Jitsi Meet Video Conferencing Server on Ubuntu 24.04
Secure, simple and scalable video conferences on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Jitsi Meet is an open source (Apache licensed) WebRTC application that uses the Jitsi Videobridge to deliver high quality, secure and scalable video meetings. A privacy friendly alternative to Zoom, it runs entirely in the browser so participants can join in seconds with no software to install and no account to create.
The Jitsi Meet client runs in your web browser, without installing anything else on your computer. It enables very efficient collaboration, letting users share their full desktop or only selected windows, and it supports shared document editing with Etherpad.

Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
If you are an AWS Free Tier customer with a free plan, you are eligible to subscribe to this offer. You can use free credits to cover the cost of eligible AWS infrastructure. See AWS Free Tier for more details. If you created an AWS account before July 15th, 2025, and qualify for the Legacy AWS Free Tier, Amazon EC2 charges for Micro instances are free for up to 750 hours per month. See Legacy AWS Free Tier for more details.
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance type you pick to run the Jitsi Meet server on Ubuntu. Each dimension maps to a specific AWS instance size, so pricing scales with the compute, memory, and specialized resources you choose. Smaller instances like t3.nano suit light testing, while larger memory-optimized (r5), compute-optimized (c5), storage (i3), and GPU/accelerated (p3, g4dn, inf1) instances handle heavier video conferencing loads. You are billed only for the hours the chosen instance runs. There are no tiers or feature packages; the software is the same across all instances.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What does one billing unit cover, and what runs on the instance I pick?
Each unit is one hour of a single running EC2 instance of the type you choose. That instance runs the Jitsi Meet video conferencing server on Ubuntu. The instance size sets your compute, memory, and any GPU resources. You pay for each hour the instance is active.
Am I charged when the instance is stopped or paused?
Software charges meter running hours only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue hourly software fees. Underlying AWS storage costs, such as attached disk volumes, may still apply while the instance is stopped. To stop all software billing, terminate the instance rather than leaving it running.
If I need more capacity for larger meetings, do I upgrade automatically or switch instances?
There is no automatic tier upgrade. To add capacity, you move to a different instance type from the list, such as a memory-optimized or compute-optimized size. The software stays the same; only the underlying instance changes. Your hourly rate then reflects the new instance you select.
