Architecture

Jitsi comprises a collection of projects:

  • Jitsi Meet - WebRTC compatible JavaScript application that uses Jitsi Videobridge to provide high quality, scalable video conferences
  • Jitsi Videobridge (jvb) - WebRTC compatible server designed to route video streams amongst participants in a conference
  • Jitsi Conference Focus (jicofo) - server-side focus component used in Jitsi Meet conferences that manages media sessions between each of the participants and the videobridge
  • Jitsi Gateway to SIP (jigasi) - server-side application that allows regular SIP clients to join Jitsi Meet conferences
  • Jibri - set of tools for recording and/or streaming a Jitsi Meet conference that works by launching a Chrome instance rendered in a virtual framebuffer and capturing and encoding the output with ffmpeg

External Software used by Jitsi:

  • Prosody - XMPP server used for signalling
