not an issue, but a requeste
Hi, Jitsi is a great tool, but I have had problems on sharing videos with my students because it only accepts Youtube Videos or mainstream platform videos. Since, jitsi-meet is opensource, could you, by default (meaning that we do not need to contact every jitsi free provider to add this feature), the capacity for us to circumvent Youtube and share their videos through Invidious, which is also an opensource project? https://github.com/iv-org/invidious Invidious can share Youtube videos through many ports we call Instances. Thx a lot.
Does that support the YT iframe API? Because that's what we use to display them. If it does, then it should be attainable to do.
Hi I'm a maintainer at invidious.
What's the youtube iframe API? Could you give an example?
Do you mean the ability to embed a video inside an iframe like it's already possible with youtube?
Thanks for chiming in!
This is what we currently use to embed the videos: https://developers.google.com/youtube/iframe_api_reference
We sync the playbacks by updating seek positions as the sharer does it, so we'd need that for instance, for a matching experience.
Mmh there is no similar support in Invidious natively.
We internally use the well-known VideoJS for our video player, I tried to find a plugin that offer such functionality but no hope. If any of you two find a plugin for that, don't hesitate to tell me.
If no such functionality exist, then I'm really sorry, but we can't develop this functionality ourselves because we don't have enough volunteers in our team for that.
Perfectly reasonable, thanks for taking a look nevertheless!
