# Jitsi Meet - Secure, Simple and Scalable Video Conferences 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). The Jitsi Meet client runs in your browser, without installing anything else on your computer. You can try it out at https://meet.jit.si. Jitsi Meet allows very efficient collaboration. Users can stream their desktop or only some windows. It also supports shared document editing with Etherpad. ## Installation On the client side, no installation is necessary. You just point your browser to the URL of your deployment. This section is about installing a Jitsi Meet suite on your server and hosting your own conferencing service. Installing Jitsi Meet is a simple experience. For Debian-based system, following the [quick-install](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/quick-install.md) document, which uses the package system. You can also see a demonstration of the process in [this tutorial video](https://jitsi.org/tutorial). For other systems, or if you wish to install all components manually, see the [detailed manual installation instructions](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/manual-install.md). ## Download | Latest stable release | [![release](https://img.shields.io/badge/release-latest-green.svg)](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/releases/latest) | |---|---| You can download Debian/Ubuntu binaries: * [stable](https://download.jitsi.org/stable/) ([instructions](https://jitsi.org/downloads/ubuntu-debian-installations-instructions/)) * [testing](https://download.jitsi.org/testing/) ([instructions](https://jitsi.org/downloads/ubuntu-debian-installations-instructions-for-testing/)) * [nightly](https://download.jitsi.org/unstable/) ([instructions](https://jitsi.org/downloads/ubuntu-debian-installations-instructions-nightly/)) You can download source archives (produced by ```make source-package```): * [source builds](https://download.jitsi.org/jitsi-meet/src/) ### Mobile apps * [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jitsi.meet) [](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jitsi.meet) * [Android (F-Droid)](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.jitsi.meet/) [](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.jitsi.meet/) * [iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jitsi-meet/id1165103905) [](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jitsi-meet/id1165103905) You can also sign up for our open beta testing here: * [Android](https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.jitsi.meet) * [iOS](https://testflight.apple.com/join/isy6ja7S) ## Development For web development see [here](doc/development.md), and for mobile see [here](doc/mobile.md). ## 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 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!
