Jitsi Videobridge

Open-source WebRTC SFU for multiparty video applications

About Jitsi Videobridge

Jitsi Videobridge is the open-source selective forwarding unit (SFU) at the heart of Jitsi's video conferencing stack. Instead of mixing streams, it relays video, which keeps quality high and lets even modest hardware handle many participants, making it suitable for building massively scalable multiparty video applications. It can be controlled through XMPP or a REST-based Colibri interface, and it secures calls with DTLS/SRTP encryption. Developers use it as the media-routing foundation beneath custom conferencing products.
