Post Covid-19 beginning in India, IT companies have started to give work from home as the new norm and video conference systems are playing a vital role in this time. In search of a developed in-house video conference system, we come across Jitsi as an open-source designed and developed video conference and live event platform. Now, we have an in-house and secure communication platform that allows us to host conferences from within and outside organization members.
  • Video conference
  • Chat
  • Screen sharing
  • Audio and video control
  • Background changes
  • Customization on top of the base product
  • Scalability in terms of participation
  • End point hardware improvement
  • Stability of core
  • Video quality while load generates
In terms of the customization of the video conference system, Jitsi allows us to make this happen. Also, it allows us to integrate with PBX so that participants can join the conference over GSM calls. In terms of less appropriate, SFU architecture requires more powerful resources to manage multiple calls, but the advantage is that server-side, we require minimum resources to run all the components.

I started using Jitsi as a medium to connect with my team members as we all are working from home. It is a great tool for having a one-on-one as well as for a group conference of more than 15 people. I generally use it to have talked with my colleague regarding the work process.
  • Hosting meetings
  • Sharing screen
  • Business call
  • Personal call
  • Screen sharing is fluctuating which can be improved
  • It consumes a lot of bandwidth even while text sharing via screen share
  • Video quality can be improved for video calls
I think anyone can use host a meeting using Jitsi easily. It has user-friendly UI. It can be used for daily meetings, small online conferences, etc. Jitsi is best for having a quick conference call without having to think of its setup process. You can also create a separate lobby for people to wait while other people are busy talking in the main room.

  • During this global pandemic, it has been a very useful tool for setting up meetings and getting on with everyday office work.
  • Good quality audio to have a online phone call with anyone.
For me, the main feature that separates Jitsi from other is the way how I can host a meeting. I can have both a public room as well as a secure private room with a password.

Jitsi is being used as a tool for communication between team members. We can host small as well as big meetings in Jitsi, and the meeting room can be protected using a password. Also, good audio quality and video background changing featured in its latest version has made it really a professional tool. In our organization, we use it every day during the standup meeting for the department.
  • Background changing
  • Screen sharing
  • Secure meeting room
  • Easy to join
  • Improve the quality of video during screen sharing, especially when we are sharing only test content.
  • It consumes a lot of bandwidth if we share our screen as well as open the camera.
If you need a tool that is very easy to use for a small and quick online meeting, then you can go for Jitsi. However, if you are looking for a professional tool that provides a lot of features like scheduling a meeting, recording the meeting, etc., then there are other tools that fit your requirements better. However, Jitsi is a nice tool that can also be used for personal calls.

  • All in all, jitsi has made the communication between team members easy. Hosting a small meeting is not that difficult so people wo are working from home do not hesitate to start a meet whenever they feel needed.
  • Remote working is not possible without proper communication and jitsi has been used for communication in my organization. So, it has been a very usefull tool for us.
Jitsi is easier to use than any other tools that I have ever used for communication.
