TrueConf

What TrueConf is

TrueConf Server brings video meetings, messaging, webinars, and collaboration tools into a self-hosted platform. Organizations can run it on premises inside a corporate network, including without an internet connection. Eligible licenses support conferences of up to 2,000 participants, while the perpetual free edition supports up to 10 participants, 1,000 messaging users, one guest connection, and one SIP/H.323 connection. Teams can use chats, file and content sharing, screen sharing, recordings, polls, reactions, and conference scheduling. Listed integrations include Active Directory and LDAP, SSO, SIP/H.323 systems, calendars, APIs, and SDKs; users can also call PBX subscribers through client applications. The maker describes AI features for noise reduction, background blurring or replacement, and meeting transcription and summarization. Security options listed include MFA, trusted zones, and Enterprise DLP integration. TrueConf Server Free costs nothing; the Server plan costs $10 a year per user, with advanced features depending on the purchased license. It is listed for web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, as well as API and self-hosted use.
