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
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
You can make unlimited meetings, but the maximum of participants on a meet can change depends on your plan
Streamer services are required to let you Livestream/Record your meet. That defines how many meetings you can live stream at the same time
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
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 make the livestream.
To use your own Jitsi, you must edit your plugin parameters and, in the server, select the Custom Jitsi Option
You will also need the following parameters:
- CUSTOM_JITSI_DOMAIN: the domain name of the Jitsi installation
- JWT_APP_ID and JWT_APP_SECRET: [JWT configuration is required] (https://github.com/jitsi/lib-jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/tokens.md#installing-token-plugin) to allow us to control your know access. Without it, AVideo cannot control who can connect and who cannot.
For example, we have an example of Jitsi here https://jitsi.eu1.ypt.me/, so our CUSTOM_JITSI_DOMAIN is jitsi.eu1.ypt.me.
Remember, in order to use the camera, your domain MUST BE in https.
Our installation was done using [Jitsi Docker] (https://github.com/jitsi/docker-jitsi-meet), what I can say was a very easy installation.
