Jitsi Desktop

Jitsi Desktop is a free open-source audio/video and chat communicator that supports protocols such as SIP, XMPP/Jabber, IRC and many other useful features.

Please do not confuse this project with Jitsi Meet, the online video conferencing solution with a free instance at https://meet.jit.si.

Support

Jitsi Desktop is the heritage of Jitsi Meet. While some components are still used in e.g. Jigasi, the project is not actively developed anymore. Improvements, bugfixes and builds are entirely based on community contributions.

Installation

Releases

Windows and macOS

Download the installers from GitHub releases.

Ubuntu

Ubuntu users can add the PPA

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jitsi/jitsi-desktop
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jitsi

Debian

Lacking an infrastructure like Ubuntu's PPA, Debian package repository hosting is graciously provided by Cloudsmith.

curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/jitsi/jitsi-desktop/gpg.1BB13FEC36C8131E.key' | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/jitsi/jitsi-desktop/deb/debian
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jitsi

Or manually add the line deb https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/jitsi/jitsi-desktop/deb/debian <distro> main to /etc/apt/sources.list if you don't have the package software-properties-common that provides the command add-apt-repository.

RPM Distros

Sorry, there are currently no rpm packages available.
