BuddyMeet is a BuddyPress (2.5+) plugin that uses <a href="https://jitsi.org/jitsi-meet/" rel="nofollow ugc">Jitsi Meet</a> to allow the members of a community to participate into virtual conference rooms with video and audio capabilities. BuddyMeet’s features include:
<ul>
<li>A room where all members of a group can meet each other</li>
<li>On demand rooms among specific invited group members</li>
<li>Automatic customization of the room’s subject and the name/avatar of the participants</li>
<li>Customization of all the parameters that <a href="https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/dev-guide/dev-guide-iframe" rel="nofollow ugc">Jitsi Meet API</a> supports</li>
<li>Support for RS256-signed JWT authentication. This enables secure connections to <a href="https://jaas.8x8.vc" rel="nofollow ugc">8×8 JaaS</a> (8×8.vc domain) and self-hosted Jitsi servers using RSA SHA-256 verified tokens.</li>
</ul>
Moreover, you can use the shortcode [buddymeet room=ROOM_HERE subject=SUBJECT_HERE] to add a conference room to any WordPress page. In that case, you have to pass any configuration by using the following shortcode parameters:
<ul>
<li>domain: The domain of the Jitsi Meet installation. BuddyMeet uses by default the 8×8.vc service.</li>
<li>room: The identifier of the room.</li>
<li>subject: The subject of the room. If empty the room is being displayed as the subject.</li>
<li>password: A password for the room. The first to enter the room sets that password and all other participants have to put it to enter.</li>
<li>show_watermark: Whether to show the Jitsi.org watermark or not.</li>
<li>show_brand_watermark: Whether to show a custom branded watermark or not.</li>
<li>brand_watermark_link: the custom brand watermark to show.</li>
<li>width: The width of the embedded window.</li>
<li>height: The height of the embedded window.</li>
<li>start_audio_only: Start the meet with the microphone only enabled and the camera off.</li>
<li>film_strip_only: Start the meet in filmstrip only mode.</li>
<li>disable_video_quality_label: Disable the video quality indicator.</li>
<li>mobile_open_in_browser: Launch the meet directly within the browser in mobile devices without opening the jitsi mobile app.</li>
<li>user: The user to display. Leave empty to automatically set the display name of the logged-in user.</li>
<li>avatar: The url with the avatar to display. Leave empty to automatically set the avatar of the logged-in user.</li>
<li>settings: A csv with the Jitsi Meet settings to get enabled. For the available options check <a href="https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/interface_config.js#L124" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a></li>
<li>toolbar: A csv with the Jitsi Meet toolbar options to get enabled. For the available options check <a href="https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/config.js#L718" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.</li>
<li>background_color: The background color of the window</li>
<li>default_language: The default language of the Jitsi Meet interface.</li>
</ul>
BuddyMeet uses by default the 8×8.vc service which is maintained by the Jitsi team at 8×8. Upon the initialization of a room, BuddyMeet sends the following information to the service:
<ul>
<li>The name of the current buddypress group as the subject of the call</li>
<li>The name, the surname and the avatar of the currently logged-in user</li>
</ul>
However, if you want to use your own hosted installation of Jitsi Meet, you can just configure the corresponding domain via the “Manage” menu of a BuddyPress group. For more information about Jitsi Meet please follow the links below:
