Too early, jitsi needs lot of work to get good basic features first. Their "videobridge" just a pieces of software without docs, arch description, has not possibility to run as pure SFU without any other jitsi parts like Colibry XMPP. And etc. "InsertableStreams" scheduled for Chrome only and future 84 version, still experimental and if it's a after codec processing then useless.

Janus [1] is a much more capable webrtc gateway that's pluggable to do anything you want. Jitsi is like a Wowza type server. Stay away.

Is it a turnkey solution? Janus seems more like a WebRTC gateway with no directly usable end-user app (eg. video chat).

Jitsi Meet seems to be a turnkey thing where you can just self host an instance and have users create video meetings without too much fuss.

Janus is more of a Swiss Army knife, vs a all-in-one app for a specific use case for webrtc.

Ye will see, thx. I'm looking the "mediasoup" SFU, it looks very nice, but need to try a code.
