How to Install Jami (Ring) on Ubuntu 22.04 – Skype Alternative

Jami is an application that is used to send messages, make audio calls, share screens with your friends, and hold conferences. The Jami is an open-source application, and the calls/messages from the Jami are very much secure as all the calls/messages are end-to-end encrypted. Moreover, the Jami is peer-to-peer, which means the users are directly connected to each other without depending on any server.

The Jami package can be installed on different operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux distributions, in this write-up, we will explore different methods to install the Jami on Ubuntu.
