Unable to join the meeting- it says ask to join

[amjidkhanmohmand]

Hello @saghul , Hopefully, you are in good health. I am using Jitsi meet from the last 2 years in my app. But it suddenly stoped working and it says "Ask to join" when I create a meeting. Please guide me on how to make creater of the meeting a moderator as previously all users were moderators by default. I am working with Android Studio (java). Thanks

Are you using meet.jit.si on your app?

If so, yes, we added auth last year. More details here: https://jitsi.org/blog/authentication-on-meet-jit-si/

If you use your own server you can choose to not have auth.

Yes, I am using meet.jit.si, could you please let me know that how can I set w user to be a moderator so that he can join hassel free and then allow other users to connect. Let say user A created a meeting then he will be a moderator by default and hence will join the meeting without any restrictions as he is the host. Could you please guide me on how to achieve that?

Please let me know how can I make my app work with your new policy of authentication as I am already providing email etc.

You need to host your own backend.
