Jitsi Desktop is a free open-source audio/video calling and instant messaging client written in Java, supporting SIP, XMPP/Jabber, IRC, and legacy networks with encrypted calls (ZRTP/SRTP) and OTR chat. It is the legacy desktop project behind Jitsi Meet and is no longer actively developed, relying on community contributions.

Use cases

make encrypted SIP and XMPP audio/video calls from my desktop
chat client that connects to multiple IM networks like IRC, ICQ, and Jabber
desktop VoIP app with ZRTP encrypted calls
OTR encrypted instant messaging client
share my desktop during a SIP or XMPP call
multi-protocol communicator for Windows, Mac, and Linux

When to choose

you need a multi-protocol desktop client for SIP, XMPP, and legacy IM networks
you want end-to-end encrypted calls (ZRTP/SRTP) and OTR chat in one app
you need components like Jigasi's SIP integration or want to study an OSGi-based Java communicator

When to avoid

you want modern video conferencing - use Jitsi Meet instead
you need actively maintained software with regular updates and support
you need an RPM package or mobile (Android/iOS) client
