What Jitsi Meet actually does
Jitsi Meet is a WebRTC-based video conferencing application that routes media streams through the Jitsi Videobridge. It enables browser-based multi-party meetings without requiring plugins or proprietary client software. The platform is designed for scalable, high-quality audio and video communication.
Best fit: It suits administrators who need to host their own encrypted video conferencing infrastructure for teams or organisations.
Worth knowing: Self-hosting WebRTC infrastructure involves significant bandwidth demands and complex NAT traversal troubleshooting, which can complicate deployment behind strict corporate firewalls.
Deployment notes
You will typically need to configure a reverse proxy for TLS termination and manage multiple supporting containers or packages for the web interface, videobridge, and signaling server.
