# 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.

||||
|
||||
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).

|
||||
|
||||
## 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/).

## 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).
