So, if you want something to be a secret, don’t make wiki pages prior to posting about it…

Nice use of Jitsi. I have long used Jitsi for the audio/video of my online D&D campaign.

FYI, VitalPBX has been doing this for a few weeks now.

Sangoma sent an email about this on the 15th.

sorvani · April 21, 2020, 12:03am

I’m sad, i did not see that email blast last week

Because since that is my brithday, I would have made a comment about it being a present for me

tested from china lot, it works. FreePBX should add jtsi module connecting with jitsi.

Unfortunate that it’s Jitsi and not Asterisk!

Jitsi’s XMPP core is weird; SIP makes a lot more sense, especially for easy interop.

Asterisk has the core but lacks the front end libraries for doing the screen sharing and whiteboard stuff as a video stream.

I mean just using freepbx as a inbound call interface. Currently, jitsi’s users have to do some modifications in dialplan if connecting with sip connector.

There is a module called jitsi-meet that can act as a bridge between jitsi rooms and SIP video devices.
That’s where I’d see Asterisk 15 fitting in somehow.

# Configuring sipgw jibri with jitsi-meet

This document describes how you can configure jitsi-meet to use sipgw jibri and enable rooms in 'Add people dialog'
You will need a working deployment of jibri configured to use a regular sip video device, for more info check out the [jibri documentation](https://github.com/jitsi/jibri/blob/master/README.md).

This feature is available for non-guests of the system, so this relies on setting in config.js ``enableUserRolesBasedOnToken: true`` and providing a jwt token when accessing the conference.

* Jicofo configuration:
edit /etc/jitsi/jicofo/sip-communicator.properties (or similar), set the appropriate MUC to look for the Jibri Controllers. This should be the same MUC as is referenced in jibri's config.json file. Restart Jicofo after setting this property.

```
  org.jitsi.jicofo.jibri.SIP_BREWERY=TheSipBrewery@conference.yourdomain.com
 ```

* Jitsi Meet configuration:
 - config.js: add 
```
  enableUserRolesBasedOnToken: true,
  peopleSearchQueryTypes: ['conferenceRooms'],
  peopleSearchUrl: 'https://api.yourdomain.com/testpath/searchpeople',

# SIP Gateway
Currently the XMPP API is the only officially supported API, so this doc will discuss how to configure Jibri to allow SIP gateway calls via the XMPP API.

To use the SIP gateway functionality of Jibri, you'll need to set the `sip_control_muc` field in `config.json`, it can be found within the `XmppEnvironment` field.  Jibri will join this MUC to announce itself of being capable of providing SIP gateway services to Jicofo.

I wish I had time to play with it.

I’m familiar, but my point is that a WebRTC conferencing app with Asterisk at the core would be nice (this is an Asterisk-related forum after all).

Hi All,

Thank you for using Sangoma Meet.
We have been working hard to make it our own with Jitsi at its core.
We have a dual geo-redundant cluster of video bridges and have been working hard
on optimizing the performance/video quality ratio that has been tricky to get right.

Here is our roadmap of what is coming up next
https://wiki.freepbx.org/display/MEET/Meet+Roadmap

Great minds think alike: We already had the idea to use Asterisk as a Jitsi Videobridge (not that we are very original). Though from initial research it looks like a lot of work, so we are continuing to investigate. Would love to hear, if you think it’s a good idea and why?

@sorvani sorry you did not get an invite! Consider it a present from me to you
And no, we were not trying to keep it a secret Thus I made the wiki public from day one.

Feedback is appreciated, you can reach out to me directly or at [email protected]

It seems to be a good idea. Here’s why
