What is the approximate bandwidth cost per user per hour?


I wonder if there is anything published about meet.jit.si's use, traffic and costs (as well as scaling issues, solutions)? I imagine that it all of these have increased a lot over the last weeks, and it's pretty impressive that the entirely free and non-monetized (AFAICT) service has remained up and without problems (AFAIK).


Jitsi will use up to 2.5Mbps for the user "on stage" (the large view) and about 200Kbps for each thumbnail.

You can use these numbers and your usual conference size to calculate how much data you'd use and then calculate the cost of that.


This depends entirely on the quality of the video sent.


Probably depends on your connection


Isn't there a cost for bandwidth for the server where you have it installed?
