Jitsi room

Jitsi to offer conference calls in rooms, with an experimental Element Call implementation in the works.A set of defaults are applied, pointing at our Jitsi and Element Call instances, to ensure conference calling works, however youcan point Element at your own if you prefer.More information about the Jitsi setup can be found here.The VoIP and Jitsi options are:jitsi: Optional configuration for how to start Jitsi conferences. Currently can only contain a single preferred_domainvalue which points at the domain of the Jitsi instance. Defaults to meet.element.io. This is not used if the Jitsi widgetwas created by an integration manager, or if the homeserver provides Jitsi information in /.well-known/matrix/client. Forexample:{ "jitsi": { "preferred_domain": "meet.jit.si" }}jitsi_widget: Optional configuration for the built-in Jitsi widget. Currently can only contain a single skip_built_in_welcome_screenvalue, denoting whether the "Join Conference" button should be shown. When true (default false), Jitsi calls will skip tothe call instead of having a screen with a single button on it. This is most useful if the Jitsi instance being used alreadyhas a landing page for users to test audio and video before joining the call, otherwise users will automatically join the call.For example:{ "jitsi_widget": { "skip_built_in_welcome_screen": true }}voip: Optional configuration for various VoIP features. Currently can only contain a single obey_asserted_identity value tosend MSC3086-style asserted identity messages during VoIP calls in the room corresponding to the asserted identity. This mustonly be set in trusted environments. The option defaults to false. For example:{ "voip": { "obey_asserted_identity": false }}widget_build_url: Optional URL to have Element make a request to when a user presses the voice/video call buttons in the app,if a call would normally be started by the action. The URL will be called with a roomId query parameter to identify the roombeing called in. The URL must respond with a JSON object similar to the following:{ "widget_id": "$arbitrary_string", "widget": { "creatorUserId": "@user:example.org", "id": "$the_same_widget_id", "type": "m.custom", "waitForIframeLoad": true, "name": "My Widget Name Here", "avatar_url": "mxc://example.org/abc123", "url": " "data": { "title": "Subtitle goes here" } }, "layout": { "container": "top", "index": 0, "width": 65, "height": 50 }}The widget is the content of a normal widget state event. The layout is the layout specifier for the widget being created,as defined by the io.element.widgets.layout state event. By default this applies to all rooms, but the behaviour can be skipped for2-person rooms, causing Element to fall back to 1:1 VoIP, by setting the option widget_build_url_ignore_dm to true.audio_stream_url: Optional URL to pass to Jitsi to enable live streaming. This option is considered experimental and may be removedat any time without notice.element_call: Optional configuration for native group calls using Element Call, with the following subkeys:url: The URL of the Element Call instance to use for native group calls. This option is considered experimentaland may be removed at any time without notice. Defaults to A boolean specifying whether Element Call should be used exclusively as the only VoIP stack inthe app, removing the ability to start legacy 1:1 calls or Jitsi calls. Defaults to false.participant_limit: The maximum number of users who can

Description:I have changed some property about videoQuality in Config.js, but the actual videoQuality is always about 1440x810, can not reach 1080P. So how to let the videoQuality settings work?Steps to reproduce:Edit the config.js file in '/root/.jitsi-meet-cfg/web/config.js'.Make below changes:`// Koala addedconfig.videoQuality.minHeightForQualityLvl = { 1080: 'low'} ;config.resolution = 1080;config.constraints.video.height = { ideal: 1080, max: 1080, min: 1080 };config.constraints.video.width = { ideal: 1920, max: 1920, min: 1920};config.desktopSharingFrameRate = { min: 30, max: 60 };`4. run the command 'chattr +i /root/.jitsi-meet-cfg/web/config.js' and restart the container 'docker-jitsi-meet-stable-8044-1-web-1'.5. Enter the container 'docker-jitsi-meet-stable-8044-1-web-1' and check the file in path: /config/config.js to confirm the changes.6. Re-create a new meeting room and check the frame rate of SharingScreen but the number is always 5.7. Change the frame rate to 30 and starting SharingScreen.8. Check the status of sharingscreen and saw the resolution is '1440x810' and frame rate never over 30.Expected behavior:The actual resolution and frame rate are same as the one I set in config.js .Actual behavior:The actual resolution and frame rate never reached the one I set in config.js .Server information:Jitsi Meet version: stable-8044-1Operating System: Alibaba Cloud Linux 3Running Time: Docker with your official docker imageBandwidth of Server: 200Mbps with DCDN and original server.Client information:Browser / app version: Chrome Version 108.0.5359.94 (Official Build) (arm64)Operating System: MacOS 13.0.1 (22A400)Bandwidth: 200Mbps

