What is Jami?
-------------
Jami is a GNU package for universal communication that respects the
freedom and privacy of its users. Jami is an end-to-end encrypted
secure and distributed voice, video, and chat communication platform
that requires no central server, and leaves the power of privacy and
freedom in the hands of users.
Jami supports the following key features:
- One-to-one conversations
- File sharing
- Audio/video calls and conferences
- Screen sharing in video calls and conferences
- Recording and sending audio/video messages
- Functioning as a SIP phone software
Jami Taranis release highlights
-------------------------------
The highlights of the Taranis release of Jami include:
- Windows 11 support
- Phase one of Swarms: synchronized 1-to-1 conversations
- The first phase of Swarm support in Jami is now available
across all platforms.
- Swarms are fully distributed, peer-to-peer chats with conversation
histories synchronized across your devices, and the potential to
be expanded into group chats in upcoming future releases of Jami.
See our earlier article Swarm: a new generation of group
conversations[1] to learn more about Swarms.
- In the first phase of Swarm support, Swarms enable synchronization
of 1-to-1 conversations across multiple devices associated with
the same account. See the full release announcement linked above
for more details.
- Improvements to conferences and rendezvous points:
- fine-grained moderation tools for conferences,
such as 'moderator mute' and 'kick';
- 'raise hand' feature for indicating intention to speak; and
- enhanced screen-sharing now allowing sharing individual windows,
in addition to the already-available options of sharing the entire
desktop or a selected screen area.
- Read more about these enhancements and new features for
conferences and rendezvous points in our recent article
The Jami conferencing system[2].
- New Android call interface and improved mobile connectivity
