Instead of Apache OpenMeetings

Apache OpenMeetings alternatives

Apache OpenMeetings brings video conferencing together with instant messaging, multi-whiteboards, collaborative document editing, shared drives, calendars, and other groupware tools. Participants can choose audio, video, or picture-only modes, adjust quality and devices, share a desktop or window, and record sessions for MP4 download. Its calendar invites internal or external attendees by email, while REST and SOAP APIs, directory connectors, and VoIP/Asterisk modules support broader deployments. The software is free and open source, with web, mobile, desktop, API, and self-hosted availability.

The trade-off is deployment responsibility. Installation requires a server, Java 21, and Kurento Media Server; guidance recommends 8 GB of RAM. Image uploads, document imports, and recording can require additional components. OpenMeetings has no paid plans or usage limits stated, and no free trial. An alternative may suit you better if you want a hosted service, a different participant capacity, specialized integrations, or focused meeting features. Compare those priorities with OpenMeetings’ whiteboards, document tools, file storage, calendar, APIs, and self-hosting control.
