Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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?

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

WebRTC for the Curious
> despite WebRTC mostly being about client/client communication
This is actually kind of a misconception, though it’s an understandable one given that WebRTC is almost always pitched as a peer-to-peer protocol.
In practice, most people using WebRTC for video are sending their video to a server, not directly to another client. It’s pretty safe to assume that most people who use your app are going to need TURN, and at that point, you’re not really doing peer-to-peer at all, so you might as well just have your browser-based app talk to a server that’s pretending to be another browser.
These servers (called Selective Forwarding Units or SFUs) can operate like a TURN server in the case of a one-on-one call, but they can also multiplex everyone’s feeds in the case of a larger conference (peer-to-peer 5 person calls would require each participant to send 4 copies of their video) and often have extra features like the ability to record calls, transcode streams or convert to other protocols.
The one I’ve used a lot is called Janus[0], it’s open source and has good docs, I recommend people check it out if they’re interested in getting deeper into WebRTC or other video streaming tech.

OpenTalk meeting software with Rust back-end open-sourced under EUPL
OpenTalk is a young project for creating online meeting software similar to Jitsi or BigBlueButton. It is a completely new development, and while it is not a fork of an existing open-source project, it integrates with other projects such as the Janus WebRTC server, Redis for volatile state, RabbitMQ for communication between server instances, and PostreSQL for persistent state.

What are good self-hosted WebRTC video solutions today?
I've been looking into Janus WebRTC Server due to the ability for Uv4L to join Janus rooms (I'm building a RaspberyyPi doorbell)
-
Looking for self hosted screen sharing/streaming solution
A related answer to the above is to check out Janus. It's a general purpose WebRTC server that has RTMP and FTL ingest support. I think it's also batteries not included, but I think it's what Glimesh is based on.

Low-latency audio streaming (local network)
I've been using Janus gateway for similar. Pretty easy to setup.

Live video calling - the Dyte way
A number of open-source projects also exist, which give developers a great head start if they're looking to build their own infrastructure - the most popular of these include Jitsi, Mediasoup, Janus, and Pion. These projects provide a layer of abstraction and expose a number of helper functions to perform various tasks, such as creating transports, etc. They have helpful guides on how to get started, but you would still face the aforementioned issues regarding scaling, resources, etc.

Casey Muratori: refterm and the philosophy of non-pessimization (how you can make programs run 100x faster without optimizations)
This all changes when you are actually a domain expert: You can treat the various components as a "white box" because you see the forest for the trees and can make cross-cutting assumptions which will inherently make the code faster. I've noticed a lot of projects written by domain experts are often these giant clusterfucks of C that violate pretty much every guideline there are so many Medium blogs about, and yet they're very stable and widely used. See: https://github.com/meetecho/janus-gateway for example.

Stop using Zoom, Hamburg’s data protection agency warns state government
Yes, there are many self-hosted options out there. https://github.com/meetecho/janus-gateway works well for multi-party video with up to about 15 users in a room assuming everyone has a reasonably reliable connection.
