I run a self hosted Jitsi instance for my student Club. We are using for meetings with up to 50 people in a weekly basis. Works pretty well. Everyone accept the speakers has to turn Video off at that scale. With Video it works reliable up to 15 people.

There are some tweaks regarding framerate and resolution but that only raises the limit slightly.

If you don't mind me asking, what sort of hardware and network did you use for self-hosting? I tested it out with a couple of people on a basic Digital Ocean droplet and it was spotty (quality dropped really quickly) and it convinced me not to bother persuading my family/friends to switch over for our calls

There's a useful thread of people reporting different server/users combinations that worked for them here: https://community.jitsi.org/t/recommended-server-specs-for-2...

Thanks
