What is meet?

What it is

La Suite Meet is an open-source video-conferencing application powered by LiveKit and built with Django and React. It lives in the open-source WebRTC and collaboration-software ecosystem, and it is released under the MIT License. The project provides browser-based meetings without a required installation, and its public instances are used inside French public administration.

The concrete problem it solves is self-hosted video conferencing for organizations that need control over meeting infrastructure. It targets large meetings, screen sharing, chat, recording, transcription, telephony, and access control, while relying on LiveKit for media handling. The project is also described as a Zoom alternative in public deployment, and it aims to give operators a self-hostable option.

Key capabilities

  • It is optimized for stability in large meetings with more than 100 participants.
  • It supports multiple screen-sharing streams during a meeting.
  • It provides non-persistent, secure chat for meeting communication.
  • It supports meeting recording, meeting transcription, and summary generation, with transcription and summary marked as beta.
  • It includes telephony integration and secure participation through authentication and access control.
  • It uses LiveKit advances such as speaker detection, simulcast, selective subscription, and SVC codecs VP9 and AV1.
  • It allows a customizable frontend style for hosted deployments.

Who uses it and how

  • French public agents working for central administration use visio.numerique.gouv.fr, and ProConnect is required for login or sign-up.
  • French public agents working for territorial administration use visio.suite.anct.gouv.fr, also with ProConnect required for login or sign-up.
  • lasuite.coop provides a free and open demo instance, with content and accounts reset after one month.
  • The production instance uses Kubernetes, while other supported or community deployment methods include Docker Compose, Nix, and YunoHost.
  • Users join calls directly from a browser, without a required installation step.

Getting started

Self-hosters can start with Kubernetes or Docker Compose, and community methods such as Nix and YunoHost are also mentioned. Hosted entry points include visio.numerique.gouv.fr, visio.suite.anct.gouv.fr, visio.lasuite.coop, and mosa.cloud.

When to use it — and when not to

It suits organizations that want a self-hostable LiveKit-based meeting app in the Django and React ecosystem, especially when browser access, large-meeting stability, screen sharing, chat, recording, and access control are needed. It is less suitable when detailed operational documentation for advanced features is required, because recording and transcription documentation is noted as incomplete, transcription and summary are beta, and end-to-end encryption is listed as coming soon. Self-hosters must operate the Meet application and the LiveKit media stack, using Kubernetes, Docker Compose, or another supported method, and should expect to consult LiveKit documentation while project-specific documentation is still being developed.

Docs

We're currently working on both technical and user documentation for La Suite Meet. In the meantime, many of the essential aspects are already well covered by the LiveKit documentation and their self-hosting guide. Stay tuned for more updates!

Self-host

La Suite Meet is easy to install on your own servers

We use Kubernetes for our production instance but also support Docker Compose. The community contributed a couple other methods (Nix, YunoHost etc.) check out the docs to get detailed instructions and examples.

[!NOTE] Some advanced features (ex: recording, transcription) lack detailed documentation. We're working hard to provide comprehensive guides soon.

Contributing

We <3 contributions of all kinds big or small and we’re genuinely glad you’re here. 🌱

Start by saying hi

The best first contribution is simply to come say hi.

Before opening a PR, especially a larger one, or one written with the help of AI, we encourage you to reach out to a maintainer on our Matrix channel (@antoine.lebaud:matrix.org).

Getting in touch early helps us align on goals, avoid duplicated or wasted effort, and build a community that stays active, welcoming, and fun to be part of. There are no silly questions here: whether you’ve shipped hundreds of PRs or you’re just getting started, you’re welcome.

AI contributions

AI-assisted contributions are welcome. But code is never the end goal. What matters most is building relationships, sharing knowledge, and growing a sustainable community over time.

If your contribution has been heavily generated with AI, please be transparent about it. This helps maintainers review it with the right context and respects the time they invest in the project.

Using AI does not transfer ownership of the contribution: you should still fully understand the code, the problem it solves, and the reasoning behind the approach you propose. In short, even if AI helped write it, the why should still be yours.

Contributions beyond code

Not technical? We need you too. Open source is much more than code. Writing documentation, improving onboarding, translating content, answering questions, repo
