There indeed is an element of risk in installing a package which does
not come from the Debian repository.  And, indeed, some packages are
not in the Debian repository because of incompatibilities with other
packages.  And creating a Debian package truly is more difficult than
is installing a package which someone else has created; I did not
claim otherwise.

With terms such as "bogus" and "pletoric" (sic; I presume you mean
"plethoric") you are implying malice and incompetence on the part of
jitsi.  Do you have evidence for such accusation?

Commonsense dictates that a conferencing server be run on dedicated
hardware, rather than on a computer which is vital to local
operations.  In this day of the "smartphone", surplus computers are
abundant and are priced cheaply.  As I stated, by following the video,
I successfully installed Jitsi on an old desktop running Debian 9 (or
perhaps it was Debian 10), and I successfully used the server for
video conferencing.
