Problems it solves

“We need free video meetings and Zoom cuts us off after 40 minutes”“Our volunteers will not create accounts to join a call”“I want video calls that do not go through a big tech company”“We need a video link for a quick community meeting”“Can we host our own video meeting server for privacy”

About Jitsi Meet+

Jitsi Meet is free, open-source video conferencing that runs in a web browser or in mobile apps, with no account needed to join. Anyone can use the public service at meet.jit.si, host their own server, or pay 8x8 to run it as Jitsi as a Service. It suits groups that want simple, private video calls without a subscription.

Pricing: Jitsi describes itself as completely free and open source. The hosted public service is free. 8x8 sells a paid hosted version called Jitsi as a Service (JaaS); its prices were not checked. Participant limits and recording options on the public service were not stated on the page fetched.
