Jitsi Meet

Open source · OSI-approvedStatus: unknown

Video meetings with no account and no install

Jitsi Meet gets to a working video call faster than anything else: open a URL, share it, done. No accounts, no downloads, no meeting identifiers to read out.

For organisations that need control, the whole stack including the media server is self-hostable, which turns a convenience tool into something a privacy policy can describe honestly.

Decisive facts

End to end encryption for smaller calls
Screen sharing, recording, and live streaming
Self-hostable media server for full data control
Embeddable into other applications through an API

LicenseApache-2.0

Home Assistant runs on a box in your house and talks to devices directly rather than through their manufacturers' servers. That single design decision is why automations keep working when the internet is down, and why a discontinued cloud service does not brick your lights.
