Galene

High quality libre videoconferencing server

Galene is a complete self-hosted videoconferencing system that has been designed to be easy to install and to manage, to preserve the users' privacy, and that uses very moderate server resources. Galene has been continuously used in production to host university lectures and staff meetings since September 2020, as well as to host a number of international conferences during the COVID pandemic. The goal of this project is to improve Galene to make it use state-of-the-art networking and video algorithms, to improve its management features, and to add a number of user-visible features, such as background blur and automatic subtitling.
