Ask HN: Any good open source video conferencing options?
Came across [Jitsi](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/releases/tag/v2023.7.2) and [BigBlueButton](https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton), does anyone have experience of running these or others in production?

How does this sub feel about remote work?
Middle managers not adapting. When my old job when remote for Covid, my manager would hold telecons, despite having access to videoconference software with the capability to document and screen share (IT setup BigBlueButton ). He would talk to slides we couldn't see, and we were lucky if he sent them out in email before hand.
-
Any open source project with video call + screen share + remote access features similar to Zoom or Team Viewer?
BBB team has not implemented this feature yet I suppose. https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/issues/1428

Selfhosted/Decentralized TeamSpeak alternatives with screensharing/streaming
You should try BBB : https://bigbluebutton.org/
- Collaborative videoconferencing platform?

IMPORTANT: It looks like the schools are turning into a warzone and too dangerous for children. People are hoping to shift education online (avoiding the regime platforms). We are looking for something like a persian Khan Academy. If you know any platforms or ideas about this please comment here.
https://bigbluebutton.org/ is a free and open source classroom software. I would stick to indiependent and free software in your situation

Web based Video/audio chat solution with high quality single presenter video?
I haven't used it to stream movies, but I use BigBlueButton fairly regularly for video/voice calls
-
Germany Forces a Microsoft 365 Ban Due to Privacy Concerns
Big Blue Button (https://bigbluebutton.org) is one. We actually used it at work for meetings but it seems they have since pivoted to be for more virtual classroom.
I agree though, even that would need decent IT talent to setup and maintain.

Ask HN: Are there any good open source screen sharing tools with remote control?
I spent hours last night trying to re-enable remote control on Jitsi's electron app with no luck[1]. Are there any other good open source tools out there for remote controlling a friends' computer screen on a call?

Jitsi: More secure, more flexible, and completely free video conferencing
I love Jitsi Meet. My friends and I started using it during COVID and it's constantly improved. I host my own instance using docker and it's a breeze.
One issue that really prevents us replacing Mumble with it completely is lack of Push-to-talk [1], which is necessary for gaming etc. Do you know of anyone working on a native desktop app (open source or otherwise)?

Someone with the same problem?
Yes, it happens in other Electron apps too. I found this: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/issues/442

Enhanced noise suppression in Jitsi Meet
Jitsi Meet is used directly in the browser. Like at this address: https://meet.jit.si. You can also set up your own instance.
A desktop client also exists for Windows, macOS, Linux: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron - kind of not really advertised, provides remote desktop control.
-
Does Jitsi Meet really support end-to-end encryption? More importantly, do its desktop versions really support it out of the box?
You can turn on end-to-end encryption (e2ee) as long as you are using Jitsi Meet on a browser with support for insertable streams. Currently this means any browser based on Chromium 83 and above, including Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Brave and Opera. You may also use our Electron client, which supports it out of the box.

What's the advantage of Wayland?
Support is there, but not enabled for some reason. This issue on Jitsi application (also using Electron which is Chrome stuff) shows the location of real problem.
-
is there any opensource "remote assistance" project ?
You will need a client. Browsers typically cannot type in other apps. Something that's free, open source, and runs on all platforms is Jitsi Meet. If you install the client, you'll have an option for "Remote control". I personally like that I'm in a call with the other person at the same time.
- Here's my Steam App redesign! Tell me what you think :)

Jitsi Meet laptop apps
We focus on the apps on mobile, on desktop we recommend the browser, but we also have an Electron app: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron
