@tanvir23 I had your exact problem, I solved doing:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
sudo nano /etc/environment
added this line at the end of the file -> JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle"
source /etc/environment
sudo apt-get install jitsi-meet
... etc

Install java8 packages as they are a requirement now. And then install jitsi-meet.
