Hi Themis,

Feature request incoming!

I’ve been doing some reading around opening Jitsi Meet in a mobile browser.

There has been a big discussion of it on Github: Covid-19 has given a lot of impetus to requests for a version of Jitsi which opens directly in mobile Safari/Chrome.

While the work is definitely not finished yet, one of the senior 8×8 developers has posted on Github (link below):

We are comitting to implement this, that is, Jitsi Meet will be able to be opened from mobile browsers.

[…]

All of this work is ongoing, here is the start of the Safari work, for instance: #5798 (this might be a small PR, but more is coming).

If you want to using this now (note that it will only work on Android) you can do it like so:

• If you are self-hosting your own Jitsi-Meet instance: edit config.js and set disableDeepLinking: true,
• If you are using meet.jit.si, you can craft a URL like so: https://meet.jit.si/YourMeetingNameHere#config.disableDeepLinking=true
  The part after the # sign will override the default config and take you directly into the conference.”

feat: allow jitsi meet to be opened in a mobile browser #3518

Like @jonharari, I am very keen to be able to enable mobile users to connect directly in the browser. Might it be possible to add the new functionality from Jitsi Meet to make a setting as jonharari suggested, please?

Many thanks,

Chris
