I've noticed one thing that puzzles me a little (after I tried removing and reinstalling Jitsi) and that is that the Debian/Buster package installs jitsi-videobridge while the jitsi install guide for Debian/Ubuntu talks about jitsi-videobridge2.

I'm running a Jitis-meet server on a Debian/Buster AMD64 system. It usually works fine. However every time I want to actually host a meeting, it decides
to act up.

Yesterday evening I tested Jitsi with a meeting between my desktop system and my Android phone. Everything worked properly. I could see the video feed from both devices on both devices. Since it was working, I notified people
of the meeting address.

Today, I tried it again pre-meeting only to find the usual issue cropped up. While both devices can connect to the meeting, I can only see the video feed from the local device (I can see my desktop feed on the desktop browser and
the Android feed on the phone).

I tried creating a new meeting but I get the same problem. I've tried
reinstalling Jitsi-meet (and also Jicofo and Jitsi-videobridge2), which worked in the past, but still no luck. Nor does rebooting the server help.
Is your phone connected via wifi to your LAN or to a mobile data
service? Try it both ways.

I suspect a STUN/TURN NAT issue.

BTW: I didn't change anything on the jitsi server between it working and it not working. I did ssh to it in the morning to check for apt updates but there weren't any.

OK, it turns out the problem was with my phone. I have no idea why it worked yesterday but not today but when I tried it with another device, things worked.
