Plugin: buddymeet (Used by 94 domains)

BuddyMeet is a BuddyPress (2.5+) plugin that uses Jitsi Meet to allow the members of a community to participate into virtual conference rooms with video and audio capabilities. BuddyMeet’s features include:

• A room where all members of a group can meet each other
• On demand rooms among specific invited group members
• Automatic customization of the room’s subject and the name/avatar of the participants
• Customization of all the parameters that Jitsi Meet API supports
• Support for RS256-signed JWT authentication. This enables secure connections to 8×8 JaaS (8×8.vc domain) and self-hosted Jitsi servers using RSA SHA-256 verified tokens.

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:

• domain: The domain of the Jitsi Meet installation. BuddyMeet uses by default the 8×8.vc service.
• room: The identifier of the room.
• subject: The subject of the room. If empty the room is being displayed as the subject.
• 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.
• show_watermark: Whether to show the Jitsi.org watermark or not.
• show_brand_watermark: Whether to show a custom branded watermark or not.
• brand_watermark_link: the custom brand watermark to show.
• width: The width of the embedded window.
• height: The height of the embedded window.
• start_audio_only: Start the meet with the microphone only enabled and the camera off.
• film_strip_only: Start the meet in filmstrip only mode.
• disable_video_quality_label: Disable the video quality indicator.
• mobile_open_in_browser: Launch the meet directly within the browser in mobile devices without opening the jitsi mobile app.
• user: The user to display. Leave empty to automatically set the display name of the logged-in user.
• avatar: The url with the avatar to display. Leave empty to automatically set the avatar of the logged-in user.
• settings: A csv with the Jitsi Meet settings to get enabled. For the available options check here
• toolbar: A csv with the Jitsi Meet toolbar options to get enabled. For the available options check here.
• background_color: The background color of the window
• default_language: The default language of the Jitsi Meet interface.

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:

• The name of the current buddypress group as the subject of the call
• The name, the surname and the avatar of the currently logged-in user

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:
