Came across [Jitsi](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/releases/tag/v2023.7.2) and [BigBlueButton](https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton), does anyone have experience of running these or others in production?

I spent hours last night trying to re-enable remote control on Jitsi's electron app with no luck[1]. Are there any other good open source tools out there for remote controlling a friends' computer screen on a call? [1] https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/issues/877

I love Jitsi Meet. My friends and I started using it during COVID and it's constantly improved. I host my own instance using docker and it's a breeze. One issue that really prevents us replacing Mumble with it completely is lack of Push-to-talk [1], which is necessary for gaming etc. Do you know of anyone working on a native desktop app (open source or otherwise)?

Jitsi Meet is used directly in the browser. Like at this address: https://meet.jit.si. You can also set up your own instance. A desktop client also exists for Windows, macOS, Linux: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron - kind of not really advertised, provides remote desktop control contrary to the strictly web browser version.

I really like Jitsi. I've been running it on a Digital Ocean droplet for my own use. The one feature I've been missing is remote control during a screen sharing session. I understand it was removed for security reasons (https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/issues/431). Are there any plans to implement the feature again in the future? Thanks!

> Would be awesome to hear how they are doing the scaling. Shameless plug: https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/jitsi_scaling/ > so it would really be great to see a supported desktop app for all relevant platforms We have an Electron based app: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron > Also native performance background effects This is in the works, we have to be able to share some news soon!

I love Jitsi and have a server VM at home for my personal use. But while it can share a desktop view I didn't think it allowed control?!? Man, this could be a family support game changer... Edit: requires Electron app it seems. https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/releases Was on HN, some comments suggest the Electron app bundles Chromium.(Not sure if all Electron apps do this, I know nothing about Electron..yet.) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22830846 Edit sub basement 2: Yes, Electron apps include Chromium. "it combines the Chromium rendering engine and the Node.js runtime." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_(software_framework)

Jitsi Meet desktop app: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/releases

Or you can download the Electron app here https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron

If you don't get it, read the page https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron#features Just one example: the Jitsi Meet Electron app e.g., allows you to remote control a screen, if screen owner allows. This makes it a replacement for e.g. TeamViewer, VNC or so...

I am so happy Jitsi exists. My friends and I have a room that we regularly pop into to say hi or play games together. The mobile app I downloaded through F-Droid works incredibly well, and for those of you Firefox users who aren't having the best experience, I recommend using the Electron desktop app [https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/releases]. I've been using the Jitsi Electron app in conjunction with OBS + the VirtualCam plugin to share games, videos and my desktop. Hopefully I can convert more Zoom users.
