Jitsi Meet is a powerful Peer-to-Peer (P2P) or
Selective Forwarding Unit (SFU),
WebRTC based, browser based,
Open Source video conferencing solution. It can also be used
for bringing the video/audio streams of presenters into a live event
production software like
OBS Studio or
an ingest software like
Vingester.
This form is just a parameter simplification trampoline, i.e., it takes a few intuitive URL
parameters and starts the underlying complex technical API of
Jitsi Meet. By default it uses the
free
meet.jit.si service.
This allows you to control
Jitsi Meet parameters at
a central place while being able to use clean, intuitive and stable URLs for both the
presenters and
OBS Studio
or
Vingester.
The underlying
Jitsi Meet
parameter sets are rather opinionated and hard-coded and are intended for
meeting or broadcast sessions with multiple presenters only.
