New server install doesn't show video/audio

Install & Config
#1

I just installed a new meet server on Debian, and while it runs and shows my video, it does not show another jitser’s audio or video when they join. It is connected and they can raise their hand, etc, but now video.
What am I doing wrong?
It is an AWS/LightSail server w/ 4 CUPS and 16GM memory

#2

Check your firewall settings, make sure the necessary ports and open and forwarded appropriately, if behind a NAT. Check port 10000/udp especially.

#3

I don’t think I’m behind a NAT. Here’s how they are set:

80/tcp (Nginx HTTP)        ALLOW IN    Anywhere                  
443/tcp (Nginx HTTPS)      ALLOW IN    Anywhere                  
80/tcp                     ALLOW IN    Anywhere                  
443/tcp                    ALLOW IN    Anywhere                  
10000/udp                  ALLOW IN    Anywhere                  
22/tcp                     ALLOW IN    Anywhere                  
3478/udp                   ALLOW IN    Anywhere                  
5349/tcp                   ALLOW IN    Anywhere

it returned:

U 207.154.243.197:37227 -> 172.26.11.180:10000 #1
  it-is-accessible.

So I guess it is indeed accessible…

How did you install? What guide did you use?

Can you paste the JVB config too. Mask the secret before paste

cat /etc/jitsi/videobridge/sip-communicator.properties

Does this happens for 1 on 1 or 3 users and up ?
If it happens on 1 on 1 it’s supposed to be peer to peer. If it doesn’t work on p2p then there’s probably a configuration issue

#10

does the same in either mode. 1:1 or 3 people

#11

I followed the directions in “Self-Hosting Guide - Debian/Ubuntu server”

Done it a couple of times

#12

What about the services status

systemctl status prosody
systemctl status jicofo
systemctl status jitsi-videobridge2
#13

#14

Are you sure there is no connectivity issue on the client side while connecting to the server through UDP/10000

#15

how would I find if that is so?

#16

I’m calling it from the browser to the server, bur it does the same when embedded in my app

#17

Check the browser console logs or try to connect from a different network (for example via mobile)

#18

Same thing from mobile

#19

/is the error in one of your tests:

portmanager: Error binding encrypted port f

important?

#20

I facing the same issue here, I’m not able to figure out :frowning: I checked all config and ports I didn’t found anything missing. for my case this not happens for all participants.
