This is a really cool project! [PLEASE READ]

You guys somehow managed to host what is basically Jitsi Meet on a static website server like GitHub Pages.

I would love to know how that's even possible, and why the main Jitsi Meet project doesn't do something similar instead of having to run a full blown server to host Jitsi.

I feel like this repo deserves a lot more attention!

Thanks for the kind words 👍

I would love to know how that's even possible, and why the main Jitsi Meet project doesn't do something similar instead of having to run a full blown server to host Jitsi.

In the first version of jitsi-meet, we used to be able to change how it got the room name.

I modified it use a query parameter (https://server?room=xxx) in JavaScript instead of a pathname (https://server/xxx) that requires server-side code.
