About

Jitsi, named from the Bulgarian word for 'wires', is a collection of free and open-source multiplatform applications for voice (VoIP), video conferencing, and instant messaging. The project supports various platforms including Web, Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and Android. Originating as Jitsi Desktop (formerly SIP Communicator), the project evolved with the growth of WebRTC, shifting its focus to Jitsi Videobridge for web-based multi-party video calling. Its comprehensive product portfolio now includes Jitsi Meet, a full video conferencing application with clients for web, Android, iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS, alongside a free community-hosted version at meet.jit.si. Other projects under the Jitsi umbrella include Jigasi, lib-jitsi-meet, Jidesha, and Jitsi. Operating in the Voice over IP, instant messaging, and videoconferencing sectors, Jitsi is distinguished by its commitment to free and open-source technology.
