Hi,

I'm looking for a E2EE and decentralized (or self hosted) videoconferencing that would have the following feature

  • video or voice-only call
  • share screen
  • files transfer (optional)
  • text chat

( all of it E2EE )

I'm considering Jitsi meet, that seem the meet those requirements

Do you know better alternatives or do you have remarks about Jitsi ?

Thanks.

I personally haven't used it yet but I believe you can do all this with Matrix (choose your client - probably Element).

Matrix currently just uses jitsi for group video calls. Native functionality is in development.

Why did I think that changed with 2.0? Another commenter identified this. Element has native call now.

The experimental Element X client implements it only for mobile, and on desktop you must use the separate Element-call client.

Everything else still uses jitsi.

Like I said, it's in development. Yes, you can jump some hoops to use it, but jitsi in element (and other matrix clients) is sticking around for a while yet.

I bet that's on some document buried somewhere. Thank you!

It's in beta, but it's already quite usable. You can try it without account on a public instance e.g. at call.element.io
