# Video call providers
This page documents the server-level configuration required to support
non-default [video call integration
options](https://zulip.com/help/start-a-call) on a self-hosted Zulip
server.
Zulip makes it convenient to [start a
call](https://zulip.com/help/start-a-call) with the click of a button, using the
call provider of your choice. The call providers
supported by Zulip are:
- [Jitsi Meet](https://zulip.com/integrations/doc/jitsi), a fully-encrypted,
100% open source video conferencing solution.
- [Zoom](https://zulip.com/integrations/doc/zoom)
- [BigBlueButton](https://zulip.com/integrations/doc/big-blue-button)
By default, Zulip uses the [cloud version of Jitsi Meet](https://meet.jit.si/)
as its call provider. This page documents the configurations required to support
other [video call integration options](https://zulip.com/help/start-a-call) on a
self-hosted Zulip server.
:::{note}
It is possible to disable the video and voice call buttons for your
organization by [setting the call
provider](https://zulip.com/help/start-a-call#change-your-organizations-call-provider)
to "None".
