Jitsi size limit for single conference

swathikrishna_guru · December 8, 2020, 4:45pm

I am raising this since I did not find a proper answer in the forum.

What is the limit of participants in single conference ( keeping the end user browser limit)
Do I need to have octo configured for bigger conference like 200+ or Normal single JVB with high CPU and Memory will be enough for it.?
What do you suggest if I need to have 250 users in single conference.?

Regards
Swathi

Our official answer is 100 participants, although there are reports in the community for successful conferences with 150 participants. And for such big conferences, you need octo, just a single bridge will not work well.

Hi @damencho Can you also tell me what is the maximum number of participants with Octo? And is there any bottleneck with end user browser? Any documentation for Octo?

Yep, there is bottleneck with UI. So the number we recommend is 100. We are working on increasing that.

# Setting up Octo (cascaded bridges)

## Jitsi Videobridge
Add these properties to `/etc/jitsi/videobridge/sip-communicator.properties` to
enable support for Octo:
```
# the address to bind to locally
org.jitsi.videobridge.octo.BIND_ADDRESS=10.0.0.1
# the address to advertise (in case BIND_ADDRESS is not accessible)
org.jitsi.videobridge.octo.PUBLIC_ADDRESS=1.2.3.4
# the port to bind to
org.jitsi.videobridge.octo.BIND_PORT=4096
# the region that the jitsi-videobridge instance is in
org.jitsi.videobridge.REGION=region1
```

You need to make sure that all of the bridges can communicate via the socket
addresses described in the properties above, and that the network is secure.
