Calendar meeting with Jitsi #10

Open Extarys opened 1 year ago

Extarys commented 1 year ago

A family member wanted me to install Nextcloud for him to replace Outlook/Teams for meetings.

I installed both Talk and Jitsi to look at how each of them work.

I suspect that the user on nextcloud need to create an event in the calendar with the person's email address and that is how appointment/meeting confirmation can get used, but there aren't any way to easily use Jitsi with those. I only see a Talk link being copied to the description of the event if a meeting is created with Talk (obvisouly).

Is there a way to extend this app to include such features? I'm not sure if this belongs here or on the Mail - Calendar app as I have no clue how Nextcloud apps interact with each other.

I found a link that shows outlook meeting link for Teams: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/schedule-a-teams-meeting-from-outlook-883cc15c-580f-441a-92ea-0992c00a9b0f

As workaround, what we do in our Nextcloud is

  1. The event organiser creates a jitsi url in the jitsi app
  2. Then he creates an event in the calendar and manually enters the jitsi url in the event location or description

You can also add nextcloud users or external users by email as attendees in the event. Then nextcloud will automatically send an email invitation to all attendees where they can confirm or deny the invitation. They will be able to read the event meeting url in the description.

Ok gotcha, thanks! I never played that much with those features, but meetings and such are more and more popular.

I'll try to convince my family member the "pain" (read: few extra clicks) is worth it. :joy:

Sorry, closed by habit. I might wait for a contributor to jump in, just in case.

Hey :wave: I've split this up into two separate issues. Let's keep this one for Calendar integration and see #11 for Mail integration.

From the behaviour side I would say it should just copy Nextcloud Talk.
