段时间，并且还鼓励和培训了我父亲的单位（我们的附近学校）使用 Jitsi Meet 主持在线课程。


即使有最多 75 名参与者的限制，它的表现也很好，而且工作良好。

### 总结


如果你希望托管自己的 Jitsi 实例，建议你遵循它的[官方自托管指南](https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/devops-guide/devops-guide-quickstart)来启动并运行它。你还可以在[它的 GitHub 页面中找到实例列表](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/wiki/Jitsi-Meet-Instances)。


Jitsi Meet 是个了不起的开源视频会议应用。它是 Zoom 和其他此类视频通话服务的一种隐私保护替代方案。


我还建议查看 [NextCloud，它是 MS Office 365 的开源替代方案](https://itsfoss.com/nextcloud/)。

**Brief: Jitsi Meet is an open-source video conferencing service that you can use for free to organize online classes, conferences and meet ups. You can also host Jitsi on your own server**.

The remote work trend grew significantly amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. No matter whether you like it or not, video conferencing is proving to be a great solution for both individuals and businesses.

One of the video conferencing services that got insanely popular in last few months is Zoom. You can [install Zoom on Ubuntu](https://itsfoss.com/zoom-ubuntu/) and other Linux. However, there are plenty of security and privacy concerns [about Zoom video calls](https://www.tomsguide.com/news/zoom-security-privacy-woes).

So, it’s important to choose a secure and easy-to-use video conferencing app that gets the work done. I’m sure there are numerous alternatives, but here — let’s take a look at an open-source option [Jitsi Meet](https://meet.jit.si/).

## Jitsi Meet: Free to Use, Open-Source Video Conferencing Service

![Jitsi Meet Screenshot](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/06/jitsi-meet-screenshot.png)

Jitsi Meet is a part of [Jitsi](https://jitsi.org/), which is a collection of open-source voice, video conferencing, and instant messaging services.

The Jitsi Meet allows you to host group video calls, i.e. video conferencing in seconds. You don’t even need an account with them.

For desktop, it is mostly browser-based but it does offer an [electron-based desktop app](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron) in the form of [AppImage](https://itsfoss.com/use-appimage-linux/) file for Linux. It’s also available for Windows and macOS.

And, for smartphones, it does offer both iOS and Android apps that you can install from the App Store and the Play Store respectively. In addition to these, you can also find it on the open source Android app store [F-Droid](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.jitsi.meet/).

If you want to go the extra mile, you can deploy Jitsi Meet on your server. This is ideal for businesses who don’t want to use a third-party server even if it is from the developers of the software.

## Features of Jitsi Meet

![Jitsi Meet Smartphones](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/06/jitsi-meet-smartphones.jpg)

Jitsi Meet is simple and yet feature-rich. Here’s the set of features that you’ll get:

- Does not need user registration
- Edit documents together using Etherpad
- Gives you the ability to self-host
- Supports Slack and Rocket.chat integration
- Offers password protection if needed
- End-to-End encryption (beta)
- Background blur (beta)
- Recording option
- Live stream support
- YouTube video sharing
- View the network status of users
- Google and Microsoft Calendar Integration
- Chat feature
- Screen sharing
- Supports International dial-in connection to join
- The session exists for you to continue the video call later without needing the meeting code.
- Low-bandwidth mode option

![Jitsi Options Desktop](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/06/jitsi-options-desktop.png)

For obvious reasons, you will find fewer options on the mobile app.

Do note that [end-to-end encryption is still in beta](https://jitsi.org/blog/e2ee/). But, even without it, Jitsi Meet should be a privacy-friendly and secure video conferencing solution.

On mobile, I just wish if it had the screen sharing option — except that, everything else works just fine.

## How To Use Jitsi Meet?

![Jitsi Meet Use](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/06/jitsi-meet-use.resized.png)

There’s nothing extra that you need to do in order to make it work on Linux. You just need to head over to their [official Jitsi Meet instance](https://meet.jit.si/) and then type in the name of the meeting to create or join.

If you’re using the electron-based app, it’s all the same. Here’s how it looks when using the desktop app:

![Jitsi Meet Electron](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/06/jitsi-meet-electron.png)

As you can see in the screenshot above, you can also find a list of your recent meeting rooms so that you don’t have to type or create the meeting room again.

![Jitsi Meet Browser Screenshot](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/06/jitsi-meet-browser-screenshot.png)

If you’re creating it, it’s best to go with a unique name and also add a password protection to it if you do not need anyone else to join in accidentally.

![Jitsi Meet Password](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/06/jitsi-meet-password.png)

If you’re joining someone else’s meeting, simply ask for the meeting name or the link of the meeting to be able to easily join using your desktop or smartphone.

It works the same way on desktop minus some options. I’ve been using it for a while and I’ve also encouraged and trained my dad’s employer (our neighborhood school) to use Jitsi Meet to host online classes.

Even though it has a limit of up to 75 participants, it holds up pretty well and works perfectly fine.

**Wrapping Up**

If you’re looking to host your own Jitsi instance, I suggest you to follow their [official self-hosting guide](https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/devops-guide/devops-guide-quickstart) to get it up and running. We also have [Jitsi deployment guide with Docker](https://linuxhandbook.com/self-host-jitsi-meet/). You can also find a [list of instances on their GitHub page](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/wiki/Jitsi-Meet-Instances).

Jitsi Meet is an amazing open-source video conferencing application. It’s a privacy-friendly alternative to Zoom and other video calling services of that kind.

I also suggest looking at [NextCloud, an open source alternative to MS Office 365](https://itsfoss.com/nextcloud/).
