Running your own instance
If you'd like to run your own Jitsi Meet installation head over to the handbook to get started.
We provide Debian packages and a comprehensive Docker setup to make deployments as simple as possible.
Advanced users also have the possibility of building all the components from source.
You can check the latest releases here.
Jitsi as a Service
If you like the branding capabilities of running your own instance but you'd like
to avoid dealing with the complexity of monitoring, scaling and updates, JaaS might be
for you.
8x8 Jitsi as a Service (JaaS) is an enterprise-ready video meeting platform that allows developers, organizations and businesses to easily build and deploy video solutions. With Jitsi as a Service we now give you all the power of Jitsi running on our global platform so you can focus on building secure and branded video experiences.

How to switch your deployment to [JaaS](https://jaas.8x8.vc) in one easy step
Note: By default it will have e2ee(end-to-end) encryption enabled that works only on chromium based browsers (Chrome, Edge, ...). If a participant joins from another browser or mobile the e2ee is turned off.
In order to use your deployment with JaaS you first need to login to your JaaS Developer console and generate a key pair.
Use Add API key button and then Generate API key pair. Make sure you download the generated private key from:
Make sure you transfer this downloaded private key to your server. Copy the key id from:
Now on your server run the helper script passing the private key file and the key id:
sudo /usr/share/jitsi-meet/scripts/move-to-jaas.sh /my/path/test-key.pk <key_id>More information about JaaS Api keys at: https://developer.8x8.com/jaas/docs/jaas-console-api-keys
If you want to adjust the enabled services you can do that in /etc/jits/meet/jaas/nginx-jaas.conf. The part after proxy_set_body is the jwt token content that will be used for the client tokens. More info about the JaaS tokens: https://developer.8x8.com/jaas/docs/api-keys-jwt
