Multiple JVB instances for 1 Meeting

knimer · April 14, 2023, 10:19pm

Hello,

I am trying to install Jitsi for an NGO that requires an online meetings platform with recording and whiteboard. Which are now native features of Jitsi.

Given the requirements are for meetings that can be 1-to-1 up to 1,0000 participants. But almost always, 1 meeting at a time.

How can I configure the setup to use multiple JVB’s for the same meeting?

What I was able to understand is that I can use 1 JVB for 1 meeting… is this correct? If not, what did I miss?

Thanks
K

Welcome to the forum.

For this, you need to implement Octo.

# Setting up relays (cascaded bridges)

### Relays
Relays (aka secure octo) use ICE and DTLS/SRTP between each pair of bridges, so a secure
network is not required. It uses and requires either SCTP or colibri websockets for the
bridge-bridge connections.

## Jitsi Videobridge configuration

### Relay configuration
Relays can be configured with the following properties in `/etc/jitsi/videobridge/jvb.conf` (also see
[reference.conf](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-videobridge/blob/master/jvb/src/main/resources/reference.conf#L132)).
```
  videobridge {
    relay {
      enabled=true
      region="region1"
      relay-id="unique-id-of-the-jitsi-videobridge-instance"
    }
  }

Thank you so much.

I will take a look and come back with findings or more questions.
