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.

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. ----- ### "Free and good alternative to other meeting platforms" — 5.0/5 > **Andreas** | *9 December 2021* | Research | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very easy access, high quality, hardly no connection problem, easy to set up meeting rooms and to share the access details, free software to use without log-in or creating an account > > **Cons**: limited features in the free version, but still sufficient for the required scope of use ----- ### "Great phone solution for small companies working remotely." — 3.0/5 > **Amanda** | *23 April 2018* > > **Pros**: The system in convenient for companies that have employees based remotely. You can easily access calls and voicemails from your laptop or smartphone. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the connection isn't great. There's also an audio delay once in awhile, usually this is resolved by restarting the system. ----- ### "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 ----- ### "Good" — 4.0/5 > **Iris** | *17 November 2018* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Does the job - sometimes have connection problems, but I use Jitsi integrated in third-party app so I do not know which app causes the connection problems. It has all the basic functionality - muting, sharing meeting link, screensharing, easy to use mobile app, ... > > **Cons**: I would like the functionality to share the full screen instead of only individual windows. I assume this will be implemented some day. > > I don't see what sets Jitsi apart from its competitors, but it has all the functions you want in a meeting app. ----- 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
