Option to join/start call as voice only

[IQ2022]

1- Not sure what is the future enhancement for the UI for the voice and VIDEO/Screen Share. People don't know how to find it or even operate it. - Also stop Button doesn't work to end chat on both ends.

2- Can we have the voice chat button added next to the audio recording? or even replace it or drop down? to select option.?Sometimes people just want to discuss voice vs typing. if its an issue we can dedicate a channel on the left. - we shouldn't forget the option to mute - in case someone wants to talk forever :).. or limit this to certain channels..

i know this was mentioned before, but lets consider use of Jitsi for the video share capability it has hangout features + Many thanks

New solution testing this week.

On https://demo.rocket.chat

When you are in a Direct Message or Private Group. You will notice a new video button on the toolbar , just click it anytime to start a video conference with all those in the room

@Sing-Li this new solution, I'm guessing we would have to run a jitsi-meet server as well (plus configure rocketchat to open a conference)?

Ref: RocketChat/feature-requests#736 (I'm suggesting we look at an integration with TokBox)

[compuguy]

@designgurudotorg If TokBox requires connecting to a remote server or service, that is a no go for a lot of corporations. That and that that service is useless on a airgapped network as well.

We should change "Video Chat" to "Video Call" and "Voice Call"

[geekgonecrazy]

For who ever works on this. The jitsi query string to start the the call audio only is: https://meet.jit.si/{ID}#config.startAudioOnly=false

config.startWithAudioMuted and config.startWithVideoMuted for audio and video respectively when joining

[Tom5421]

Do we have anymore updates on this functionality?
(Starting Audio or video calls separately)

[melroy89]

So Jitsi can already support audio calls only? .. why not implement a second button with the additional startAudioOnly=true parameter added to the Jitsi URL?

[aminvakil]

My Jitsi server is using jwt authentication method and it's been set on rocketchat which is working well.

For who ever works on this. The jitsi query string to start the the call audio only is: https://meet.jit.si/{ID}#config.startAudioOnly=false

config.startWithAudioMuted and config.startWithVideoMuted for audio and video respectively when joining

But when I add /{ID}#config.startAudioOnly=false to my domain, it starts asking username password.

I suppose it doesn't work with jwt(?).

Any ideas how to work it out with jwt authentication?

[fthiery]

My goal is to startAudioOnly all calls on rocketchat globally (by default). I i tried to set this up into the rocketchat jitsi settings (without any jwt) and it cannot find any way to have the #config.startAudioOnly=false as trailing argument, rocketchat always appends the random id...

Is that even doable right now ?

[fthiery]

Tried all combinations but i think it's not possible in the current state. I think that a "Custom suffix" field would do the trick and would allow for passing custom jitsi options simply.

[fthiery]

Indeed:

Rocket.Chat/app/livechat/server/api/v1/videoCall.js

Line 44 in 6ed0e44

room: rcSettings.get('Jitsi_URL_Room_Prefix') + rcSettings.get('uniqueID') + rid,

[fthiery]

FYI the latest release -3.4) should make this possible now. Just set #config.startAudioOnly=false to the newly added Jitsi room suffix.

I think this ticket can be closed
