How to switch your deployment to JaaS in one easy step

Note: By default it will have e2ee(end-to-end) encryption enabled that works only on chromium based browsers (Chrome, Edge, …). If a participant joins from another browser or mobile the e2ee is turned off.

In order to use your deployment with JaaS you first need to login to your JaaS Developer console and generate a key pair. Use Add API key button and then Generate API key pair. Make sure you download the generated private key from:

Make sure you transfer this downloaded private key to your server. Copy the key id from:

Now on your server run the helper script passing the private key file and the key id:

sudo /usr/share/jitsi-meet/scripts/move-to-jaas.sh /my/path/test-key.pk <key_id>