Description:We are self-hosting Jitsi Meet and we often get a bug where someone will enable their camera and nobody else will see it. (To others it appears as if the user does not have their camera enabled.)I think it started to happen when we upgraded from 2.0.8719-1 to 2.0.8922-1 (or at least it was not this frequent before).Steps to reproduce:Say you have a room with 2 users.User A enables their camera.User B does not see it.This has been confirmed by several of our users.(I tried to reproduce on but got a different bug: as soon as I enabled my camera, audio and video froze for both me and the other user.)Expected behavior:When an user enables their camera, the other users should see it.Actual behavior:Very often, other users don't see the camera.Server information:Jitsi Meet version: 2.0.8922-1Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)Client information:Browser / app version: Firefox 118.0.1Operating System: Linux Mint 21Additional information:Here is a browser log from the user enabling their camera (Firefox on Linux):Jitsi-camera-sender-logs.txtAnd from the other user (Firefox on Linux):Jitsi-camera-receiver-logs.txt

As of August 24th, the platform no longer allows for anonymous room creation. Users are now required to authenticate through an account—initially Google, GitHub, or Facebook. This change aims to curb misuse of the service.Now, let’s refocus on Jitsi Meet as a secure and encrypted communications platform. End-to-end encryption remains one of its strongest suits. While Jitsi Meet’s server can theoretically access raw video streams, the architecture mitigates potential interception by third parties. If you’re looking for additional privacy, you can self-host a Jitsi Meet instance on your own server, which still remains an option.Anonymity was a unique feature of Jitsi Meet, but that’s no longer the case. Users must now authenticate, which introduces a new layer of accountability but could be perceived as a drawback for those who value total anonymity. However, the commitment to encrypted communication remains unchanged, according to the platform’s recent blog post.In terms of functionality, Jitsi Meet doesn’t skimp. The service includes features like background blur, speaker stats, and livestreaming options. Versatile enough for a casual catch-up or a professional webinar, the platform’s features have been designed to serve a variety of use-cases.Being open-source also continues to be a major advantage for Jitsi Meet. The transparency of the code allows anyone to inspect it for vulnerabilities or suggest improvements. This openness is often viewed as a boon for security-focused individuals and organizations.To sum up, the recent change in requiring account-based authentication marks a shift in Jitsi Meet’s approach to privacy and accessibility. However, its core attributes of encryption, self-hosting options, and open-source codebase still make it a solid choice for secure and encrypted communications.SummaryIn summary, the realm of secure and encrypted messaging is not a one-size-fits-all landscape. Privacy Messaging offers a secure haven for the everyday user concerned about data leaks and surveillance. Anonymous Instant Messaging via Tor provides an additional layer of anonymity, useful in high-risk situations or oppressive environments. Private and Secure Team Chats address the unique complexities and stakes of group communication in both professional and activist settings. Finally, Encrypted Video & Voice Messengers bring peace of mind to real-time conversations that can otherwise be easily intercepted.So, what’s the bottom line? In a world where our data trails can be both an asset and a liability, choosing the right encrypted messenger is more than just a matter of preference—it’s a matter of security, freedom, and sometimes even justice. Regardless of which category

In the times in which we live, teleworking and distance learning has become very relevant. That is why many tools have emerged to help us with remote communications. However, not all of them are new, but they have now become relevant. Well, one of them is the Jitsi Meet desktop. Hot you will learn how to install it.what is Jitsi Meet?Jitsi Meet is a free and open-source tool that allows us to make group video calls. The main difference regarding proprietary solutions is that it is very private and encrypted, and we can deploy our instance.This makes Jitsi Meet suitable for use in private and educational environments because there is no extra cost.Thanks to contributions from the community, we have a desktop client for Jitsi Meet. This client is built with Electron, so it is compatible with many Linux distributions as well as Windows.Thanks to this client, we will be able to access a Jitsi server from the desktop, always with encryption. In addition to this, we can have the option of Always on Top to not miss anything. Another feature of this program is that it has automatic updates that will make us always use the latest stable version.In short, it is a small application, but it fulfills the purpose of bringing Jitsi to our desktop so that we don’t have to use it from a browser.Installing Jitsi Meet Desktop on Debian 11 with APTTo install Jitsi Meet, we have several options. The most common is to use APT.
