Jami is a telecommunications platform for peer-to-peer and distributed videotelephony, videoconferencing, and voice calls. Jami is free and open-source software released under the GNU GPL-3.0-or-later.
In December 2004, Savoir-faire Linux launched the SFLPhone project.
In November 2009, CIO magazine listed SFLphone among the top five open-source VoIP softphones to watch.
In May 2015, SFLphone was renamed to Ring.
In December 2018, Ring was renamed to Jami to avoid confusion with commercial products also using the English term Ring.
In 2025, TechRadar listed it as one alternative to Skype following its discontinuation.
Available features depend on both the Jami client and the platform used.
Usernames are stored on a private Ethereum blockchain administered centrally by Jami.
