Jitsi Meet Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

Jitsi Meet hosting on xCloud gives you self-hosted video conferencing on your own domain, with a generated host login so strangers cannot use your bandwidth to start meetings. Deploy Jitsi Meet from the OneClick catalog and xCloud starts the pinned web, prosody, jicofo and videobridge services, publishes the meeting page over HTTPS and keeps the host accounts on a persistent volume. You open the UDP media port in your own firewall.

What is Jitsi Meet?

Jitsi Meet is a set of open-source projects for deploying video conferencing, and self-hosted Jitsi Meet is a self-hosted video conferencing server you run yourself instead of renting seats on a service such as Zoom. Its README lists HD audio and video, content sharing, raise hand and reactions, chat, polls and virtual backgrounds, with mobile apps and browser access. It is released under the Apache 2.0 licence.

On xCloud this template deploys the stable-11248 release as four official images pinned by digest: web, prosody, jicofo and the videobridge. HTTPS is on your domain, and the prosody_data volume holds the host accounts. It is a singleton, one per server, because it owns the media port. Recording, SIP dial-in, Etherpad and the whiteboard are separate components and are not included.

From Sign-Up to a Live Jitsi Meet Install In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting video conferencing normally means four services, a host login, a UDP media port and a domain before a single meeting can start. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

Step 01
Sign Up
Create your xCloud account, pick Jitsi Meet from the OneClick catalog, and choose a domain. There are no extra fields — xCloud generates the host credentials.
Step 02
We Deploy It For You
One click. We bring up the pinned Jitsi Meet stable-11248 web, prosody, jicofo and videobridge images, create the host account, and publish the meeting page over HTTPS on your domain.
Step 03
Open Your Media Port And Start A Meeting
Save the Host Password shown in the protected installation credentials, open the UDP media port shown on that card in your own firewall, then enter a room name and sign in as the host to share the link with guests.

Everything Jitsi Meet Does, On Your Own Server

Jitsi Meet runs in full here — the same browser-based video conferencing as any hosted meeting service, on infrastructure you control.

HD Video, Screen Sharing And Chat
HD video, screen sharing, chat, raised hands, a lobby and end-to-end encrypted calls, all in the browser.
Guests Join With No Account
Guests join from a room link with no account; only the host login can start a room, so strangers can't use your bandwidth to host meetings.
Private Meetings On Your Own Domain
Host private team, client or community meetings on your own server and domain instead of a shared public service.
Four Services, Pre-Wired And Health-Checked
Web, prosody, jicofo and the video bridge are pre-wired and health-checked, with the meeting page served over xCloud-managed HTTPS.
Host Login Enforced
A wrong password is rejected, and guests only ever join rooms a host has already started.
Host Accounts Survive A Restart
Host accounts are stored on a persistent volume and survived a container restart in QA.

What You Can Do With Jitsi Meet

Hold private team meetings on your own domain
A team opens a room link on its own domain and meets in the browser, with only the host login able to start a room, rather than sharing a public meeting service with everyone.
Meet clients without asking them to sign up
A consultant or agency sends clients a room link. Guests join from the browser once the host has started the room, with no account to create and nothing to install.
Run community calls for a club or open-source group
A community organiser hosts regular calls on a server the group controls, with chat, screen sharing and polls, and a lobby to admit people when the room needs it.
Keep video bandwidth on a server you rent
An organisation that wants meeting traffic on infrastructure it chose, not a shared service, runs the videobridge on a dedicated Cloud VPS and decides when to upgrade.

Jitsi Meet vs Alternatives

Zoom: Zoom is a hosted meeting service. Jitsi Meet is open source under Apache 2.0, and on xCloud the web, signalling and videobridge services run on a server you rent, with a host login that decides who can start rooms.
Google Meet: Choosing between Google Meet and Jitsi Meet? With Jitsi Meet on your own domain, guests join from a link with no account, and only the host login can start a meeting.
BigBlueButton: BigBlueButton is a separate open-source conferencing system and a different server. This template runs Jitsi Meet, with no recording, dial-in or whiteboard included, so pick the one that matches your meeting style.
Microsoft Teams: Microsoft Teams is a hosted collaboration suite. Jitsi Meet covers meetings only, in the browser, and on this template runs as four services on a Cloud VPS you control.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

Brian Geovanny

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

Kevin Pineda

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud

Ed Ellingham

xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.

