Open Source Alternatives to Google Meet

Switching from Google Meet to Jitsi Meet removes the requirement for a Google account or Workspace subscription entirely — meetings can start instantly from a browser with no login and no participant time or count limits on a self-hosted deployment. Jitsi is fully open source and can be run on your own infrastructure, giving organizations with data-residency requirements full control over where meeting data lives. It doesn’t match Meet’s native Calendar/Gmail scheduling integration or Gemini-generated meeting notes, but for straightforward video calls, screen sharing, and recording, it covers the same core workflow at no cost and without vendor lock-in.
