Are you concerned amazon will take your business?
- saghul 6y ago
  No. They have a similar offering of their own. We also run our infra on AWS so they are getting business from us already.

Hi saghul, thanks for dropping by. We’re currently running self-hosted Jitsi Meet in production and have been very happy with performance - particularly stability. We would however be interested in switching to JaaS as we’d like to get away from managing our own infra and just host a landing page through, e.g., NextJS on Vercel, with a JaaS iFrame. The landing page mentions deep customisation but when clicking through to the documentation I see only custom branding, etc., through the developer web console. We have some customisations on the front-end (custom kick messages, auto-enabling lobbies, etc). Is it possible to make these sorts of customisations to JaaS? It seems like an iFrame is the recommended integration so would be great to get a sense if any of these things are possible. Could you speak generally to the degree of customisation possible outside of the developer web console? Thanks in advance.

We host music events where ~500-2000 people watch a shared stream, and some subset of those people break off into video chat rooms to hang out with each other. We'd love to pay for JaaS to host the video room portion of events, however the MAU pricing model doesn't work well for events that only last a day or two. Is there any alternative pricing model that charges by the day or minute?

  Please reach out. We are happy to talk about it and find ways to accommodate other use cases.

Is there a simple tutorial or resources on how to get started ?
