Live videoconferencing without a single vendor room graph. Schools, associations, and crews still default to Zoom, Teams, or Google Meet because the invite works — and because attendance, cloud recording, and identity ride that vendor’s session log. Privacy by Default for a call means you can host the room, set lobby and recording policy, and leave without migrating calendars and retention together. This is a Video theme page: open stacks you can run, closed defaults as contrast, and a project that hardens the webcam path. The AI dossier also lists Video chat privacy; Meet stays autonomous here.

Self-hostable stacks people actually run for multiparty rooms and classrooms, beside the closed products that still dominate invites.

	Jitsi Meet is a self-hostable WebRTC stack for multiparty video rooms — run the MCU yourself, set recording and lobby policy, and leave without a vendor attendance graph.
	BigBlueButton is a FLOSS virtual classroom: whiteboard, breakouts, and recordings on infrastructure schools or communities operate — not a SaaS lecture cloud.
	Zoom is the common closed default for meetings and webinars: attendance, cloud recording, and identity sit on Zoom’s infrastructure unless you pay for tightly scoped on-prem variants.
	Microsoft Teams ties calls to the Microsoft 365 identity and compliance stack — convenient inside that tenancy, hard to leave without migrating calendars, chat, and recording retention together.
	Google Meet is Google’s browser meeting product: rooms ride Workspace accounts and Google’s session graph — Privacy by Default means choosing a host you can inspect instead.
