Hey Marcin,

Please test janus & jangouts on our ec2 server.

I just registered an ssl certificate on Let's Encrypt on our
temporary/free ec2 instance, so you can now play around with Janus and
Jangouts. It would be good if you and the team can test this & provide
feedback. Then, after testing Janus/Jangouts, we can do a similar test
for our homebrew Jitsi Meet (building of which requires me to destroy
the current janus server--which can be rebuilt if needed), and compare
experiences.

You can try jangouts here:

* https://jangouts.opensourceecology.org/jangouts/dist/

Jangouts, which is built on the Janus Gateway, is designed to mimic
Google Hangouts. It should have all the built-in functionality of screen
sharing & such, but I haven't had a chance to test it on a call with
anyone (I'm currently deep in the desert at Slab City, CA with very
shitty cell-tower internet, so I wouldn't be able to test this with you
for some time).

The Janus gateway itself has a number of demos that you may find useful,
which showcase the Janus Gateway's features

* https://jangouts.opensourceecology.org/demos.html

For example, the Video Room demo is what Jangouts builds upon. It
doesn't appear to have screen sharing built-in, but it does have the
ability for users to publish & unpublish themselves, switching between
the roles of "producer" or "consumer" and thereby affecting the
bandwidth requirements (and ultimately the maximum number) of other
participants.

Please play around with this. Once you've had a chance to test calls
with it, let me know. Then I'll tear it down & use this free ec2
instance (which is currently running Centos) to build a test OSE Jitsi
Meet server running off Debian.

Thank you,

Michael Altfield
