Jami plugins

Jami is a universal communication system, meaning it can be used by anyone, anywhere. Jami plugin system provides to our community of developers the tools to contribute to the rise of Jami by transforming any ideas to real features. Plugins can be used to modify a video stream or an audio without having to be familiar with the complexity of Jami. What makes Jami’s plugins unique is that all processing is done directly on the users’ device removing the need to rely and share users data with any third-party.

Plugins are available on Linux, Windows, MacOS and Android.

1. Modify your background with the Greenscreen plugin

The first available plugin is named "Greenscreen" and allows you to modify your background during a videocall or add a blur effect.

2. Add a Watermark to your video

You can now add a Watermark including your own logo and additional information such as a text, the current date and time to your video.

3. Apply a reverb filter to your video

After many requests from the community, we decided to provide a reverb plugin so that musicians can use Jami for online music sessions and play music with their friends online. The reverb plugin includes three different effects:

• "Genesis 6 Studio - Live Room Drum Set Up",
• "Jack Lions Concert Hall - University of York",
• "St. Patrick’s Church - Patrington"

4. Automatic real-time subtitles with Whisper

Use an AI model running locally on your device to automatically subtitle the conversation in real time!

How to enable the plugins?
