What is La Suite Meet?

La Suite Meet is an open-source video conferencing application developed by DINUM (Direction interministérielle du numérique), the French government's digital agency. It powers Visio, the official video conferencing platform deployed to all French public servants.

Built on top of LiveKit, Meet delivers Zoom-level performance — high-quality, low-latency audio and video — entirely from the browser. No plugin or client installation required.

Why Meet?

Most video conferencing solutions are either proprietary (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet) or open-source but difficult to self-host (Jitsi, BigBlueButton). Meet aims to be the best of both worlds:

  • Production-grade quality — used at national scale by millions of French public servants
  • Fully open source — MIT license, all features remain open
  • Self-hostable — Docker Compose for small deployments, Kubernetes for production scale
  • No vendor lock-in — you own your data, your infrastructure, your instance

Key technical advantages

Meet inherits all of LiveKit's media optimizations:

  • Simulcast — clients send multiple video quality levels simultaneously; the server forwards only what each receiver can handle
  • SVC codecs — VP9 and AV1 with spatial and temporal scalability
  • Selective subscription — participants only receive streams they are viewing
  • Speaker detection — automatic camera focus on the active speaker
  • End-to-end optimizations — adaptive bitrate, packet loss recovery, jitter buffering
