Jitsi is a free open-source videoconferencing system we use to conduct meetings and many events and classes as hybrid events both in-person at the space and streaming for remote participants.

Click a link below to join online!

Streaming instructions are part of our Event Support guidelines.
Streaming is not a requirement at Noisebridge (it was blocked as a consensus item 6/2020), so you may need to advocate for an event to be streamed and/or try to get technical support issues solved.

If you want to see more events and classes streamed, please speak up at the Tuesday meetings and ask Event Support volunteers to assist event hosts in streaming successfully. Do-ocracy!

RELATED: Some events or conversations like Machine Learning and Gamebridge are also held on Discord.

Starting a meeting on Jitsi[edit]

The first person to join one of our meeting rooms on Jitsi Meet must log in with Google, Facebook, or GitHub in order to start the meeting. This is a Jitsi Meet policy change as of August 2023; the only way around it is to self-host our own Jitsi instance.

Once someone logs in with their Google, Facebook, or GitHub account and starts the meeting, other people can join anonymously, even after the person who started the meeting has left. So you can start the meeting and then leave as soon as at least one other person has arrived; their presence alone will hold the metaphorical gate open.

Rooms[edit]

There are a few regular and persistent rooms regularly on-line. Any room can be created by just specifying a web path to your name of choice, or by entering any value in to the form on the home page and pressing "Start Meeting"

Hackitorium[edit]

On-line via the Telebridge station whenever people want to be visible with a feed of the Noise_Square_Table from inside 272 Capp St. Weekly meetings are held here Tuesday nights, and there is regular To-Doocratic Thursday Eve.

Noisebridge Jitsi Server Self-Hosted Rooms[edit]

Noisebridge's https://jitsi.noisebridge.io Jitsi server is offline at the moment so we are using the free public Jitsi hosted rooms instead till these get fixed:
