Rocket.Chat App for Jitsi

Installation

Install the app via the Rocket.Chat Marketplace or download the source code and build the app by yourself. You would need the Rpcket.Chat App Engine CLI to do so. To deploy a self-build app to your server, make sure to have the App development mode enabled (Administration - General - Apps - Enable develpment mode). Use the following command to deploy the app: rc-apps deploy --url http://localhost:3000 --username <username> --password <password>

Usage

This app provides a Slashcommand. Simply type /jitsi in any message window and send the message. You can set a custom room name by adding the @ symbol to the message /jitsi @MyRoomExample. Please note that this app uses the Jitsi server specified in your Rocket.Chat Video settings: Administration - Video Conference - Jitsi

Settings

The following settings can be set via Administration - Apps - Jitsi Slash Command

JWT Token

When authentication via JSON Web Tokens (JWT) is enabled on your Jitsi instance, you may want to add a static token for each conference link generated to allow users to enter the conference. This token can be generated here: jwt.io. It is recommended to set an expiration date when creating the token. The token can not be limited to a dedicated room as the same token is added to every conference link. To set the JWT Token, just paste to the corresponding text box in your app settings.
