What it is

Tips & operations
- TURN server is essential — most participants behind NAT need TURN to connect
- Bandwidth-heavy — video conferencing needs significant uplink bandwidth
- JWT auth recommended — without it, anyone with the URL can join
- Recording = extra resources — Jibri runs full headless Chrome per recording
- Mind scaling — single-server Jitsi handles ~50 concurrent; need JVB cluster beyond
- Backup config — recordings should be archived; rest is stateless
