Can someone do

apt-get update 
apt-get install jitsi-meet

Does it work now?

[brimur]

Just tried to do an install on the same version of Ubuntu server and got the same result. I can also confirm it did work a few days ago when I installed on another server.

To fix:

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb https://download.jitsi.org unstable/' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jitsi-unstable.list" to get it to install
apt update
apt install jitsi-meet -y
