## What it is
Jitsi Meet is an open-source, encrypted video conferencing platform that works in the browser and via native mobile/desktop apps, powered by the Jitsi Videobridge SFU media server. It can be used as a hosted free service, self-hosted via Debian packages or Docker, or embedded into web applications through its SDKs.

## Use cases
- host secure video meetings without an account
- self-host a video conferencing server for my organization
- embed video calls into my web application
- run webinars with screen sharing and chat
- record and stream video conferences to YouTube or RTMP
- connect SIP telephony into a web conference
- replace Zoom with an open-source alternative

## When to choose
- you need free, encrypted multi-party video calls with no account required
- you want full control by self-hosting your conferencing infrastructure
- you need to embed video conferencing into your own product via SDKs
- you need scalable SFU-based routing with simulcast and SVC support

## When to avoid
- you need a turnkey managed solution with enterprise support and no ops burden (consider JaaS or commercial tools)
- you lack server resources or DevOps capacity for self-hosting
- you need deep integrations with a specific commercial meeting ecosystem
