In the Meet page, you will find the options to create a new meet (instantly) or schedule one

While you are in a meet and if you are the meet owner and you have the right to live stream you will see the "Start Livestream Button". if you click on it, you will go live with your Live configurations (Premium Servers Only).

Premium Servers

If you use our Premium servers, you don't need to install Jitsi. You can switch servers here anytime you decide and see which server is best suited for your connection location. We currently have servers in North America and Europe and we are sure to grow soon

Benefits of premium servers

You will have all the benefits of your "own Jitsi installation", and you will also be able to broadcast live directly to your AVideo platform.

Make sure to check the Meet limits here

Image

Limits (free/public servers)

Maximum of participants on a meet (Default 30)

You can make unlimited meetings, but the maximum of participants on a meet can change depends on your plan

Quantity of streamer services (Default 1)

Streamer services are required to let you Livestream/Record your meet. That defines how many meetings you can live stream at the same time

Stream Services time limit (Default 30 minutes)

This defines how long your Live stream meet can be. after that time, the Livestream service will be interrupted.

In the future, we will release paid plans to allow you to upgrade/increase the limits

Premium Server Packages

To bring you more value, we offer two Premium Server packages. For $100/month, you can use your server. If you'd prefer to use our server, the package costs $120/month. Both packages offer unlimited access with no waiting time. The only limitation is the hardware capacity of the server.

Free/Public Servers

With free/public servers, you can hold unlimited meetings. However, due to CPU and memory usage, we may need to shut down your meet server when not in use. When you return, there may be a wait time of approximately 2 minutes while the server prepares to host your meeting again. This delay is not present with Premium servers.

Upgrade to a Premium server today for seamless, uninterrupted meetings, and say goodbye to wait times.

Live directly thru the Webcam

In addition, you can use your webcam to broadcast live and then decide whether to share the Livelink link or the Meet link with others.

This requires the Livestream Service to allow you to go live.
