## Change your call 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 call provider. The call providers
|
|
supported by Zulip are:
|
|
|
|
* [Jitsi Meet](/integrations/doc/jitsi)
|
|
* [Zoom integration](/integrations/doc/zoom)
|
|
* [BigBlueButton integration](/integrations/doc/big-blue-button)
|
|
|
|
If you choose BigBlueButton as the call provider, there will be a single button
|
|
(<i class="fa fa-video-camera"></i>) for starting a call. The call is initiated
|
|
with cameras turned off.
|
|
|
|
!!! tip ""
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to disable the video and voice call buttons for your organization
|
|
by setting the provider to "None".
|
|
|
|
### Change your organization's call provider
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}

|
|
|
{settings_tab|organization-settings}
|
|
|

|
|

{end_tabs}

|
|
### Use a self-hosted instance of Jitsi Meet
|
|
|
|
Zulip uses the [cloud version of Jitsi Meet](https://meet.jit.si/)
|
|
as its default call provider. You can also use a self-hosted
|
|
instance of Jitsi Meet.
|
|
|
|

|
|
{settings_tab|organization-settings}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Other settings**, select **Custom URL** from the
|
|
**Jitsi server URL** dropdown.
|
|
|
|
1. Enter the URL of your self-hosted Jitsi Meet server.
