Support initiating Jitsis via self-hosted jitsis #3895

Open ara4n opened 3 years ago

ara4n commented 3 years ago

https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/blob/develop/docs/jitsi.md says that iOS doesn't support instantiating jitsis on custom self-hosted jitsi deiployments. https://github.com/vector-im/element-ios/issues/3150 implies we support joining them, however.

Did we ever hook up instantiating them?

By instantiating you mean implementing it in UX/UI, by making link editable in widget? @ara4n . I think someone proposed a PR so I assume the issue is fixed by that. Cheers for feedback and confirmation if by instantiating you mean UI implementation.

The issue with the PR is https://github.com/vector-im/element-ios/issues/3158

dont think so I believe with intantiating matthew is refering to UI so ability to chage default jitsi instance url like it is possible to do in BBB if you know what I mean @hex-m

You can already set the Jitsi-Meeting URL when you use the widget from dimension.t2bot.io. (only tested on element-desktop but this should not depend on the client afaiu)

On scalar.vector.im you can't edit the URL:

My understanding is that the linked documentation is only about the video call feature that automatically creates a Jitsi Meet session when there are >2 people in a room.
