Jami - An Open Source, Peer-to-Peer, Audio, Video, Conferencing, Chat, and Screen Sharing System.
Video Overview & Insights
Jami caught my attention as I was looking for a tool that I could use to call someone and get a push notification sent to them that a call is coming in (like Facetime, Teams, Slack, etc). Jitsi Meet doesn't really do that. The only other thing I've found that's open source, that does this so far is Nextcloud talk, but then you have to run Nextcloud to get it to work. So this seems like a nice middle-ground tool where no server is required.
How dose it connect? Is it a DNS look up or something more like iroh?

I need to do some research. How does this not need a server of some kind? Or did I miss hear something? How does it deal with NATed networks?

Awesome , thanks
Try out SSDNodes VPS Services! Amazing Specs for incredibly low costs. I'm running a 32 GB RAM / $ CPU Server for only $9 a month! Seriously. FOr long term server usage, this is the way to go!

Waaaitaminute.... If this is not using any central server or relay how the hell it knows that the username or accname is in use or not? Real p2p services uses keychains or pgp for authorisation(like retroshare, that also works on lan also) therefore no name index in those... so. how is this then? There is a central db or not?

Have you tried the Android version yet? I'm trying to find an app that can do video calling for people over long distances on my phone. My family uses Facebook messenger, but I refuse to use it for obvious reasons. So far, I came across Briar, Session, Signal, Element, and now Jami. So many choices, but I'm afraid of the ones that are way too complicated for convincing my mom to get into. Which do you think is better and simpler for video calling over long distances on phones for a family?

great video also you are a gentleman!
What does the money go to?
To Pay for Digital Ocean droplets, donations to open source projects I feature, any hardware I may need to purchase for future episodes (which I will then give to a subscriber in a drawing or contest).
Great video thank you. I'm impressed with Jami too. I was looking for a secure text / video chat for cell and desktop. Jitsi is another good one. I set up my own server so I know it's secure but everyone is stuck on FB or normal texting via phone. I keep warning people to set up secure channels now because it will soon be too late...

If it validates your username availability it has to be contacting a server of some kind. So this is still somewhat dependant on an external service to operate.

Can this be self hosted on docker
@watchbro3319this channel is so good, god damn. I will support as soon as I have more money
@ino9138Thanks for this buddy. Needed an app like this. So helpful when people have review videos.
@JRis44Thanks for your video and expanding on donating.
I try to teach my children that there is nothing that is free. If I do not pay its full price for it with money, someone else pays for the remainder somehow. It might be with their (spare) time, be it with lower salary, be it nature with more destruction to it aka we all in the end.
Looking for Discord replacement, but this app not mature yet for that.
@sigitasnI have a problem with TURN server stuff. How does it work? If one could just open a port on one's router by connecting to TURN server and then somebody else (than TURN server) could connect back on this port - wouldn't it be a security risk? And if so it would probably be disabled by the router by default.
Also I was kind of disappointed with speeds and reliability of sending files, which kind of precludes it being true P2P. P2P shouldn't care if it is 1 MB or 1 GB of transfer. Or am I missing something?
I've patented this since 2020... with live captions, transcriptions, audio conferencing, and language translations
@zayhalo3964They are infringing on my patent
@zayhalo3964Kool! I am going to have to check this out again, but if notifications are flaky then it will be a no-go as I am looking for something to replace Signal for the family.
It's a pity Banji, the KDE client did not take off. It would be good to have a native app for Kubuntu.
I discovered Jami recently and one thing I"m struggling to understand or find out is, where is my data stored in my android device? Since it's P2P, the data must be within my device and I can't find a folder named "Jami" or something that has my sent/downloaded files, pics, etc.
Can someone please help me out with this? Thanks!
Is there any open source webinar service out there?
@encapsulatioCurious if there are higher bandwidth requirements than say Zoom or Teams because of the p2p nature?
@RyanPrather33Does this work offline (local network only)?
@wrt54gs7Is there any chat software like Jami that runs on Linux server but has windows clients? Asking for a friend :P (At first, I was all hyped up about this video, but then I realized that accounting is outside organization :( ) - anyways, kudos for all your videos and this youtube channel
@nunosilva2128Great video. I've been using Jami for a while. It has really come along in performance and reliability over the past year and is now a very usable messaging system.
@AndyJHiscockI guess without an relay server it will not work between seperated networks or from outside of the home network(Internet)?
@gmailmannedumeet insall video please..
@mesutdemirci7933Thanks for the video! I have been using Jitsi and like it a lot but I think Jami might be fun to try.
@briianhebertThis looks very interesting. I'm curious if the "account" is created on Jami's server?
UPDATE: The FAQ says the account is solely on the device where it was created. Which makes me more intrigued, but also confused as to how others will know how to connect with you.
"If you run a tool on a regular basis, you might have to pay [...]" is a great reminder that all the tools you display in your videos and we love on our desktops or servers are meticulously crafted by passionate developers who also need to eat, drink and entertain! 😉 I personnaly have paid for ALL the "free" tools I'm using on a daily basis (including some Linux distros). That's a few bucks for us and a payroll for them!
One again thanks for the great quality of your videos! 👏
Great video as always. It's good to be back watching your videos after my heart attack.
@rguifaPine64 will be making RISC-V based hardwares now,
HELL YEEEEEAAH
How is this different to Signal Messenger? I believe Signal also has a direct encrypted connection between devices. The only difference I see is Signal Messenger links your SIM (phone number) to your account (which resides on your device), whereas Jami identifies you by the username you select (which I believe is held in a database on a server somewhere). Correct me if I'm wrong.
@PsykohDreand about jitsi meet ?
@zyroxiot9417Its look like skype alternative, right?
@voltovfuldid you try to install linux on nfs server and boot computers via network with shared nfs root partition? it is awesome :) no need to administrate every single pc, you install or setup something on any pc and its affect all others too
@theurs2Good video! It seems like jitsi or nextcloud's talk. What do you think of those? I like that you donated also.😀
@mhavockI also am curious how it compares with matrix
@guusbaggen5569A Group I Work With (OSE) Is Looking for a “Discord Killer” (or “Slack” killer for that matter too).
How does this compare to options like Matrix (i think that was the name, i can check)?
Very, very cool 😎 i will check it out with a connection from Germany to Thailand 🤔🤔
