@react-native-async-storage/async-storage/android/build/.transforms/9dd367dba80f545b4eab970912f96059/transformed/release/com/reactnativecommunity/asyncstorage/AsyncLocalStorageUtil.dex: D8: Type com.reactnativecommunity.asyncstorage.AsyncLocalStorageUtil is defined multiple times:

This has all to do with the side-note on the readme. You need to exclude async storage.

Example of build.gradle part:

implementation(project(':react-native-jitsi-meet')) {
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-locale-detector'
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-vector-icons'
        exclude group: 'com.facebook',module:'hermes'
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-svg'
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-device-info'
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-splash-screen'
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-async-storage_async-storage'
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-async-storage'
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-screens'
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-safe-area-context'

        transitive = true
    }

    "react-native-vector-icons": "^9.0.0",
    "react-native-view-slider": "^1.1.1"
  },

This is my andorid/app/build.gradle file

implementation(project(':react-native-jitsi-meet')) {
        exclude group: 'com.facebook',module:'hermes'
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-vector-icons'
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-svg'
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-linear-gradient'
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-async-storage'
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-screens'
        exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-safe-area-context'
        //exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-reanimated'
        transitive=true
    }

And at first time the react-native-jitsi-meet opens in android and screen is black screen but when ı try to join video call it opens the video

Like you can see in my previous comment you're missing this line (notice the _async-storage part):

exclude group: 'com.facebook.react',module:'react-native-async-storage_async-storage'

So to be clear, you need two lines to exclude async storage. Also try to clean project after changing build.gradle. The black screen issue is probably something else, because I also have that problem with the most recent react-native version.
