If you 'claim your are the host' (perfectly harmless; try it), 
Jitsi Meet asks you for a known username/password, and won't let you
into the room without it.  This is because Russell has (wisely) 
configured the server in what is called 'secure domain' mode:  Only
persons who've authenticated as authorised users are permitted to create
and thus open rooms.  Once a room is open, then anonymous members of the
public may then enter it.

The Jitsi Project's meet.jit.si server (available for use by the public
at large), _by contrast,_ runs in an entirely non-authenticated mode.  
Anyone may create a room on it, upon request.  (Persons in that room 
can then, however, add a password for entry.)
