#22This is great!
I was toying around with the idea of building some sort virtual comedy stage. It would be a web conference with one person streaming audio and video and everyone else is audience with audio only to have audience/laughter track. Anyone build something similar on jitsi?

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.
Unfortunately, not going to work with how Jitsi does their Web API through an iframe. Ol' OpenTok, before they got bought out by Vonage, could have been used because they inftected new DOM elements into the current page. But with the Jisti Meet interface timing in an iframe, I just don't have enough access to composite things like that.
They also have a more low-level API! (There is an example app in the /doc folder, it looked reasonable to use)

Cool, I was looking for something like this but didn't find it.
Also, reminds me that I need to submit a pull request for their iframe API, because I stumbled on some missing information in it. Luckily, was pretty easy to guess at the right values.

Should be pretty easy with the basic iframe API. I spent more time trying to figure out a cheap way to host everything than I did building the functionality.

Re: Show HN: 2D Tilemap on Top of Jitsi Meet
#27We had a really similar idea!
Leaned in way more on the 2d game aspect of it, and have video drop-off too, but the place it came from: "being able to have multiple conversations in the same shared space without hearing everyone at the same time" is the same.

The backstory to REAMDE is that an MMORPG turns out to also be a really good platform for teleconferencing. Gradually more and more business moves into this MMORPG until the company releases a "business version" and a significant proportion of the world economy is run through what is essentially a professional version of WoW.

Sounds like ready player one before the contest. When did it come out?
