[nodebb-plugin-webrtc] WebRTC in Chats (Video Calling)
-
The story behind this plugin doesn't seem to be here, so I'll post it now. I was going to make a complete revamp of this plugin based on rooms instead of 1 on 1 chat as a job for someone on this forum, I was pretty far along until that someone turned out to be a scammer. I never gave him any of the code but I didn't have any motivation to work on the plugin after that. I'd still like to finish it sometime but the lack of a proper WebRTC framework that suited my needs made things a lot harder. @pitaj I haven't looked at it extensively so I don't know if it would be suited for this plugin yet.
It doesn't really help that I'm also just really busy with a lot of other things right now. For NodeBB plugins my current schedule is:
- Large refactor of the shoutbox, fix all the bugs
- Pretty much rewrite the poll plugin
- Fix other plugins (EVE, WoW, how long ago did I promise to work on that? Is it even still relevant? @Tanner @Chris might want to PM me about this)
- Continue dev on The Botler or another plugin, maybe this one, maybe a new one.
I've gotten a bit more time to work on my own plugins lately and I've been busy with the shoutbox plugin so far because it's the highest priority for me. I'll make some posts in each plugins' thread when there's some news.

Has anyone tested this with node bb 1.6 version ? does it work well ?
-
@faizanzahid I doubt it'll even start. Feel free to try though.

Hi, what's up with this? Employee? Does not work?
Are there other plugins that replace it?
Just need it urgently... -
@LEVI-HAVIV I think this was mostly a proof-of-concept plugin. If you're looking for something like this, we could build out an implementation with something like jitsi, which is a lot easier than trying to handle all the videoconf logic on our own.
-
Yes, it's a good idea, I tried jitsi once, it's a simple and convenient thing, but it needs to be adapted to nodebb... their iframe api is very simple.
If we open something like this it will be something that will help a lot of managers.
If you want to install - you can start with this:

Ok, so in the end.
I installed full jisti on my server, built a custom forum page that has buttons to start a meeting, and join the meeting. I added some js for the user's convenience, for example full screen.
For now, it's working very well. -
I thought about it,
It's not that complicated at all.
The question is what kind of meeting are we going for...
About a big meeting, with screen sharing, moderators, etc.
Or you go for a type of personal meeting, like the original idea, that there is such a button in the chat, of a conversation, and then it's like a WhatsApp conversation, where you just see each other... That's it, without extensive options...@julian what are you saying?
