Jitsi Meet · Element Call
What it's for
Video-conferencing tools with no account or heavy install, to replace Zoom, Google Meet or Teams.
Why it matters
Jitsi Meet runs in the browser, no account, and can be self-hosted (it’s also the basis of Brave Talk). Element Call is end-to-end encrypted and federated via Matrix. For a simple, fully encrypted call, Signal calls also do the job.
For whom & when
Everyone. On a public Jitsi server, multi-party calls are transport-encrypted; end-to-end encryption is optional.
Install & use
- Jitsi: go to meet.jit.si, create a room name, share the link. Nothing to install.
- Element Call: from the Element (Matrix) app, start a call in a room.
