  • Tell HN: Microsoft Teams is blocking Firefox Nightly
    I was using teams this week in Linux, both Firefox and Chromium, and it was showing everything OK, webcam and audio, but the person on the other side, in Windows, was not receiving webcam image. In the end we just made a Jitsi meeting https://meet.jit.si https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/join-a-meeting. - Source: Hacker News / 21 days ago
  • Paizo: The ORC Alliance Grows
    When we have access to free videoconferencing like meet.jit.si and miro.com as a shared desktop. - Source: Reddit / 2 months ago
  • Is there any xmpp app can make group calls?
    Jitsi Meet is based to XMPP, but no need XMPP account. It's probably the only free XMPP app right now that supports group video calls. Conversation, Dino. Etc is for private video call. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago
  • privacy-friendly screensharing
    Use https://teamjoin.de/ instead. https://meet.jit.si includes trackers. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago
  • privacy-friendly screensharing
    No need for it. You can go to https://meet.jit.si and create a room there,which you can access through a browser, or the mobile apps. You only need to decide the room name. You can create a new one each time, or if you save the link (or make it easy to remember) you can use the same room time and time again. Having tried this, I never understood the success of things like zoom, which not only is it a privacy... - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago
  • What non-KDE desktop apps do you still use?
    Meld - because it is the Linux app that is most similar to WinMerge. Smplayer + mpv - for yt-dlp, no GUI elements, keyboard shortcuts, command line friendly. Xfreerdp - no GUI elements, command line friendly. OBS Studio, Firefox private window, gimp, git-gui/gitk - apps that work on both Linux and Windows. VS Code - for grepping source code, e.g. "~/kde/src". Virtual Machine Manager + qemu/kvm - the default Linux... - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago
  • Telegram enable sign up without a SIM card
    Oh, you're poisoned. There's something shady about all these new "chat clients" that require so much personal crap. I tend to prefer software that allows you to host your own server - Jitsi and Jitsi Meet allow that. Jitsi has ZRTP encryption and Jitsi Meet uses WebRTC for end-to-end encryption, but I like that even if you don't want to host it yourself, you can still use it without software/logins here on their... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
  • Offering: English (American), Seeking: French (hexagonal)
    I'd be happy to find a long-term language partner who has the same lofty goal and interest. I'd love to meet virtually on Sundays via Jitsi - even if it's just for ten minutes at a time - or send each other audio files on the weekend. I don't know much about American English phonetics, so my feedback will be whether or not the sounds you make sound like those of a native speaker to my ear. I can demonstrate... - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago
  • Tell HN: Facebook Messenger is testing in-call video ads
    Might I suggest Jitsi? We've used it with success with our older relatives. https://meet.jit.si/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
  • How to augment Wiki for collaborative learning? Add conversations.
    The editors could add the conversation hubs such as local meetups, Scratch, free4talk, Schoolhouse.world, discord, Zoom, Jitsi, Eventbrite, or Reddit on the article talk page and a central calendar or on the site annotation (hypothes.is). Linking to the existing meeting sites with facilitator present and safety measures would lower the risks. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

    Meet.jit.si — One click video conversations, screen sharing, for free. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

  • Live! Cam Sync 1080p V2, video works, mic doesn't
    At meet.jit.si microphone settings are greyed out, I have given microphone and camera permissions, in pavucontrol Live! Is not in Input Devices, but in Configuration it shows up (I have selected Analog Stereo Input). - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago
  • Ask HN: Is it still possible to live in a terminal?
    Https://meet.jit.si for example… I don’t think mindless cargo culture is a trend to follow, nor will tech savvy devs disappear nor will the need to remotely administer servers via command lines tools disappear. Remote Desktop solutions are not realistic tools for server administration in any sort of serious way, so I’m pretty sure that’s a niche that will always exist…. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
  • Hey fellow lawyers do any of you use Zoom to conduct meetings with clients?
    I've used Jitsi a few times for quick conversations. It's free and open source and there's no set up, login, or required software. I go to https://meet.jit.si/ and put in a name for the meeting and send the URL to the client. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago
  • Enhanced noise suppression in Jitsi Meet
    Jitsi Meet is used directly in the browser. Like at this address: https://meet.jit.si. You can also set up your own instance. A desktop client also exists for Windows, macOS, Linux: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron - kind of not really advertised, provides remote desktop control. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
  • Enhanced noise suppression in Jitsi Meet
    It's a free video conference service. https://meet.jit.si/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

  • Using meet.jit.si only 360p video?
    I attend a regularly scheduled meeting on meet.jit.si with 5 to 10 people max and it seems the individuals on iPhones are sending better video than I am. - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago
  • Galène Videoconference Server
    I like jitsi, want to switch our whole organisation over. Why did you decide to have it deployed on your own instead of using https://meet.jit.si? - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
