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.
I personally haven’t used it yet but I believe you can do all this with Matrix (choose your client - probably Element).
Matrix currently just uses jitsi for group video calls. Native functionality is in development.
It’s in beta, but it’s already quite usable. You can try it without account on a public instance e.g. at call.element.io
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.
