what is the difference between Jitsi Meet and Jitsi Videobridge? If I want a chat room for multiple people to play role-playing game at the production level, which one is better for me, meet or videobridge?

should i host Jitsi on my own server or use Jitsi’s server if i am going to use chat at the production level, however, it is hard for me to estimate the volume of user at this point, is there a estimate out there for Jitsi, like if user hit certain number, then the website should host jitsi on its own server rather than use Jitsi org’s server?

1.) From reading over the documentation, Jitsi Meet is the javascript client that runs in a browser and connects to Jitsi Videobridge (the server component) to facilitate multi user web RTC conferences. By default webRTC can be used for 1:1 communications but some server framework is usually needed for multi-user applications.
2.) Without knowing your usage (and unfortunately we don’t have any benchmarks related to it available) it’s difficult to say from a financial perspective which would be more effective. There is also the time required in administering your server. I would recommend creating a test server and trying it out, doing your own testing on how many users can be supported. I would guess this would prove to be the cheaper option as a web RTC based service should be fairly low on resource use for each connected client.
