Jitsi reviews

My Views on Jitsi: An Open-Source Video Conferencing Software

Opmerkingen: It is very useful for quick meetings as we don't need to download or launch a dedicated software, which often hangs the system. It allows us to record meetings with the in-built recorder. Therefore, we don't need to download third-party software to record meetings. Its UI is very easy to use and friendly, so none of our clients hesitate to join our monthly meetings.

Pluspunten:

Jitsi is the best open-source and free video conferencing tool. Where every tool in the market charges a lot just to provide some basic features, it comes with all of the advanced features yet at no cost. We don't need to create an account either; we just need to give a name to our meeting and it'll generate a link for us to share it with the other participants to join. The audio and video output are in high definition quality. Meetings can be embedded almost everywhere or can be integrated with any other software. The UI is neat, and there is a big community backing it if anything unpleasant occurs. This ultimate free tool comes with a bundle of advanced features: live screen presentation, live public and private chat, security option, noise suppression, audio-video sharing, live streaming, etc.

Minpunten:

There are a few drawbacks, which I realized. There is a limit of 100 participants. It won't help if an organization needs to have more than 100 people at a conference. As it doesn't require an account to begin with a meeting, sometimes random people join a meeting if one forgets to set a meeting password. Sometimes voices begin to break for all of the participants if End-to-End Encryption is turned on.

High-quality conferencing tool - Jitsi

Opmerkingen: I really enjoy Jitsi meet, because it is available for free with HD quality Audio, Video, Screen Sharing and chat. For development purposes, it facilitates API to integrate Jitsi with your own product.

Pluspunten:

While conferencing with colleges, if the meeting moderator left from the meeting, it automatically assigns anyone to a moderator. It will not end the meeting if the moderator left from the meeting. Another impressive feature is that you can record entire conference or meeting sessions. Along with screen sharing, private chat while conferencing and live chat, it provides high-quality audio and video streaming.

Minpunten:

Of all the features, only they do not support remote access control for the web version, but that is not a major problem. I understand that providing remote access control for the web is not feasible when considering security.

Conference calling

Pluspunten:

I have been using this software for my online classes. It allows you to connect with several people one at a time. It also has options to share messages with the participants.

Minpunten:

One of the major lacking in jitsi is that it crashes alot and sometimes it does not connect you in the meeting. It does not allow screen sharing options and also do not allow you to share documents. There are better options available in market that have better features in terms of video conferencing an

Safe, secure and easy to use and provides full control to host.

Opmerkingen: My overall experience has been quite satisfying and good and I always found this app upto mark in the area of virtual meeting world.

Pluspunten:

Safety features and easy access are most liked features as i don't even require to login to join a meeting and I simply join by joining link and private password.

Minpunten:

I didn't found any lacunae in this app as its safe, secure and end to end encrypted security feature app which also protects privacy of people and professions.

The only VC that respects its users security.

Opmerkingen: Excellent, easy to use.

Pluspunten:

The only solution on the market that is : - Freely and independently auditable for highest security standards (open source) - Server can be installed on premises if cloud does not offer enough privacy - Perfecly works on Linux/Mac/Win/Android/IOS - Do no require you to register/login or send you personal data before using the service. (Does not track you) Interesting features: - Can focus clients on the users that speaks (voice detection on microphone). - Since it can be installed on premises, it's possible to have very low latency. Additionally, it's totally free and open source. Best value in 2020.

Minpunten:

- Some problems with Firefox when presenter, but works with Chrome. FF ok if just client. - Not possible to resize webcam incrustation when sharing screen. (Just on or off).

Jitsi or not jitsi

Opmerkingen: It is very convenient. You can set up a room send the link and start a meeting in a matter of minutes

Pluspunten:

It is a videoconference platform. What is great is that you do not have any software to download. You just have to create a room, send the link to the people who must attend the meeting et voila ! The communication is crypted. You can share screen and there is a chat box. It is easy to select the speakers and the microphone in use

Minpunten:

Compare to other videoconference plateform or software, jitsi miss the possibility to organize independant rooms or a virtual whiteboard. You cannot also record it. It is better to use it on Google. Sometime you loose connection or cannot hear someone that neet to reload the browser

Great Free Open Source Alternative for Video Conferences

Opmerkingen: We have used Jitsi a lot, and although we will be moving soon to do most of our team meetings in Microsoft Teams, it has served us very well, and we still might use it in the future if we need to work with outside collaborators and are looking for a hassle-free setup and meeting.