Dumitru Butucel

xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.

Waqar Ahmed

Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍

Rahul Singh

So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Massimo Villa

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.

Gerson El

I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.

Tony Lewis

I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.

Jared McDowell

I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently

Kevin Heinrichs

I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.

Dan Spinoza

Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Rahil Maknojia

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

xCloud gave me what no other hosting platform could: the flexibility of a VPS with the convenience of managed WordPress. As a solo founder running an entire business on one server, that combination is an important unfair advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Is Jitsi Meet free?

Yes. Jitsi Meet is open source under the Apache 2.0 licence, linked from this page at the pinned stable-11248 tag, and its Docker README calls it free with no account needed. xCloud bills for the Cloud VPS under it, not for Jitsi Meet, and there are no per-participant fees.

Can you self-host Jitsi Meet with Docker?

Yes, and this Jitsi Meet Docker hosting template does it for you: the official web, prosody, jicofo and jvb images, pinned by digest, run under Docker Compose on your own server rather than a Jitsi Meet cloud service. It is one install per server, because it owns the media port.

Which ports does Jitsi Meet need?

The meeting page and signalling use one HTTPS domain, proxied to port 8000. Media travels over one public UDP port, 10000 inside the container and published on an allocated host port shown on the credentials card. xCloud never opens firewall ports, so open that UDP port yourself.

Why is there no audio or video on my Jitsi server?

Almost always the UDP media port is closed in your firewall. Without it the page and chat work, but audio and video never reach participants. Open the port shown on the credentials card. Also check JVB_ADVERTISE_IPS if the internet reaches the server on a different address.

Configure firewall management

How do I require a login to start a Jitsi meeting?

It is already required. ENABLE_AUTH is 1 by default, so only the host login can start a room, and guests join once a host has started it. Setting ENABLE_AUTH to 0 lets anyone who opens the site start meetings on your bandwidth, so keep it on unless access is restricted another way.

How do I add users to Jitsi Meet?

HOST_USERNAME and HOST_PASSWORD are read only at install, so editing them later does nothing. To add another host, run prosodyctl register on the server inside the prosody container, as the environment notice shows. Guests need no account at all and join from the room link.

Does Jitsi Meet need a TURN server?

Not by default, and none is configured. Without one, participants behind a firewall that blocks UDP cannot send or receive media. If you need it, point TURN_HOST, TURN_PORT, TURN_TRANSPORT and TURN_CREDENTIALS at your own relay in the Environment editor and redeploy.

How much RAM does Jitsi Meet need?

The template manifest asks for 2 CPU cores, 2048 MB of RAM and 5 GB of disk as a floor, enough for small meetings and test installs. The template notes say upstream suggests 4 to 8 GB for regular use with many participants. This page sells the 6 GB tier, and the Java heaps are adjustable.

How do I upgrade a Jitsi Meet Docker install?

Upgrades are not automatic. The template pins stable-11248 by immutable digest, and a catalog re-sync affects new installs only. Read the upstream release notes, take a backup of prosody_data, then bump the readable tag and digest together on all four images.

Is Jitsi Meet an alternative to Zoom?

It can be: Jitsi Meet is browser-based video conferencing with chat, screen sharing and a lobby, run on your own server. This page makes no feature-parity claim with Zoom, and recording, dial-in and whiteboard are not part of this template.

What should I back up?

Include the prosody_data volume in your backup, because it holds the host accounts, along with your stable .env values. Nothing else needs saving, since meetings are not recorded by this template. Restore the volume before redeploying, and keep the generated internal passwords unchanged.

Backups in xCloud

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
