Presenters can mute participants, send private messages, remove specific individuals and record sessions. Jitsi Meet's screen sharing functionality allows team members to share external applications with coworkers, facilitating quick collaboration. Administrators can set up password-protected virtual rooms and lock rooms to restrict late attendees from joining sessions. The telephony module enables team members to invite participants and join meetings via audio phone calls. Additionally, the picture-in-picture (PIP) mode lets team members use multiple applications simultaneously. Jitsi Meet comes with an application programming interface (API), which allows businesses to integrate the system with multiple third-party applications. It provides Android and iOS mobile applications, which allow users to join video conferences remotely. It is available for free and support is extended via documentation and email. > > Verdict: Rated **4.2/5** by 80 users.

Fully operational. > > **Cons**: Self-hosting implementation may not be as intuitive, but it is still a great solution. If you want a tool like this, you need to know what you are looking for. ----- ### "The open-source video conferencing platform of choice" — 5.0/5 > **Clyde Eugene** | *18 May 2021* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Jitsi is free and open source and that is the biggest Pro that I can think of. However, this does not mean that it has a subpar feature set. We have been using it consistently for conducting virtual meetings across the University since the early days of the pandemic and here are a few pros that I can highlight: - It is very user friendly, even non-techies can figure it out without much training - Jitsi integrates well with Moodle (our LMS of choice) and this allows Faculty to host virtual classrooms right from their course page - The DropBox integration allows users to record their meetings and share the recordings easily with others > > **Cons**: Although it is difficult to fault an outstanding project like Jitsi, there are a few areas that still need to be polished up: - At certain times users join a meeting using the supplied link only to find that they are alone (although others using the same link are in the meeting room). This is usually fixed by leaving and rejoining the meeting - Jitsi often struggles with poor connectivity and this matters in not-so-well-developed settings like where some of our students stay > > We have been using Jitsi to conduct meetings and virtual classes for our students. Overall, we are very satisfied with the user experience. I am constantly delighted to see new features being added to the platform (e.g. virtual backgrounds), and the team even upgraded their user interface. ----- ### "Good meeting solution - horrible deployment and recording" — 4.0/5 > **Piotr** | *21 September 2021* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Transition between people during the meeting are really nice. Also quality of meetings and, obviously price. > > **Cons**: Recording is really flaky. It needs external solution (jibri) and it's failing quite often. Deployment is a nightmare and you need skilled IT team to have it running reliably. ----- ### "Jitsi or not jitsi" — 4.0/5 > **Arnaud** | *21 March 2021* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is a videoconference platform. What is great is that you do not have any software to download. You just have to create a room, send the link to the people who must attend the meeting et voila \! The communication is crypted. You can share screen and there is a chat box. It is easy to select the speakers and the microphone in use > > **Cons**: Compare to other videoconference plateform or software, jitsi miss the possibility to organize independant rooms or a virtual whiteboard. You cannot also record it. It is better to use it on Google. Sometime you loose connection or cannot hear someone that neet to reload the browser > > It is very convenient. You can set up a room send the link and start a meeting in a matter of minutes ----- ### "Whenever you need a conference call..." — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *12 June 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to quickly create a meeting room, wich a customized name and an easily accessible URL makes it perfect for everyday use. > > **Cons**: Stability and bandwidth issues, even on a self hosted server, seems to cause some issues with heavy usage unfortunately. > > For one-on-one calls or small groups, jitsi is our go-to meeting room, especially in lockdown-times. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/171049/jitsi-meet?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/171049/jitsi-meet) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
