Free and open-source video conferencing platform

Jitsi Meet ships near-monthly tags from GitHub — open-source WebRTC on rails, no public marketing layer.

◆Current state
Jitsi Meet's release stream is a steady drumbeat of GitHub release tags — roughly monthly, with version numbers like 1.0.9139, 1.0.9008, 1.0.8979 and so on. The crawler captured the GitHub release page chrome and 'Sorry, something went wrong' UI errors rather than release notes themselves; substantive change-detail lives in the project's commit history. The cadence and fork/star counts (7.9k forks, 29k stars) tell the real story: a heavily relied-on open-source WebRTC stack maintained by 8x8.
◆Where it's heading
Jitsi Meet remains the default 'self-hostable Zoom' for organizations that need video conferencing without sending traffic through SaaS. Recent activity stays concentrated on the 1.0.x line for jitsi-meet plus matching 2.0.x docker-jitsi-meet bundles. Direction is set by 8x8's enterprise priorities and community contributions, not by user-facing positioning shifts.
◆Prediction
Expect continued monthly tag cadence and gradual platform modernization (newer Jicofo/JVB versions, codec updates, AV1 expansion). The interesting watch is whether 8x8 lands AI-meeting-assistant features upstream into Jitsi Meet or keeps them in its commercial offering.
