Custom Jitsi server support

[rajil]

Steps to reproduce

Element does not honor jitsi custom server support following this. The call was initiated from iOS using the call button.

My nginx config is as follows:

    server {
        listen       443 ssl;
        server_name  mydomain.com;

        location /.well-known/matrix/server {
                 add_header Content-Type application/json; 
                 return 200 '{"m.server": "matrix.mydomain.com:443"}';
         }

        location /.well-known/matrix/client {
            add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*";
            add_header Content-Type "application/json";
 
            return 200 '{"im.vector.riot.jitsi": {"preferredDomain": "meet.mydomain.com"}}';
         }


    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/fullchain.pem; 
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/privkey.pem;

}

Unfortunately, Element iOS uses "domain": "jitsi.riot.im" instead of "meet.mydomain.com".

Outcome

What did you expect?

Element should use the jitsi server specified.

What happened instead?

It uses jitsi.riot.im. I also checked with the Android client and it uses the correct specified domain.

As in 2025 this still does not work as intended. I cleaned the cache and reinstalled my iOS Element app. While the Element Desktop correctly works with the custom jitsi address - the iOS app referrs to the https://jitsi.riot.im. This is particularly important for me since the jitsi.riot.im is now restricted in some areas, making the usage of group calls impossible for my family.
