5 个流行的用于远程工作和在线会议的开源视频会议工具
视频会议
你会发现网上有一些视频会议工具。一些是为专业用户量身定制的，另一些是为了日常闲聊的。


然而面对着成百上千的选择，当选择视频会议应用或服务时，安全和隐私是往往是一个重要的点。在众多选择中，哪些是最好最安全的？


所有这些（或大多数）都宣称要提供最好的安全和隐私。但是，你要知道这可不能只看表面。


幸运的是在这里，我们专注于开源和隐私友好的解决方案，所以，让我们看看你可以使用的开源视频会议工具列表。


### 顶级开源视频会议解决方案

如果你是商企用户，大多数视频会议解决方案可以被安装在你自己的服务器上。


对于不是系统管理员的普通人来说，其中一些解决方案还提供了现成的、免费的、基于 Web 的视频会议服务。我将在列表中每个项目的描述中提及此信息。


**备注：** 列表中的排名不分先后。


#### 1、Jitsi Meet


![](/data/attachment/album/202007/26/105046krv9a91rvrrv8ngk.png)


Jitsi Meet 是一个令人印象深刻的开源视频会议服务。你可以在我们关于 [Jitsi Meet](https://itsfoss.com/jitsi-meet/) 的单独报道中轻松找到更多信息。


为了给你一个好的开始，Jitsi Meet 提供免费[官方公共实例](https://meet.jit.si/)来测试它，只要你需要，就可以免费使用它。


如果你需要将其托管在你的服务器上，同时根据你的需求定制一些选项，你可以从它的[官网](https://jitsi.org/jitsi-meet/)下载到你的服务器。


尽管他们在 Linux 上提供了一个基于 Electron 的应用，其实你不必下载一个应用到你的桌面上来设置它。你只需要一个浏览器就足够了。在移动端，安卓和 iOS 都有应用。

#### 2、Jami


![](/data/attachment/album/202007/26/105103qisjhfuvaiej3633.png)


Jami 是一个基于点对点的开源视频会议解决方案。很高兴看到分布式的服务，这意味着不依靠服务器，而只是点对点的连接。


当然了，分布式的服务有优点也有缺点。但是它是自由而开源的，那才是最重要的。


Jami 之前被称为 Ring messenger，但它改了名字，现在是一个 GNU 项目。


Jami 有 Linux、Windows、macOS、Android 和 iOS 的版本，所以它是一个完全跨平台的安全传送信息和视频会议的解决方案。你可以看看他们的 [GitLab 页面](https://git.jami.net/savoirfairelinux/ring-project)浏览更多信息。

#### 3、Nextcloud Talk


![](/data/attachment/album/202007/26/105121l8t5th9887zmmlra.png)


[Nextcloud](https://itsfoss.com/nextcloud/) 毫无疑问是开源远程办公工具的瑞士军刀。我们就在使用 Nextcloud。所以如果你已经配置了服务器，[Nextcloud Talk](https://nextcloud.com/talk/) 显然是一个优秀的视频会议和聊天工具。


当然了，如果你还没有自己的 Nextcloud 服务器，你需要一些技术知识来进行设置它，然后才能开始使用 Nextcloud Talk。

#### 4、[Riot.im](http://Riot.im)


![](/data/attachment/album/202007/26/105143irz0jvbhofnvvvfb.png)


[Riot.im](http://Riot.im)（不久会更名）已经是 Slack [最好的开源替代品](https://itsfoss.com/open-source-slack-alternative/)之一。


它能让你可以创建社区、发送信息，并在一个小组/社区中开始视频会议。你可以通过任何可用的公共 [Matrix 服务器](https://matrix.org/)来免费使用它。


如果你想要自己专用的去中心化的 Matrix 网络，你也可以在 [Modular.im](https://modular.im/) 上选择付费托管计划。

#### 5、BigBlueButton


![](/data/attachment/album/202007/26/105201j3s3948d94danbob.png)


BigBlueButton 是一个有趣的开源视频会议方案，专门为线上学习打造。


如果你是老师或者经营着一个学校，你也许会想试试。虽然你可以免费试用，但免费演示使用会有一定的限制。所以，最好将其托管到自己的服务器上，并且，如果你有其他的产品/服务的话，你也可以把它整合进其中。


它提供了一套很好的功能，能让你很轻松的教学生。你可以浏览它的 [GitHub 页面](https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton)以了解更多信息。

#### 补充：Wire


![](/data/attachment/album/202007/26/105240bg60ttxwxgve0dey.png)


Wire 是一个十分流行的开源的安全消息平台，为商企用户量身打造。它也提供视频电话或者网络会议选项。


如果你想要一个为你的企业或团队提供的商业开源方案，你可以试试 Wire，并在试用 30 天后决定是否升级它。


就个人而言，我喜欢它的用户体验，但它是要付费的。所以我建议你决定之前，先试试看并浏览它的 [GitHub 页面](https://github.com/wireapp)。

You will find several video conferencing tools available online. Some are tailored for professional use and some for daily casual conversations.

