Jitsi Meet
Open-source encrypted video conferencing with no account needed, self-host option, and unlimited meeting time.
Jitsi Meet is an open-source video conferencing platform that works entirely in the browser — no downloads, no accounts, no time limits. It supports E2E encryption for one-on-one calls (group E2E is experimental), screen sharing, and integration with Slack, Google Calendar, and Office 365. The public instance at meet.jit.si is free; organizations can self-host their own Jitsi server for full data control. It's the go-to alternative when Zoom's privacy track record is unacceptable.
