Something that isn't mentioned in the docs is room (and server) capacity, or at least rough estimates.

The Jitsi team gave some specific numbers on room capacity in the forums. Each room should reliably handle 20-35 Chrome users (Firefox uses roughly double the resources), and has a cap at 75. Apparently if you're only using audio, then rooms of 70+ people will work fine.

They're working on upping this number to 500 for configurations that have multiple bridges, as well as improving the UI to account for larger meetings.




Where does the difference between Chrome and Firefox come from? Is Firefox using a different video format?




Unfortunately from my experience, Jitsi does not reliably handle 20-35 users


Any Firefox users among those?