However, with hundreds of options to choose from, [security and privacy is often a concern when picking a video conferencing app or service](https://neat.no/resources/8-security-best-practices-for-private-video-conferencing/). Among the list of options, what’s usually the best and the most secure service?

Well, all (or most of them) claim to provide the best possible security and privacy. But you know that this cannot be taken at face value.

Fortunately, at It’s FOSS, we focus on open-source solutions and privacy-friendly options. So, let’s take a look at a list of open-source video conferencing tools that you can utilize.

## Top Open Source Video Conferencing Solutions

![Open Source Video Conferencing Tools](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/07/open-source-video-conferencing-tools.jpg)

Most of the video conferencing software can be installed on your own servers if you are a small business or enterprise.

For normal, non-sysadmins, some of these solutions also provide ready-to-use, free, web-based video conferencing service. I’ll mention this information in the description of each item on the list.

**Note:** The list is in no particular order of ranking.

### 1. Jitsi Meet

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

Jitsi Meet is an impressive open-source video conferencing service. You can easily find out more about it in our separate coverage on [Jitsi Meet](https://itsfoss.com/jitsi-meet/).

To give you a head start, it offers you free [official public instance](https://meet.jit.si/?ref=itsfoss.com) to test it and use it for free as long as you need it. That makes it one of the best video conferencing apps that can be counted as an alternative to Google Meet.

If you need to [host Jitsi Meet on your server](https://linuxhandbook.com/self-host-jitsi-meet/?ref=itsfoss.com) while customizing some options for your requirements, you can download it from its [official website](https://jitsi.org/jitsi-meet/?ref=itsfoss.com) for your server.

Even though they offer an electron-based app on Linux, you don’t need to download an app on your desktop to set it up. All you need is a browser and you’re good to host a group video call. For mobile, you will find apps for both Android and iOS.

### 2. Jami

![Jami Screenshot](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/07/jami-screenshot.png)

Jami is a peer-to-peer based open-source video conferencing solution. It’s good to see a distributed service that does not rely on servers but peer-to-peer connections.

Of course, a distributed service has its pros and cons. But, it’s free and open-source, that’s what matters.

Jami was previously known as [Ring messenger](https://itsfoss.com/ring-messenger/) but it changed its name and is now a GNU project.

Jami is available for Linux, Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, So, it’s a pure cross-platform solution for secure messaging and video conferencing. You can take a look at their [GitLab page](https://git.jami.net/savoirfairelinux/ring-project?ref=itsfoss.com) to explore more about it.

### 3. Nextcloud Talk

![Nextcloud Talk](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/07/nextcloud-talk.png)

[Nextcloud](https://itsfoss.com/nextcloud/) is undoubtedly the open-source Swiss army of remote working tools. We at It’s FOSS utilize Nextcloud. So, if you already have your server set up, [Nextcloud Talk](https://nextcloud.com/talk/?ref=itsfoss.com) can prove to be an excellent video conferencing and communication tool. From screen sharing to messages, it comes with all the features you expect in a video conferencing software.

Of course, if you don’t have your own Nextcloud instance, you will require some technical expertise to set it up and start using Nextcloud Talk.

### 4. Element

![Element Desktop](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/07/element-desktop.png)

Previously known as Riot.im was [rebranded to Element](https://itsfoss.com/riot-to-element/). While Element is already one of the [best open source alternatives to slack](https://itsfoss.com/open-source-slack-alternative/), it gives you the ability to create communities, send text messages, and start video conferences in a group/community. You can use it for free by using any of the public [Matrix servers](https://matrix.org/?ref=itsfoss.com) available.

If you want your own dedicated decentralized Matrix network, you can also opt for paid hosting plans on [Element Matrix Service](https://ems.element.io/?ref=itsfoss.com).

### 5. BigBlueButton

![Big Blue Button](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/07/big-blue-button.png)

BigBlueButton is an interesting open-source video conferencing option tailored for online learning.

If you are a teacher or running a school, you might want to try this out. Even though you can try it for free, there will be limitations for the free demo usage. So, it’s best to host it on your own server and you can also integrate it with your other products/services, if any.

It offers a good set of features that let you easily teach the students. You can explore its [GitHub page](https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton?ref=itsfoss.com) to know more about it.

### Additional mention: Wire

![Wire Video Conferencing](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/07/wire-video-conferencing.png)

Wire is a quite popular open-source secure messaging platform tailored for business and enterprise users. It also offers video calls or web conferencing options. And, all of that is completely end-to-end encrypted.

If you wanted a premium open-source option dedicated for your business or your team, you can try Wire and decide to upgrade it after the 30-day trial expires.

Personally, I love the user experience, but it comes at a cost. So, I’d recommend you to give it a try and explore its [GitHub page](https://github.com/wireapp?ref=itsfoss.com) before you decide
