## Change your video chat provider
By default, Zulip integrates with
[Jitsi Meet](https://jitsi.org/jitsi-meet/), a fully-encrypted, 100% open
source video conferencing solution. Organization administrators can also
change the organization's video chat provider.
### Change your organization's video chat provider
{start_tabs}
{tab|jitsi-meet}
Zulip's default video chat provider is [Jitsi
Meet](https://meet.jit.si/).
You can also use Zulip with Jitsi Meet on-premise; to configure this,
just set `JITSI_SERVER_URL` in `/etc/zulip/settings.py`.
{tab|bigbluebutton}
In order to use Big Blue Button as the video call provider, you need
to first configure the `BIG_BLUE_BUTTON_URL` setting in
`/etc/zulip/settings.py`.
{tab|zoom}
Zulip supports Zoom as the video chat provider using an OAuth
integration. You can set it up as follows:
{settings_tab|organization-settings}
1. Under **Other settings** set **Video chat provider** to **Zoom**.
1. Click **Save changes**.
Any user who creates a video call link using the instructions above
will be prompted to link a Zoom account with their Zulip account.
If you would like to unlink Zoom from your Zulip account:
1. Log in to the [Zoom App Marketplace](https://marketplace.zoom.us/).
1. Click **Manage****Installed Apps**.
1. Click the **Uninstall** button next to the Zulip app.
If you are self-hosting, you will need to [create a Zoom
application][zoom-configuration] to use this integration.
{tab|disable}
You can also disable the video call button for your organization by
setting the provider to "None".
