End-to-end encryption
La Suite Meet supports end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for meetings, so the media server (LiveKit SFU) cannot read audio, video or screen-share content.
How it works
- Each encrypted meeting carries a 48-character hex passphrase appended to the URL hash (
#…) — 192 bits of entropy. The server never sees it; sharing the meeting link shares the key. - Frames are encrypted in the browser via LiveKit's Worker +
crypto.subtle(AES-GCM); only the media payload is encrypted, codec headers stay clear so the SFU can still packetize RTP. - The runtime "is this call encrypted?" decision keys off the URL hash, not the database flag. The DB column (
Room.encryption_mode) is only used as a sanity reference: if the URL hash and the server's claim disagree, the joining client surfaces an explicit mismatch screen instead of silently joining in clear or in a private encrypted bubble.
Threat model. "Server doesn't see plaintext" — not "users are safe from a malicious server." A compromised server could still serve modified JavaScript to a participant, who would then leak their passphrase. The E2EE story protects the media path against a passive or compromised SFU, not against a fully compromised origin.
Encryption mode is set at creation, immutable after
Room.encryption_mode is a string enum (none / basic) chosen when the room is created and never mutated afterwards — changing it would change the link's semantics, since the passphrase lives in the URL hash. There is no mid-call "pause encryption" mechanism: while a meeting is encrypted, recording and transcription endpoints reject requests with a 400 (Recording is unavailable in encrypted rooms. / Subtitles are unavailable in encrypted rooms.), the More-tools panel renders those items disabled with an explanatory banner, and the SIP gateway never gets a dispatch rule for encrypted rooms (so dial-in numbers and PINs aren't allocated). Encrypted rooms are also force-locked to restricted access level (lobby admission), since basic E2EE only meaningfully protects against passive eavesdropping if the host vets joiners before they receive the in-URL key.
Opt-in by user
End-to-end encryption is a per-user preference. In Settings, under the Security section, signed-in users can flip the End-to-end encryption toggle — once enabled, a third "Create an encrypted meeting" entry appears in the home-page create-menu (with its own confirmation modal that lists the disabled features and a "Treat this link like a password" connection-details dialog before the meeting starts). Joining is unaffected by the toggle: any participant clicking a meeting link that carries a valid hash joins encrypted, regardless of their own setting. Authenticated joiners of encrypted rooms cannot edit their displayed name — the server enforces the OIDC name on the JWT.
Configuration
ENCRYPTION_ENABLED=true
Setting ENCRYPTION_ENABLED=false rejects encrypted-room creation at the API level. Existing encrypted rooms stay encrypted (the mode is immutable), but no new ones can be created.
La Suite Meet is fully self-hostable and released under the MIT License, ensuring complete control and flexibility. It's simple to get started or request a demo.
We’re continuously adding new features to enhance your experience, with the latest updates coming soon!
🚀 Major roll out to all French public servants

Get started
Docs
We're currently working on both technical and user documentation for La Suite Meet. In the meantime, many of the essential aspects are already well covered by the LiveKit documentation and their self-hosting guide. Stay tuned for more updates!
Self-host
La Suite Meet is easy to install on your own servers
We use Kubernetes for our production instance but also support Docker Compose. The community contributed a couple other methods (Nix, YunoHost etc.) check out the docs to get detailed instructions and examples.
Questions? Open an issue on GitHub or join our Matrix community.
Note
Some advanced features (ex: recording, transcription) lack detailed documentation. We're working hard to provide comprehensive guides soon.

Philosophy
We’re relentlessly focused on building the best open-source video conferencing product—La Suite Meet. Growth comes from creating something people truly need, not just from chasing metrics.
Our users come first. We’re committed to making La Suite Meet as accessible and easy to use as proprietary solutions, ensuring it meets the highest standards.
Most of the heavy engineering is handled by the incredible LiveKit team, allowing us to focus on delivering a top-tier product. We follow extreme programming practices, favoring pair programming and quick, iterative releases. Challenge our tech and architecture—simplicity is always our top priority.
Open-source
Gov 🇫🇷 supports open source! This project is available under MIT license.
All features we develop will always remain open-source, and we are committed to contributing back to the LiveKit community whenever feasible. To learn more, don't hesitate to reach out.
