# 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 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.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:** If you are looking for Jitsi as a Service (JaaS) please start [here](https://jaas.8x8.vc).
|
|
|
|
## 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://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/devops-guide/devops-guide-quickstart) 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://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/devops-guide/devops-guide-manual).

## 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).

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!
