Conference Integration

It still opens the right way for me using an “Open link” action. Can you show us a video?

Hello, thanks for your answer, look in the video, open the link correctly, the problem is from my mobile phone, I already have the Jitsi App downloaded as the photos are shown. Thank you very much for your help.

Oh so it does not open the app at all and keeps you in the browser?

Sure, I have also tried with web view and the same thing happens. I tried the www.zipcan.com tool but I don’t know where and how to insert the code. Attached photograph of the 2 options that I could not make work either.

Button Embed

Direct Embed

I’m not sure about Zipcan, I have never used it myself. Regarding Jitsi, if it does not redirect you to the appp then I think it’s a bug on Jitsi’s side.

I think this is related to phone. Am I right. Because ı tired with 3-4 diffrent mobile phone models

I have a need for a video call center / kiosk type system. Someone buys a self-administered covid test kit but needs to perform the test in front of an approved expert to demonstrate they conducted the test properly.

Thanks to this thread I have done a proof of concept with Jitsi (works, button to ‘start call’) but will also get into Zipcan (wait list it seems), and also 24Sessions (has a call center use case).

I will report back my discoveries!

https://www.gruveo.com/ - looks like another alternative. It would be nice to keep the customer in the Glide app :slight_smile:

Hi,

I’m creating a 1 to 1 consultation app and need a video conferencing link to be generated per consultation. I’m really struggling to follow the information in this thread although it seems like exactly what I’m looking for. Can someone please share with me a step by step guide on how I could set jitsi up on my app?

I’ve created an account using their free plan as I won’t need more than 25 users as I’m just trying to do a proof of concept.

Please let me know if you need any more information from me.

You don’t even need to register as far as I aware. In the details screen of each consultation, you have a button that links to a column where you generate the unique link.

The unique link consists of: http://meet.jit.si/ + whatever things you put here that will be unique. You can add this using a template column.

Usually I add the rowID + a string of characters, which can be name, location, etc.

Here is how do my videoconference

  • template column

'https://meet.jit.si/rowid#userInfo.displayName="---------"

which is
'https://meet.jit.si/
+
rowID
+
#userInfo.displayName=
then I pick up either the user’s name or, in this case, I put in ----- as it is meant to be confidential.

Hope this helps - no need to pay a license either.

Hi,

Is anyone else having issues using jitsi?

I’ve tested this intergration a few times and people can’t either see each other or hear each other.

Does anyone know another platform I could use?

I have been having a ton of problems too - it is no where near as reliable as I thought it would be :(((

I looked again at Gruveo… does not allow itself to be integrated. I also have a project with two Jitsi experts to look at building our own Jitsi server… but this lack of connection is a disaster… :((( Jitsi does prefer Chrome, then Firefox, then Edge… Safari not so much

It turns out that the public meet Jitsi is often ok on weekends, but weekdays and peak times, it often does not connect. I’m glad I did my prototype demos on weekends otherwise I wouldn’t have got my project!

So, the fix is expensive. I’ve about $5k of consulting with a contractor Jitsi expert to get a custom environment in place, another $5k likely to configure autoscaling (to make sure it can handle more than 50 concurrent sessions easily), plus AWS costs (not massive as I’m doing peer-to-peer).

The upside - I get a fully customizable video conferencing environment to do all kinds of cool stuff with, for 10-15k plus hosting (we shall see what that costs). Not cheap, but if it works, then the company will do nicely!

Sounds amazing but I do not have that kind of money available right now.

Is there no way of using Zoom? I’ve seen it working on a Meet with Me glide app but I’m not sure how it’s done. That’s the only thing thats blocking me right now.

I have quite a special use case, and a client paying big bucks to get a system in place from idea to revenue in less than 2 months. It has been one hell of a ride so far!