Pluspunten:

I like that this is an open source project and that it works reliably well. I especially like that it does not require the user to install any application or any browser add-on. We have never had any problems with new users connecting to a Jitsi meeting. I also really like that it allows for recording the meeting (with a connection to Dropbox).

Minpunten:

There are a few minor UI issues that make it a bit bulky to use for newcomers, such as the extensive menu with many options.

Good

Opmerkingen: I don't see what sets Jitsi apart from its competitors, but it has all the functions you want in a meeting app.

Pluspunten:

Does the job - sometimes have connection problems, but I use Jitsi integrated in third-party app so I do not know which app causes the connection problems. It has all the basic functionality - muting, sharing meeting link, screensharing, easy to use mobile app, ...

Minpunten:

I would like the functionality to share the full screen instead of only individual windows. I assume this will be implemented some day.

Great phone solution for small companies working remotely.

Pluspunten:

The system in convenient for companies that have employees based remotely. You can easily access calls and voicemails from your laptop or smartphone.

Minpunten:

Sometimes the connection isn't great. There's also an audio delay once in awhile, usually this is resolved by restarting the system.

It was a revolution!

Opmerkingen: In general, it was good, it was one of the first options that we used in the company in the 2000s and it always met our expectations.

Pluspunten:

There is no limit of participants! Which made things very easy, since there was no need to go around filtering people or leaving them out. It's a very simple and intuitive interface, there is no way to get lost

Minpunten:

It got stuck in time, it has few features which makes it "boring" compared to current competition.

DSGVO konforme Anbieter für Jitsi in der EU

Opmerkingen: Die Jitsi Software ist ausgezeichnet, sie sollte jedoch in der EU selbst gehostet werden. Es gibt auch Anbieter, die Jitsi in der EU hosten, einer davon ist fairkom, der eine leistungsfähige Videobridge Infrastruktur betreibt und mit fairmeeting "jitsi-as-a-Service" inklusive Telefoneinwahl oder Recording im Portfolio hat.

Pluspunten:

Jitsi besticht durch eine einfache Handhabung - die URL ist einfach der Raumname. Der Funktionsumfang entspricht gängigen anderen Videokonferenzsystemen, inklusive Hintergrundbild oder Breakoutrooms. Es muss nichts installiert werden, aber es gibt auch Apps für Smartphone oder Desktop wenn Jitsi häufig verwendet wird.

Minpunten:

Die Ursprünge der Entwicklung von Jitsi sind zwar in Europa, aber es wurde von 8x8 in den USA übernommen und der Servcie wird über AWS Infrastruktur betrieben. Auch sind Google Analytics oder CallStats als externe Dienste aktiviert, die IP Adressen auswerten. Somit ist der Service meet.jit.si nicht DSGVO konform.

Pas le meilleur

Pluspunten:

C'est un outils de visio conférence somme toute assez basique. Il permet de faire des appels vidéos, des partages d'écran et d'avoir un chat.

Minpunten:

Malheureusement, Jitsi a eu beaucoup de problème chez nous avec de nombreux bugs, dont des erreurs de connexion pour les clients ou l'impossibilité d'entendre ou d'être entendu... Cela a rendu souvent l'utilisation très compliquée.

Wonderful Connection to Co-workers

Opmerkingen: It is fantastic and a wonderful process

Pluspunten:

It is a wonderful function that allows screen sharing, person to person interactions, dial-in services - the quality is good and it will revert to audio only if the connection drops down. The best part is feeling secure because the titles of the rooms can be randomized words and it just feels like only people that need to be involved would ever think of.

Minpunten:

The new update did something, where sometimes I have to click the camera twice to get it to not black screen, but beyond that it's been great.

Jitsi nos mantiene conectados

Opmerkingen: La verdad me ha gustado mucho la uso recurrentemente, cada vez que necesito tomar decisiones grupales o reuniones para planificaciones rapidas uso esta aplicación ya que es de facil acceso, lo recomiendo totalmente sobretodo en reuniones de planificacion o trabajos en equipo.

Pluspunten:

Lo que mas me ha gustado del software es que es muy facil de utilizar, incluso para gente de la tercera edad que no tiene muchos conocimientos de estas aplicaciones, se puede usar de manera rapida sin necesidad de descargar nada y eso es lo que mas me gusta.

