Open source Google Meet alternatives

OpenVidu: Open-source, multi-platform, WebRTC videoconferences

“Hi there, I'm Juan, main developer of Kurento Media Server. I'll try to contextualize here what is OpenVidu and where it comes from. Kurento [1] is a WebRTC server which you deploy in your cloud and then control through another application server, of which OpenVidu is one. While…”

OpenVidu: Open-source, multi-platform, WebRTC videoconferences

“The demos run over a shared instance of a server with fixed resources, so I wouldn't count on it being the most stable experience, especially if it becomes popular enough to saturate the machine's resources. The intention of these demos is just to provide a showcase of the types…”

Jitsi Meet: An open source alternative to Zoom

“You could use LDAP, but really the default configuration allows for Prosody commands, e.g. prosodyctl adduser [email protected] What I did was set up a vanilla Jitsi Meet instance (on DigitalOcean) and then create a shared user / pass per room share with my team. Feel free to…”

Proof of concept: end-to-end encryption in Jitsi Meet

“Jitsi Meet even shows a popup saying Firefox is not supported, and the only fully supported browsers are Chrome and Chromium. You're right that screen sharing does seem to work in Firefox! Thanks for pointing that out. It looks like FF on my Linux box is blocking it, but I guess…”

LiveKit – Open source, high performance WebRTC infrastructure

“I am so impressed how quickly LiveKit has developed and become polished. If you missed it they wrote a really good article on it here[0] I also really love as a company how LiveKit operates. I work on an Open Source library they use (Pion). They contributed so much upstream and…”

LiveKit – Open source, high performance WebRTC infrastructure

“You certainly could, there are some folks in the community building Twitch-like livestreaming experiences with LiveKit. One of my teammates built a mobile livestreaming demo app, perhaps I can convince him to release the code. ;) Update: Given that this is for internal use at…”

The most surprising thing I've seen in 2009, courtesy of Etherpad

“Cheating is a difficult and important problem, but I'm not sure this solution would be worth the inconvenience it would cause. If it only inconvenienced cheaters that would be fine -- but I think it would also cause some honest students and teachers a lot of trouble. First,…”

“"I doubt everyone will abandon their word processing software and user Etherpad." They will probably give up Word for something, eventually. Especially among the current generation, writing is something done online; a blog, an email, a tweet, writing on someone's wall. At some…”

Force only TLS and DTLS sockets not working

“As commented in [this group post]( `--no_tcp` and `--no_udp` flags do not disable plain sockets. Intead of that, activating both only disable `listening-port` and continue enabling `tls-listening-port`, but accepting both, plain and TLS/DTLS connections. I would like having…”

The server returned an error with code=701: STUN/TURN allocate request timed out.

“Hi everybody, First, many thanks to everybody and so sorry for my English. I'm beginer in this, i installed and configured Coturn, it looks good. But when i tried test with Trickle ICE tools i got error 701: ![image]( I have tried everything but it still fails. Please help me!…”

PeerJS – Simple peer-to-peer with WebRTC

“I used PeerJS for a project, , that has been running for a few years. I have run my own PeerServer on Heroku all of that time without incident. I have tested connectivity over WebRTC from many places around the world and have never had a problem other than from the lobbies of…”

PeerJS – Simple peer-to-peer with WebRTC

“You don't need to run a server for signalling. This can be done via Firebase events. (but then, you don't really need PeerJS - see )”

Mediasoup – WebRTC video conferencing

“Kurento is not dead. New releases are published from time to time. And its companion project OpenVidu provides a lot of features. Mediasoup and Janus are also really good projects. Disclaimer: I'm OpenVidu project lead.”

Mediasoup worker crash (libwebrtc uint64_t/int64_t conversion related)

“## Bug Report Mediasoup worker dies unexpectedly ### Your environment - Operating system: Alpine Linux v3.11 - Node version: v12.14.0 - npm version: 6.13.4 - gcc/clang version: gcc 9.2.0 - mediasoup version: v3.4.5 - mediasoup-client version: 3.3.12 ### Issue description…”

FFmpeg merges WebRTC support

“I forgot nothing, but you seemed to forget whose comment you were attempting to bolster. I “flamed” the useless injection of CVEs that attempt to legitimize someone’s point about the insecurity of a protocol, when that tiny amount of CVEs for a technology the world uses quite…”

FFmpeg merges WebRTC support

“When writing this inflammatory post, you seem to have forgot the bigger picture of the thread you are flaming. We're discussing whether it's right to take a second look from a security standpoint when a software implements WebRTC. In this case, it's nuanced, and the…”

Recording fails

“Hi everyone, I tried to enable jibri and encountered some problems. First I got the following error message: ``` org.jitsi.jibri.service.impl.FileRecordingJibriService.finalize() Failed to run finalize script: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/config/finalize.sh":…”

stable-5142-1 breaks web client

“The latest release seems to break the web client connection for me, reverting to stable-5142 fixed the issue. My setup is docker on a root server with `DOCKER_HOST_ADDRESS` set. It seems the client has issues connecting through websockets. When I look at the logs of the…”

France Aiming to Replace Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc.

“This only (but still sadly) applies to the use of the meet.jit.si instance. If you self host there are no such requirements.”

Jitsi Meet: An open source alternative to Zoom

“Thanks! So that means H264/VP9-based conferencing (-- EDIT but VP8 isn't mentioned, and that's what WebRTC uses, right? -- EDIT2 oh, VP8 is mentioned in , looks accelerated too, cool --) will be accelerated in Firefox on Wayland. Great, one more reason to move away from a…”

running Galene behind haproxy ?

“Question is about HAPROXY. Galene is installed sucessfuly but can't see each other on a room. I only see my own face. (users also see only their own face). Configuration Running Galene in a container with only a private IP ( 192.168.10.111) Public IP is behind another container…”

ICE, TURN, coturn: Galène appears to sometimes not reuse channel numbers

“I think I have Galène 1.0 [almost up and running]( with coturn. However, starting a video feed can be somewhat hit or miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes the video stays black. This is not quite good enough for daily use. Coturn often logs this complaint: `error 400: You cannot…”
