## What's new

Self-hosted video meetings were leaving a large Fly machine running all month, including when nobody was in a call. That one app was about $50 of a $60 bill. The machine now stops after it has been idle, and starts again when someone opens a meeting.

## At a glance

- The Jitsi machine no longer stays switched on between meetings.
- The first person to join waits while the machine starts.
- Group websites are unchanged.
