[JITSI] Create an endpoint to generate a Jitsi URL

[djorkaeffalexandre]

Description:

Sometimes we make changes on how the url for Jitsi calls is generated based on settings or something like this. It should be better if instead of check all the settings and generate the url on each client side, we have an endpoint where we send a roomId and it returns a generated Jitsi URL.

Steps to reproduce:

I think at some point we wanted to abstract a conference type and jitsi / big blue button etc would live below them. Then the interface to those would remain the same regardless of what was happening underneath. Along the lines of also adding the ability for apps to implement.

But no clue how far away that is. So might be better off not waiting

Upper layer above any video conferencing system (Jitsi and BBB for now) is right way to evaluate. But now both systems so deferent in possibilities, so it could be not do easy. So, first step would be like @djorkaeffalexandre noted is just common for all clients URL generation routine.

is it still open?

Yeap. guess @harshalkaigaonkar is right. With new Video Conf system implemented in 4.29 mobile version and 5.0 server version, that issue could be closed. @diegolmello what do you think?

Hey @ankar84 , can you suggest me some initial issues to resolve?

Actually I'm not a part of Rocket.Chat team. But I think that Good first issue is a good tag to start. And also that is a great start point.

I think this issue can be closed.
