# Jitsi Meet - Secure, Simple and Scalable Video Conferences
# <p align="center">Jitsi Meet</p>
Jitsi Meet is an open-source (Apache) WebRTC JavaScript application that uses [Jitsi Videobridge](https://jitsi.org/videobridge) to provide high quality, [secure](https://jitsi.org/security) and scalable video conferences. Jitsi Meet in action can be seen at [here at the session #482 of the VoIP Users Conference](http://youtu.be/7vFUVClsNh0).
Jitsi Meet is a set of Open Source projects which empower users to use and deploy
video conferencing platforms with state-of-the-art video quality and features.
The Jitsi Meet client runs in your browser, without installing anything on your computer. You can try it out at https://meet.jit.si.
<hr />
Jitsi Meet allows for very efficient collaboration. Users can stream their desktop or only some windows. It also supports shared document editing with Etherpad.

## Release notes
## Running your own instance
Release notes for Jitsi Meet are maintained on [this repository](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-release-notes).
If you'd like to run your own Jitsi Meet installation head over to the [handbook](https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/devops-guide/devops-guide-start) to get started.
## Development
We provide Debian packages and a comprehensive Docker setup to make deployments as simple as possible.
Advanced users also have the possibility of building all the components from source.
For web development see [here](https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/dev-guide/dev-guide-web), and for mobile see [here](https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/dev-guide/dev-guide-mobile).
You can check the latest releases [[here](https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/releases).
## Jitsi as a Service
If you like the branding capabilities of running your own instance but you'd like
to avoid dealing with the complexity of monitoring, scaling and updates, JaaS might be
for you.
[8x8 Jitsi as a Service (JaaS)](https://jaas.8x8.vc) is an enterprise-ready video meeting platform that allows developers, organizations and businesses to easily build and deploy video solutions. With Jitsi as a Service we now give you all the power of Jitsi running on our global platform so you can focus on building secure and branded video experiences.
## Documentation
All the Jitsi Meet documentation is available in [the handbook](https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/).
## Security
For a comprehensive description of all Jitsi Meet's security aspects, please check [this link](https://jitsi.org/security).
For a detailed description of Jitsi Meet's End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) implementation,
please check [this link](https://jitsi.org/e2ee-whitepaper/).

## Contributing
If you are looking to contribute to Jitsi Meet, first of all, thank you! Please
see our [guidelines for contributing](CONTRIBUTING.md).
## Embedding in external applications
<br />
<br />
Jitsi Meet provides a very flexible way of embedding in external applications by using the [Jitsi Meet API](doc/api.md).
## Security
The security section here was starting to feel a bit too succinct for the complexity of the topic, so we created a post that covers the topic much more broadly here: https://jitsi.org/security
The section on end-to-end encryption in that document is likely going to be one of the key points of interest: https://jitsi.org/security/#e2ee
## Security issues
For information on reporting security vulnerabilities in Jitsi Meet, see [SECURITY.md](./SECURITY.md).
## Acknowledgements
Jitsi Meet started out as a sample conferencing application using Jitsi Videobridge. It was originally developed by ESTOS' developer Philipp Hancke who then contributed it to the community where development continues with joint forces!
