Work-around for the following bug in Jitsi Meet: jitsi/jitsi-meet#8144

  1. Save start_muted.html as /etc/jitsi/meet/start_muted.html
  2. Edit the Apache config for the Jitsi virtual host to include the contents of jitsi-meet-apache.conf
  3. Reload Apache

For docker-based setups the following seems to work.

I placed start_muted.html in ${CONFIG}/web and needed to add a value to start_muted_fix to make the if above work.
