It made me quite happy to be able to leave the meeting entirely. Do you think you could turn this into an Ad-hoc D&D dungeon so that when you leave, you could take a party out into the rest of the "office" and fight mutated paperclips, overstuffed file cabinets, and disorganized supply closets?

#12Would be cool to have a podium that a user can step up to and speak to all with no falloff. Perhaps with some sort of permission or nomination.

#13I have a standing virtual happy hour with some friends every week. If I can figure out how to get this to work with my docker/traefik deployment, I'll have to try it with my friend group and see how it works.
Thanks for creating and sharing this!

#14This is really neat. I logged in for a few seconds to check out the interface (should have taken a screenshot). The center of the meeting shows a large white square window and smaller colored squares indicating other meeting participants. You can drag your square (avatar) around the window to place yourself next to others. I have a standing virtual happy hour with some friends every week. If I can figure out how to g…
It's one additional line in `/use/share/jitsi-meet/index.html` to include a very small JS file that sets up a RPC pipe between my window and the Jitsi Meet window.
Other than that, I wore everything in vanilla JS and HTML5, so there aren't any other dependencies to manage, no build systems to run. Just dump the files somewhere (I'm running the front end in Azure CDN right now) and go.

#16I think this is great. Thanks! I'm new to jitsi, so is this audio only or can you get a video to work as well? Lots of interesting things. Great work.
I'm generally of the opinion that the video feed is useless in 90% of teleconferencing situations.

Jitsi does video by default. I turned it off because... The map is in the way, you won't see it. Plus, I plan to do customizable avatars. I'm generally of the opinion that the video feed is useless in 90% of teleconferencing situations.

I 90% agree with your opinion. A video does add some useful information, but 90% of the benefit could come from a small window of the person(s) you are talking to- maybe 90px by 90px.
