Announcing https://meet.thinvent.in/welcome.html
I came across this news today: https://www.deccanherald.com/specials/make-in-india-govt-invites-app-developers-to-build-zoom-alternative-offers-rs-1-crore-prize-827037.html
The GoI is throwing ₹1 crore at developing a videoconferencing app. But Open Source SIP solutions have existed for at least the last 20 years. So I thought I would so a quick check of the current FLOSS videoconferencing landscape, and found Jitsi. Jitsi is WebRTC compliant, which means that like Google Meet, it runs entirely within your browser (on a PC). For mobile devices you need an app.
So I quickly set up https://meet.thinvent.in/, and invite you, and all your friends, colleagues, viewers and customers, to please use it and test it. This is an entirely free (both free as in freedom and free as in beer), secure, and low bandwidth alternative to Zoom, Google Meet, Duo, Facetime, and every other tracking infested videoconferencing solution out there.
All traffic is encrypted with a LetsEncrypt SSL key. The servers are hosted in Mumbai and do not, by design, store any of your audio or video. Calls between two apps should be entirely peer to peer, with the traffic not even passing through the server (yet to test this, please use and help me test).
I'll be adding some blogs to this website to explain how this solution is secure and scalable. I will also include instructions on how you can set up your own server in next to no time.
