JITSI MEET Jitsi Meet is a free, open source solution for telephone and video conferences with two or more participants. Registration is not necessary. Jitsi Meet works directly in a web browser or via Android/iOS app. Numerous publicly accessible installations can be used for that. Furthermore, Jitsi Meet can be installed on a personal server to stay in control of all data. A Jitsi Meet installation is provided by the German Federal Youth Council (DBJR): Jitsi Meet DBJR . Here, the tool is hosted on German servers and thus complies with the GDPR, unlike the standard Jitsi servers in the USA. The installation can be used with the Jitsi Meet app. DISCORD Discord is a communication platform where participants can interact on various channels via voice and text chat. Discord actually originated in the gaming com - munity, but is now used more and more in other settings. Use of Discord is free. Users can create an account or even open their own server in just a few clicks. A server here roughly equates to a group chat in a messenger service. Unlike WhatsApp, further group chats (called “channels” in Discord) can be created within a group chat. Discord is an instant messaging, chat, and telephone and video conference app which can be used on mobile end devices (smartphone, tablet) and on computers. Find out more about Discord in the Streaming section „Streaming“ ( k p. 52), and about the use of Discord in a workshop in “Film-making workshop during the Coronavirus pandemic: the NUFF 2020 online workshop” ( k p. 22 ).
