Breakout rooms
Jitsi does not natively support breakout rooms (e.g. see #4787 and #5550); however there are various solutions for this functionality built on top of Jitsi:
| Name | License | Cost model | Admin can move participants | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| "DIY" - manually combine Jitsi with other comms tools | Depends on what you use | Depends on what you use | No | Not a great solution, since no native integration; everyone needs to follow a pre-agreed workflow and which Jitsi rooms to use, e.g. https://meet.jit.si/<eventname>-<roomname> |
| Veertly | Apache 2.0 | Cannot currently be self-hosted as it requires firebase (also SaaS - free for now?) | No | Try the online demo |
| Wurk.app | Apache 2.0 | Open Source | Yes | Original comment Uses a Main room. The meeting host can add unlimited other rooms and move web-based participants to them. Moving participants away from the main room is not yet supported on mobile. Supports timeboxes and broadcast messages. Meeting hosts can unmute / mute others. Wurk uses a self hosted Jitsi meet installation |
| VideoFacilitator | Proprietary SaaS | Subscription (see pricing) | ? | Issues with navigating rooms on mobile? |
| Plugin for Openfire Meetings | Apache 2.0 | Free (self-hosting) | ? | More info here |
