The SPO Foundation launched a video conferencing service based on Jitsi Meet

Free Software Foundation объявил about commissioning service for videoconferencing based on a free platform Jitsi meet, which was recently used to host the LibrePlanet conference online. The service is only available to the participantspaying membership fees (the minimum contribution for FSF members is $10 per month (for students - $6), provided that videoconferencing is used for personal or non-commercial purposes.

The server that coordinates the videoconferencing is hosted in the infrastructure of the Free Software Foundation, which acts as a guarantor of confidentiality and freedom. The server does not record video, voice sessions, or messages, and the logs are set to the minimum level necessary to track problems and abuse. When communicating between two users, end-to-end encryption is used, and when creating a video conference for more than two people, only normal encryption of traffic to the server is used (after the end-to-end encryption for group conferences in Jitsi is ready, this functionality will be enabled in the Free Software Foundation service). Compared to the original Jitsi Meet in the Free Software Foundation service
involved additional patchesaimed at enhancing privacy and freedom.

Jitsi meet is a JavaScript application that uses WebRTC and is able to work with servers based on Jitsi videobridge (gateway for broadcasting video streams to video conference participants). Jitsi Meet supports features such as sharing desktop or individual windows, automatic switching to the active speaker's video, collaborative document editing in Etherpad, presentation sharing, conference streaming on YouTube, audio conferencing mode, the ability to connect participants through the Jigasi telephone gateway, password protection , the "can talk while pressing the button" mode, sending invitations to connect to the conference in the form of a URL, the ability to exchange messages in a text chat. All transmitted data streams between the client and the server are encrypted (it is assumed that the server operates at its own capacity). Jitsi Meet is available both as a standalone application (including for Android and iOS) and as a library for integration into websites.
