+title: Jitsi Meet dropped
+layout: post
+---
+
+We have (silently) dropped the hosting of our own Jitsi Meet service last week.
+The rather big resource costs did not weigh up to the infrequent usage.
+
+## Any alternatives?
+
+As an alternative for group (video) calls, you could use Jitsi's own public
+service on [meet.jit.si](https://meet.jit.si){:target="_blank"}, switch to
+something different like Element Call on
+[call.element.io](https://call.element.io){:target="_blank"}, or just create a
+public call via the
+[Talk app](https://cloud.luon.net/apps/spreed/){:target="_blank"} in Luon
+Cloud.
+
+## What about Matrix/Element?
+
+Our [Element Web](https://chat.luon.net){:target="_blank"} instance was
+configured to use our own Jitsi Meet service but will now use Jitsi's public
+service instead. Android/iOS Element already used Jitsi's public service.
+Note that one-to-one calls are still peer-to-peer without using Jitsi!
+
+All Element clients are currently being modified to use
+[Element Call](https://call.element.io) instead of Jitsi Meet for group calls.
+We will also host our own instance of that in the future, but it is not just
+there yet. We will keep you posted!
