Jitsi introduced the Videobridge in 2013 to support multiparty video calling with its Jitsi clients using a new Selective Forwarding Unit (SFU) architecture. This name originates from the Bulgarian ' жици' ( wires). In 2011, after successfully adding support for audio/video communication over XMPP's Jingle extensions, the project was renamed to Jitsi since it was no longer 'a SIP only Communicator'. In 2009, Emil Ivov founded the BlueJimp company which has employed some of Jitsi's main contributors in order to offer professional support and development services related to the project. It was originally released as an example video phone in the JAIN-SIP stack and later spun off as a standalone project. Work on Jitsi (then SIP Communicator) started in 2003 in the context of a student project by Emil Ivov at the University of Strasbourg. Jitsi has received support from various institutions such as the NLnet Foundation, the University of Strasbourg and the Region of Alsace, the European Commission and it has also had multiple participations in the Google Summer of Code program. Other projects include: Jigasi, lib-jitsi-meet, Jidesha, and Jitsi. Jitsi also operates, a version of Jitsi Meet hosted by Jitsi for free community use. Later the team added Jitsi Meet, a full video conferencing application that includes web, Android, and iOS clients. With the growth of WebRTC, the project team focus shifted to the Jitsi Videobridge for allowing web-based multi-party video calling. The Jitsi project began with the Jitsi Desktop (previously known as SIP Communicator). Jitsi is a collection of free and open-source multiplatform voice (VoIP), video conferencing and instant messaging applications for the web platform, Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android.