Minpunten:

Lo que menos me gusta es que recurrentemente hay problemas con el audio dentro de la aplicacion y que a veces al cargar la pantalla se va a negro y me arroja fuera de la reunion, aunque estos son hechos mas bien aislados y el 90% del tiempo funciona a la perfeccion.

Nicht zu empfehlen!

Opmerkingen: SCHEIßE

Pluspunten:

Nichts hat mir hier dran gefallen!

Minpunten:

Man wird 24/7 rausgeschmissen, Audio und Video sind Mist. Chatsystem ist auch Schrott. Eigentlich ist alles Restmüll

Best for online classes.

Opmerkingen: Overall this is good application and user friendly, easy to use.

Pluspunten:

audio and video quality is awesome. It is suitable for online conferences,classes in the case of lockdown due to corona outbreak , which helps for classes to be continued .No registration is required , just creak a room and anyone with the link can join. best part is we can share the screen and present it to others.

Minpunten:

There is no option to share files. Negative point is that anyone can control the meeting,anyone can mute all other participants,anyone can be admin .

Not common

Opmerkingen: We changed after a few months of testing. The rooms ended up giving failure and the number of participants was limited

Pluspunten:

The ability to create permanent meeting rooms to which users can connect automatically and without permission without the need to send an invitation and renew

Minpunten:

It is not a very widespread application and its use is limited to regular users within an organization, compared to more common options to meet with clients.

Jitsi review

Opmerkingen: My overall experience with Jitsi is very good. Would definitely recommend to people or organizations

Pluspunten:

ease of use, I can search the history of my calls with info regarding duration and time call was made

Minpunten:

User experience needs some updates. It crashes sometimes. It disconnected/lost the microphone sometimes, and has to reconnect i.

Videoconferences made simple, free, and private

Pluspunten:

Jitsi offers videoconferences with all the expected features (group calls, screensharing, rise hand, chat, streaming, recording, encryption...) without the need to install specific software (it works from the web browser, although there are specific apps) nor create an account, for free and preserving your privacy. What else?

Minpunten:

I have not found a single problem or glitch with jitsi, I am, though concerned about their business model (none) what makes me wonder about its long-term future.

Secure Video Meetings

Opmerkingen: Used by those people who are concerned about big-tech or servers outside of the EU, Jitsi is easy to use and the UX is ok if not stellar. Still it's free and does the job needed

Pluspunten:

Easy to use as a user - my colleagues who set up the meetings where we use Jitsi say it's not so good as an administrator but I can't say. User experience is OK - not as smooth as some other platforms though

Minpunten:

Often problems where someone in the meeting suddenly is "kicked out" of the meeting or their sound or video doesn'T work. This only happens when using the online version, not with the app...

It just works

Opmerkingen: This platform has made it really easy for us to hold virtual meetings and Bible studies during the COVID crisis when we've been unable to meet in person.

Pluspunten:

This platform is used by Faithlife as the basis for their video chat function. It is easy to use and we have not experienced some of the same kinds of problems we have had with Zoom.

Minpunten:

We did have some issues with audio quality early on that were mostly fixed by having people use headphones.

Cheap solution, hard to deploy

Opmerkingen: We're using jitsi/jibri combination for hosting online classes inside our education platform.

Pluspunten:

* Free! * You are getting complete control over video/audio stream * Embedding meeting in web app was easy * Auth using JWT was a jackpot for us

Minpunten:

* Recording meeting needs a separate piece of software (jibri) and it's quite flaky (it randomly produces broken files) * Not clear server hardware requirements

A great video conference software

Opmerkingen: Since the COVID-19 quarentine we've been using it to meetings and classes and it has worked fine.

Pluspunten:

I really liked the function of choosing the video quality, and the usability. You don't have to download it to be a part of the conference.

Minpunten:

I honestly had no problem with it, the video quality wasn't the best but it did no damage to the meetings.

Excellent video calling app

Opmerkingen: Have used Jitsi for remote training, plan to use for more meetings in the future.

Pluspunten:

Jitsi was easy to get into. There's no install, and very little set up. Setting up a conference is as easy as inventing a room name and sharing the link. As a presenter you have control over visibility, microphones, and screen sharing. As a participant it is seamless.

Minpunten:

Video quality is not great, but I am not sure if that is due to Jitsi or the hardware I and the others on the call are using.

Jitsu review

Pluspunten:

Its speed in setting up,and its ease if use

Minpunten:

Not many of my colleagues are open to the idea of using jitsu
