I think it just uses a server to do connecting people up and then WebRTC
does the heavy lifting (BICBW). You can host your own, but Jitsi do
provide that for free (you get a small ad for 8x8, the company who seem
to be funding it, after the call).
We've been using it for some of the DoES Liverpool meetups, and it seems
alright. The regular Thursday evening Maker Night will be on from 8pm
this evening, if anyone fancies dialling in - https://meet.jit.si/bubblino
(Feel free to use that URL for the LivLUG if you like. It's just an
ongoing open DoES Liverpool chat, but mostly empty apart from organised
events)
Cheers,
Adrian.
P.S. I can't remember if Saul gave a talk on libuv at LivLUG when he was
here in Liverpool and was working from DoES, but he's on the Jitsi team too

Hi all,
Sounds like fun :-)
Ive not used jitsi before, does someone need to host a server for this
to work or is cloud based?
Thanks
Phil

Perfect, nice and easy. I had a Java client for it but this was a few
years ago now. Glad it's evolved past that :)
