Jitsi
Jitsi is a free, open-source video conferencing platform that lets users host and join group video calls without creating an account or installing plugins. It is available as a web application (jitsi.org) and as native mobile and desktop clients for macOS, Windows, Linux and iOS. Jitsi supports screen sharing, recording, chat, and integration with other services. It is widely used by remote teams, educational institutions, and individuals who want a privacy-respecting alternative to proprietary video conferencing services, as well as by organizations that self-host Jitsi Meet servers on their own infrastructure.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe most practical option is to use Jitsi's free web client at meet.jitsi.org, which runs natively in any modern web browser on Apple Silicon without any architecture compatibility issues. If you prefer a dedicated native desktop app, contact the Jitsi team to ask about native Apple Silicon support in their official client — the search results we found are dated and do not clarify the current state. Alternatively, several other actively maintained video conferencing tools offer confirmed native Apple Silicon builds: Google Meet runs in the browser natively, Zoom has a native app available from zoom.us, Microsoft Teams ships a native build on the Mac App Store, and open-source Nextcloud Talk integrates video conferencing if you self-host. Since Rosetta 2 will be removed in macOS 28 (late 2027), an Intel-only Jitsi desktop client would stop working at that point, so confirming native support or switching to a browser-based option sooner rather than later is advisable.
