Hi Mario,

Welcome to the forums!

Thank you for taking the trouble to create an account to share your tip, just yesterday I saw a post by @Luncheon3462 , describing just the kind of problem you solved. Perhaps you might take the trouble to hand them your suggestion?

It was not clear to me directly whether it was missing in the Jitsi version or in the YNH version, and had a look at the config.js you linked. It is there at line 25, so you must mean it is not in the YNH version.

Some speculation, without having any facts at hand:

  • The freely available Jitsi web client at meet.jit.si is behind a login since a couple of weeks (months?).
  • I guess it has to do with cash flow, and the cost of running the infrastructure of such a platform.
  • Maybe “Jaas” means “Jitsi as a service”; when self-hosting, the hosted Jitsi is not needed.
  • Before, when everyone could just use their servers, it would not have mattered how the connection was established
  • Now that the hosted platform is behind a login, they need a new parameter to tell whether to use the hosted platform
  • The new parameter is not yet included in the YNH config

Anyway, so far for letting my fantasy run :smiley:

Thanks again!
