In such scenarios, a TURN Server is required. So we have understood what is Jitsi Meet, why it first tries to establish a peer-to-peer connection.īut often times the clients are not able to connect directly with each other to transmit the data, because the clients are behind a restrictive firewall.
Typically web services work in a Client-Server manner, where the client sends all the traffic to the server, and the server forwards the traffic to other clients.īut in a peer-to-peer connection the clients directly send the data to other clients without requiring a server in the middle. Peer to Peer connection means, all the participants in the meeting will send the audio+video feed directly to each other.
Jitsi meet uses WebRTC protocol for communication between the participants, and Jitsi Meet first tries to establish first a peer to peer connect between the participants. Jitsi Meet is an open-source video conferencing solution, that allows the participants to have a video call with each other. If you are reading this Guide then you must be familiar with Jitsi meet. We will learn which config file to update, to add the TURN Server configuration and I will also show you from where you can obtain the TURN Server credentials. In this guide we will go through the process of setting up optimal TURN Server configuration in Jitsi meet.
