Jitsi Meet - Secure, Simple and Scalable Video Conferences

Jitsi Meet is an open-source (Apache) WebRTC JavaScript application that uses Jitsi Videobridge to provide high quality, secure and scalable video conferences. Jitsi Meet in action can be seen at here at the session #482 of the VoIP Users Conference.

The Jitsi Meet client runs in your browser, without installing anything else on your computer. You can try it out at https://meet.jit.si.

Jitsi Meet allows very efficient collaboration. Users can stream their desktop or only some windows. It also supports shared document editing with Etherpad.

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.

(If you want to host a Jitsi server only below - not necessary for general Whonix users)

Installing Jitsi Meet is a simple experience. For Debian-based system, following the quick install document, which uses the package system. You can also see a demonstration of the process in this tutorial video.

For other systems, or if you wish to install all components manually, see the detailed manual installation instructions.

Installation with Docker is also available. Please see the instruction.

Looks like you can just do videochat straight through the browser, no account needed, fully encrypted, 100% opensource and just need to create a meeting name?

Seems to work in Tor Browser with JS enabled - so if it works, who wants to bother with really complicated setups as per all the other VoIP options. Too easy to be safe?

It then creates a room with link, dial in & pin, and you can just cut and paste the details to share with whomever. Optional password can be set for others to join the link. (You should maybe test this with one of your Whonix friends Patrick to see if it works well, with not too much delay etc.)

Filezilla works out of the box, but is not pre-installed.

For Tor Browser and/or wget, users could experiment with TrackHostExits [archive]. Further information on TrackHostExits can be found here [archive] and here [archive].

What do you want here - just Filezilla install instructions, some pics, and basic “How to”? Will it need anything special in Whonix?
