Options is an optional argument that is a JS object containing configuration parameters, but for now we will pass no argument. Now we can call: JitsiMeetJS.init(options) Lib-jitsi-meet is also dependent on jQuery and strophe.js, so you’ll need those dependencies as well. The easiest way to get started right away with the lib-jitsi-meet library is to import it in a script tag in your HTML file, so that the JitsiMeetJS object will become globally accessible to your code:
This guide assumes familiarity with JavaScript and basic HTML. You will send your video and audio streams to the conference, and in return, the conference will send you everybody else’s video and audio streams, so that you can see and hear them in real time! Initializing and Setting up a Connection Once set up, it will work like this: the JitsiConference represents your central node, to which you and all the others in your conference room will connect. You’ll be attaching these to a JitsiConference object. Jitsi nicely formats its track objects to make dealing with video and audio tracks to be similar, with concise syntax. JitsiTrack - this represents the stream you are sending to the server, be it video or audio.JitsiConference - this represents the conference, or the room, that you’re in, and is created using your verified JitsiConnection.JitsiConnection - this is the object that represents the connection between your client and the Jitsi server.Jitsi is abstracting this process for you with some core ideas which serve as its main components: It uses something called WebRTC, which provides a whole suite of functionality - but most relevantly for us, it can access local media devices (like your built-in camera and mic) and transmit those feeds to a peer. If you’re really new to this, a helpful base to start is to have a basic understanding of what lib-jitsi-meet is doing for you behind the scenes. In their own words, lib-jitsi-meet is “a low-level JS video API that allows adding a completely custom video experience to web apps.” Today, I want to lead you through the basics of setting up a simple instance of a video chat using this library. If this sounds like you, Jitsi provides a library that should be of great interest to you - lib-jitsi-meet. While this is really great and convenient, you might be looking for a higher degree of control - maybe your own video conferencing application with a customized UI and features of your own implementation. This client can be embedded into your web apps for immediate usage as well, using the external API. It provides its own fully fleshed out version ready for use right out of the box if you’d like to give it a spin. Jitsi is fully open-source, and it’s feature-rich, with all the hallmark functionalities of a complete video chat experience. Today, I want to introduce you to Jitsi - a suite of programs providing chat, voice, and video communication functionalities. Many of us are familiar with Zoom and its meteoric rise to prominence in 2020, but it’s only one of the several ways to see each other through a virtual window. A lot has changed in the world as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and much of communication has moved to virtual means - whether it’s for school, work, or socializing, the need for virtual communication tools has never been greater.
