Joomla JooJitsi Conferencing Extension

This module allows you to quickly and easily integrate the Jitsi Meet videoconferencing into your Joomla website. You can customize every aspect of the videoconference, including the security settings. Thanks to the countless configuration options available in the module, every single function of the conference can be enabled or disabled according to your needs.

Main features:

- Easy installation and configuration: the module is pre configured to connect to the free public server istance of Jitsi Meet (meet.jit.si).

- In order to have even more control, the module can be set to work with your own private server instance.

- It is also possible to use the "Jitsi as a Service" (JaaS) provided by jaas.8x8.vc

- The conference window is totally customizable: size, alignment, border style and "start conference" button style. The module is also equipped with his own .css file. It can be easly edited to better fit the template of any website.

- Almost every single toolbar button and functionn of the Jitsi conference room can be enabled or disabled: chat, desktop sharing, raise hand, microphone, hangup, camera, filmstrip, invite and more...

- The Jitsi conference room has a menu with a lot of standard entries and functions that can enabled or disabled individually in the module configuration: profile, video quality, fullscreen mode, live streaming, recording, video sharing, background blur, and more...

- It is possible to set a standard password for the room access and there is an option to enable or disable the "lobby mode" (if enabled, all users trying to join need to be formal authorized in order to connect to the conference).

- The module also allows to integrate the Joomla user's profile account data into the conference (username and email).

- Users can also connect to the conference with their mobile devices thanks to the free Jitsi Meet app for Android and iOS devices. An exclusive feature of this extension also allows you to show a simplified page specifically for users accessing from smartphones and tablets (Android and iOS) which allows them to download the app for their devices and to use it to access the pre-configured room. Alternatively, the module can be configured to initiate the video conference directly from the mobile browser, bypassing the standard Jitsi page dedicated to anyone accessing from mobile devices.

- No new tables will be created by the module in your DB.
