School is closed, but class isn't. Classrooms and play-from-home groups urgently need a solution for parents/teachers. What I'm looking for is a solution for classrooms or other activities for tweens (think 4th graders). I need to be able to limit the users to only those who are authorized, but leave the rooms open for joining/exiting much like a chat server. Jitsi itself is great for that except there is no white-list authorization and that I'd have to host it myself (the free host is overburdened). I think you're targeting a different use case, but schools and parents everwhere need a classroom solution urgently.


Hey, thanks for you comments. The idea behind yameeting it's the "Ninja Mode" where you have disposable VM's to reduce costs and help to prevent intrusions on the servers where the meetings are taking place.

You can't limit who enters the room using a whitelist with the out-of-the-box jitisi installation but since it's using XMPP you can have that functionality.

I'm pretty sure there are solutions out there that focus on those features.

If you want more information or help with this just contact me hello at yameeting.com
