## What it is
lib-jitsi-meet is a low-level JavaScript API library for building fully custom video conferencing experiences on top of Jitsi Meet infrastructure. It exposes modules for managing connections, conferences, participants, and media tracks with your own GUI.

## Use cases
- embed custom video calls in a web app
- build a video conferencing UI from scratch
- control Jitsi conferences programmatically
- manage audio and video tracks in the browser
- create a branded meeting experience without Jitsi's default interface

## When to choose
- you need full control over the video conferencing UI
- you are building on Jitsi infrastructure and the iframe API is too limiting
- you want to integrate multi-party WebRTC meetings into a custom web application

## When to avoid
- you just need to embed a standard Jitsi meeting quickly (use the iframe API instead)
- you need a native mobile SDK rather than a web library
- you want a turnkey video conferencing product with no development

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
