OpenMeetings is an open-source alternative to Zoom and Webex for video conferencing. It supports video meetings, webinars, screen sharing, and an interactive whiteboard, all through a web browser. As an Apache project, you can self-host it to run meetings on your own infrastructure.
Key features
- Video conferencing and webinars in the browser
- Screen sharing and interactive whiteboard
- Self-hosted Apache project
Before you switch
Communication tools only work if the people you talk to can use them. Check whether guests or teammates need accounts, and whether the tool bridges to the networks you already use. Self-hosted chat and meeting tools give your team full control, but someone needs to keep the server updated — factor that in.
Like every project on OpenShelf, OpenMeetings is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
