Jami, version 202509122057 Beta, was released on October 20, 2025. It serves as a privacy-focused alternative to popular video conferencing platforms like Zoom, emphasizing user freedom and security. One of Jami's standout features is its peer-to-peer architecture, which enables direct communication between users without relying on central servers. This design allows users on the same local network to connect even without internet access.
Moreover, Jami stands out by not imposing restrictions on file size, bandwidth, or the number of accounts, and it does not require users to provide personal information when creating an account—making it a compelling choice for privacy-conscious individuals.
Key features of Jami include:
- Compatibility with SIP and OpenDHT
- Unlimited audio and video calls, including multi-party conferencing
- Instant messaging capabilities
- Searchable call history and call recording
- Advanced call management features like attended call transfer and automatic call answering
- Support for various audio codecs and streaming media during calls
- End-to-end encryption for all communications
- Integration with desktop environments like GNOME and KDE, as well as support for PulseAudio and Jack Audio Connection Kit
- A global keyboard shortcut system and an account assistant wizard for ease of use
- Multilingual support, including languages such as French, English, and Spanish
Jami is not only decentralized, requiring an internet connection via an Internet Service Provider (ISP) for certain functionalities but also prioritizes the security and privacy of its users, making it an attractive option in the current landscape of communication tools.
Looking ahead, Jami could further enhance its offering by integrating additional collaboration tools such as whiteboards or screen-sharing features, improving its usability for professional environments. Additionally, expanding its language support and incorporating more user-friendly interfaces could help broaden its appeal in diverse markets. With ongoing developments, Jami aims to solidify its position as a reliable and secure communication platform
