Kaigi
Kaigi is FreeGateway’s secure, self-hosted video conferencing project. It combines the mediasoup media engine with the MiroTalk conferencing interface, hardened to meet FreeGateway’s privacy, security and digital sovereignty requirements. Like all FreeGateway projects, it runs on FreeBSD.
No third-party connections
Kaigi removes external third-party service connections, including Google Translate and cloud-based AI integrations. Browser libraries, translations and other resources are served locally. An enforced browser resource policy further restricts connections and resource loading to the organization-controlled platform.
Sign in with Kojo’s user database
An integrated LDAP client allows Kaigi to authenticate users against the OpenLDAP-based user database that underpins Kojo, FreeGateway’s email system project. LDAP group membership determines which meetings each user may access.
Additional protections
- Server-side meeting authorization.
- Revocable sessions, with inactivity and maximum-session limits.
- Separate cryptographic keys for different token purposes.
- Meeting identifiers kept out of shared URLs.
- Localized display names kept separate from authorization keys.
- Administrators can prohibit built-in recording for selected meetings.
- Unsaved annotation text stays private until the user chooses to share it.
Kaigi brings these measures together to provide practical video conferencing under the organization’s own control.
About the name
Kaigi (会議) is the Japanese word for “conference” or “meeting”, a straightforward name for what the project provides: video conferencing.
