Jitsi Meet + Planning Center Groups
Help Jitsi Server Notification SenderWhat is this?
This is a tool that bridges the gap between the open source video conferencing solution jitsi-meet and Planning Center Online Groups.
How does this work?
You can login with your Planning Center Online account. The site uses Oauth2 to authenticate you with Planning Center Online. You can revoke access at anytime at: https://api.planningcenteronline.com/access_tokens.
Once you are logged in then you can do three things:
- Add your own jitsi server configuration. PCO Chef isn't currently hosting open jitsi servers, though I'd consider it if enough people ask for it.
- Send emails containing personal jitsi links to an entire small group.
- Access the individually generated links for members of a small group.
What's included in the emails?
The emails look like this:
What do I need to make this work?
You need a jitsi-meet server. I recomend a virtual private server in the cloud that will run a docker container. The upload and download speed of your server is really important. The docker-jitsi-meet project is pretty simple if you're familiar with docker. You'll then need to configure your jitsi-meet server to use jwt authentication. Finally you'll need the PUBLIC URL, JWT_APP_ID, JWT_APP_SECRET. Set these in the Jitsi Configuration Page
How Much Does This Cost?
This is free for as long as the email notification cost is low. I pay for this all out of pocket. If it's abused or the cost gets too high then I'll reevaluate.
