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.
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.
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
