I see it as the first step in simplifying the route navigate of the JavaScript app by removing BlankWelcomePage from _getRouteToRender. From a faraway point of view, the app is at the route at which it is not in a conference. Historically, the route was known as the Welcome page. But mobile complicated the route by saying that actually it may not want to see the room name input and join button. Additionally, I renamed BlankWelcomePage to BlankPage because I don't think of it as a WelcomePage alternative but rather as a more generic BlankPage which may be utilized elsewhere in the future. I plan for the next steps to: * Merge Entryway, _interceptComponent, and _getRouteToRender in one React Component rendered by AbstractApp so that the whole logic is in one file; * Get rid of RouteRegistry and routes. |

Jitsi Meet - Secure, Simple and Scalable Video Conferences
Jitsi Meet is an open-source (Apache) WebRTC JavaScript application that uses Jitsi Videobridge to provide high quality, scalable video conferences. You can see Jitsi Meet in action here at the session #482 of the VoIP Users Conference.
You can also try it out yourself at https://meet.jit.si .
Jitsi Meet allows for very efficient collaboration. It allows users to stream their desktop or only some windows. It also supports shared document editing with Etherpad.
Installation
Installing Jitsi Meet is quite a simple experience. For Debian-based systems, we recommend following the quick-install document, which uses the package system.
For other systems, or if you wish to install all components manually, see the detailed manual installation instructions.
Download
You can download Debian/Ubuntu binaries:
You can download source archives (produced by make source-package):
You can get our mobile versions from here:
Building the sources
Node.js >= 6 is required.
On Debian/Ubuntu systems, the required packages can be installed with:
sudo apt-get install npm nodejs-legacy
cd jitsi-meet
npm install
To build the Jitsi Meet application, just type
make
Working with the library sources (lib-jitsi-meet)
By default the library is build from its git repository sources. The default dependency path in package.json is :
"lib-jitsi-meet": "jitsi/lib-jitsi-meet",
To work with local copy you must change the path to:
"lib-jitsi-meet": "file:///Users/name/local-lib-jitsi-meet-copy",
To make the project you must force it to take the sources as 'npm update' will not do it.
npm install lib-jitsi-meet --force && make
Or if you are making only changes to the library:
npm install lib-jitsi-meet --force && make deploy-lib-jitsi-meet
Alternative way is to use npm link.
It allows to link lib-jitsi-meet dependency to local source in few steps:
cd lib-jitsi-meet
# create global symlink for lib-jitsi-meet package
npm link
cd ../jitsi-meet
# create symlink from the local node_modules folder to the global lib-jitsi-meet symlink
npm link lib-jitsi-meet
So now after changes in local lib-jitsi-meet repository you can rebuild it with npm run install and your jitsi-meet repository will use that modified library.
Note: when using node version 4.x, the make file of jitsi-meet do npm update which will delete the link, no longer the case with version 6.x.
If you do not want to use local repository anymore you should run
cd jitsi-meet
npm unlink lib-jitsi-meet
npm install

Embedding in external applications
Jitsi Meet provides a very flexible way of embedding it in external applications by using the Jitsi Meet API.
Mobile app
Jitsi Meet is also available as a React Native application for Android and iOS. Instructions on how to build it can be found here.
Acknowledgements
Jitsi Meet started out as a sample conferencing application using Jitsi Videobridge. It was originally developed by then ESTOS' developer Philipp Hancke who then contributed it to the community where development continues with joint forces!
