BuddyMeet

विवरण

BuddyMeet is a BuddyPress (2.5+) plugin that uses Jitsi Meet to allow the members of a community to participate into virtual conference rooms with video and audio capabilities. BuddyMeet’s features include:

  • A room where all members of a group can meet each other
  • On demand rooms among specific invited group members
  • Automatic customization of the room’s subject and the name/avatar of the participants
  • Customization of all the parameters that Jitsi Meet API supports

Moreover, you can use the shortcode [buddymeet room=ROOM_HERE subject=SUBJECT_HERE] to add a conference room to any WordPress page. In that case, you have to pass any configuration by using the following shortcode parameters:

  • domain: The domain of the Jitsi Meet installation. BuddyMeet uses by default the 8×8.vc service.
  • room: The identifier of the room.
  • subject: The subject of the room. If empty the room is being displayed as the subject.
  • password: A password for the room. The first to enter the room sets that password and all other participants have to put it to enter.
  • show_watermark: Whether to show the Jitsi.org watermark or not.
  • show_brand_watermark: Whether to show a custom branded watermark or not.
  • brand_watermark_link: the custom brand watermark to show.
  • width: The width of the embedded window.
  • height: The height of the embedded window.
  • start_audio_only: Start the meet with the microphone only enabled and the camera off.
  • film_strip_only: Start the meet in filmstrip only mode.
  • disable_video_quality_label: Disable the video quality indicator.
  • mobile_open_in_browser: Launch the meet directly within the browser in mobile devices without opening the jitsi mobile app.
  • user: The user to display. Leave empty to automatically set the display name of the logged-in user.
  • avatar: The url with the avatar to display. Leave empty to automatically set the avatar of the logged-in user.
  • settings: A csv with the Jitsi Meet settings to get enabled. For the available options check here
  • toolbar: A csv with the Jitsi Meet toolbar options to get enabled. For the available options check here.
  • background_color: The background color of the window
  • default_language: The default language of the Jitsi Meet interface.

BuddyMeet uses by default the 8×8.vc service which is maintained by the Jitsi team at 8×8. Upon the initialization of a room, BuddyMeet sends the following information to the service:

  • The name of the current buddypress group as the subject of the call
  • The name, the surname and the avatar of the currently logged-in user

However, if you want to use your own hosted installation of Jitsi Meet, you can just configure the corresponding domain via the “Manage” menu of a BuddyPress group. For more information about Jitsi Meet please follow the links below:

प्रश्नोत्तर

If you have any question

Use the support forum of this plugin.

Jitsi Meet cannot access my microphone or camera

Jitsi Meet uses your browser’s API to ask for permissions to access your microphone or camera. In case you get an error that your device can not by accessed or used, please check one of the following:

  • Another application uses the device.
  • Your browsing context is insecure (that is, the page was loaded using HTTP rather than HTTPS).
  • You denied access to your browser when you were asked for.
  • You have denied globally access to all applications via your browser’s configuration

I cannot find the Settings page

BuddyMeet is mainly a BuddyPress plugins. It actually extends the BuddyPress Groups component by adding a new BuddyMeet menu page as well as a settings page accessible via the Manage menu of the Group. However, if you want to use BuddyMeet in any other WordPress page you can use the [buddymeet] shortcode. In that case the plugin just adds a room in the respective page by using the passed configuration parameters.

How can I create / switch among multiple rooms

That functionality is accessible only from inside a BuddyPress Group. For more information please check the previous FAQ entry.

Is it compatible with my theme?

If you experience any UI issues you can override the templates of the plugin by copying the templates/group folder to your theme and then customizing them as you wish.

JitsiMeetExternalAPI is not defined

If you get the above error please check if your site uses the “Rocket Loader” CloudFlare service. In that case you have to add – via your CloudFlare dashboard – a page rule with the setting “Rocket Loader”. That will disable the service for the page that reports the error. For more information on how to add a page rule check here.

I activated BudddyMeet and BuddyPress, but I cannot see anything

Please ensure that you have followed all instructions to properly setup BuddyPress (e.g. you have changed the default WordPress permalink settings). Also make sure that you have enabled the “Groups” component via the BuddyPress settings. After that create a group and in the creation wizard make sure you enabled BuddyMeet for that group.

Branded watermark is not displayed

Please note that this setting can only be used if you have set up your own Jitsi Meet server installation.
