I wish I could say it is easier or better than Zoom or Kopano, but I haven't not found it so.
JITSI ORG MEET INSTALL
The only good thing I can say was the base install went fine, using a OpenVZ VPS with 2.5 GB ram. the iPhone 6 couldn't maintain a connection and the app crashed every time, so somehow only newer mobiles seem to work. 3) the pixel, iPad (2018) and Mac connected fine. reading led me to think it was "easy" but I did not find it so. Switching this to a authentication approach is long and convulated and requires installing Proxody and some other apps and making another virtual host using yet another subdomain. ANYONE who finds the url can start their own chat. 2) The install (self-installed using ) leaves you with a Jitsi server that is wide open to the internet.
JITSI ORG MEET FULL
The user has to enter the full url of the chat not just the room name. I tried on an iPhone 6, an iPad, a Pixel phone, and Chrome on my Mac and every one needed to download the Jitsi app to connect. A few things: 1) The other users STILL need to download the Jitsi app to connect. The instructions for this are located at Įdit: if someone is interested in sponsoring the work needed to implement and test guest mode in the app you can reach me at I'll do my best to make the individual contributions as transparent as possible (or anonymous of the contributor prefers Hi, I just went through the install process for Jitsi Meet, thinking it would be different/better than Zoom or Kopano. Like I said guest access is just a matter of configuration, the app just has not been setup to do this automatically. For calling and screensharing native browser apis are used which means no need to install further software either.

The installed app automatically refreshes if the code on the server is updated.
JITSI ORG MEET ANDROID
Kopano Meet on the other hand is designed as a PWA, which means even though its a webpage it will offer itself to be installed as an app on devices supporting this (which is iOS, Chrome and Firefox on Android and Chrome, Firefox and Edge on the desktop). One of the main differences for the end user is that with Jitsi you need to install additional apps on your phone and on your desktop you need additional extensions for screensharing.

Kopano Meet has a newer more modern architecture (its also substantially younger than Jitsi, which as a company has been acquired and sold on a few times already). Yes, the general purpose is similar and in the end both require the additional setup of a turn service (Kopano customers can request access to a hosted turn service, which is included in the subscription).

What are the differences between Kopano and seems to me the tech is similar, but one you need to install an account to use which is not as good (Kopano) We have been flooded with requests over the past week, even doing some priorities development on a sfu (like the videobridge of jitsi) for some said in Jitsi Meet: I think what with the lockdown and all, having a solution like Kopano and just a link for others to join, would be wonderful.
