Jitsi / Jitsi Features

The Jitsi team is thrilled to share our progress on two exciting projects involving Jitsi Videobridge. One is the re-write of the application, based on new Kotlin based libraries, and the other is the cascaded bridges mode, or Octo. Expect tentacles.

It is inefficient to route one-to-one calls WebRTC calls through a media server. Jitsi’s video conferencing architecture utilizes a feature known as Peer-to-Peer for One-to-One (P2P4121) where calls are sent peer-to-peer instead of through the bridge until the third caller joins. This saves on server utilization when it is not needed. George Politis of the Jitsi team gives a review of this capability and the engineering that went into making it.

The Jitsi video conferencing architecture employs a number of techniques to keep bandwidth and server usage to a minimum while maintaining excellent video quality. George Politis of the Jitsi team gave a talk at this year's IIT-RTC Conference about how they minimize costs without sacrificing call quality with demonstrations from meet.jit.si, the free service they host. Learn about SFU's, simulcast, adaptivity selecting between peer-to-peer and a media server (P2P4121), and how Jitsi intelligently suspends streams.

Jitsi's cascading Selective Forwarding Unit (SFU) technology works to deliver larger, better quality conferences. Boris of the Jitsi team walks through the new architecture they call OCTO that enables this new capability.
