Meet Plugin
This plugin is based on the Jitsi platform.
The Meet Plugin allows you to create, schedule, and join meetings directly from your AVideo platform. Once enabled, a Meet button will appear on the top menu, providing access to the Meet page, where you can manage meetings, start live streams, and more.
Once the plugin is enabled, you can create a meeting by:
- Clicking the Meet button on the top menu, which will redirect you to the Meet Page.
- On the Meet Page, you can either:
- Create a new meet instantly by clicking the New Meet tab.
- Schedule a future meet by using the Schedule tab.
If you are the meet owner and have the necessary live streaming permissions, you will see the Start Livestream button. This allows you to broadcast the meet live using your livestream configurations (Premium Servers Only).
Sharing a meeting link is straightforward:
- Option 1: Copy the meeting link directly from the meeting panel.
- Option 2: Copy the URL from your browser’s address bar.
If a user is not logged in, they will be prompted to enter their name before joining the meeting. If they are logged in, their site profile name and photo will be automatically used in the meeting.
Clicking the Meet button will take you to the Meet Page, where you can manage your meetings.
On the Meet Page, you can check the status of your server to see if it is ready to host meetings. If needed, you can switch to another server directly from this button.
This section displays:
- Upcoming Meetings: Meetings that you have scheduled or can attend.
- New Meet Tab: Create a new meet instantly.
- Schedule Tab: Schedule a meet for the future.
You can use your webcam to broadcast live directly from the meet:
- Simply start your webcam, and then you can share either the Live Link or the Meet Link with others.
This feature requires the Livestream Service to enable live broadcasting.
The plugin allows you to host meetings on either custom servers or our Premium servers.

With Premium Servers, you don’t need to install Jitsi yourself. You can switch between servers for better performance, and we currently offer servers in North America and Europe, with more regions to be added soon.
- All the features of your own Jitsi installation.
- Ability to broadcast live directly to your AVideo platform.
Check Meet limits here:
With free/public servers, you can host unlimited meetings. However, some restrictions apply:
- Maximum participants per meet: Default is 30 participants.
- Streamer services: Default allows 1 simultaneous livestreaming service.
- Livestream time limit: Default is 30 minutes per livestream.
If you’re using free servers, there may be a 2-minute wait time if the server has to restart after being inactive.
We offer two Premium Server packages:
- $100/month: Use your own server.
- $120/month: Use our managed server.
Both packages allow unlimited meetings without wait times, limited only by the server’s hardware capacity.
If you prefer to use your own Jitsi installation, we support it through Jitsi Docker. You can follow this tutorial to set up your custom Jitsi environment.
