You could confirm by running

$ apt-cache show jitsi-meet

and looking at the Depends: field.

(Depending on exactly how rigid the dependency is, it might be that if
you use equivs to set up a package that Depends: on a newer JDK package
and Provides: the older one - possibly with symlinks or divergences -
you could get things to work without needing upstream to update things.
That would only work if it only calls the JDK binaries, and only by
non-version-specific paths and names, however; if it links any
libraries, or relies on version-specific behavior that's changed in the
newer version of the JDK, the end result would wind up being broken.)
