lib-jitsi-meet API (low level)

You can use Jitsi Meet API to create Jitsi Meet video conferences with a custom GUI.

Installation

To embed Jitsi Meet API in your application you need to add Jitsi Meet API library

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://meet.jit.si/libs/lib-jitsi-meet.min.js"></script>

Now you can access Jitsi Meet API through the JitsiMeetJS global object.

Getting Started

The first thing you must do in order to use Jitsi Meet API is to initialize JitsiMeetJS object:

JitsiMeetJS.init();

Then you must create the connection object:

var connection = new JitsiMeetJS.JitsiConnection(null, null, options);

Now we can attach some listeners to the connection object and establish the server connection:

connection.addEventListener(JitsiMeetJS.events.connection.CONNECTION_ESTABLISHED, onConnectionSuccess);
connection.addEventListener(JitsiMeetJS.events.connection.CONNECTION_FAILED, onConnectionFailed);
connection.addEventListener(JitsiMeetJS.events.connection.CONNECTION_DISCONNECTED, disconnect);

connection.connect();

After you receive the CONNECTION_ESTABLISHED event you are to create the JitsiConference object and also you may want to attach listeners for conference events (we are going to add handlers for remote track, conference joined, etc. ):

room = connection.initJitsiConference("conference1", confOptions);
room.on(JitsiMeetJS.events.conference.TRACK_ADDED, onRemoteTrack);
room.on(JitsiMeetJS.events.conference.CONFERENCE_JOINED, onConferenceJoined);

You also may want to get your local tracks from the camera and microphone:

JitsiMeetJS.createLocalTracks().then(onLocalTracks);

NOTE: Adding listeners and creating local streams are not mandatory steps.

Then you are ready to create / join a conference :

room.join();

After that step you are in the conference. Now you can continue with adding some code that will handle the events and manage the conference.

Components

Jitsi Meet API has the following components:

JitsiMeetJS
JitsiConnection
JitsiConference
JitsiTrack
JitsiTrackError

Usage

NOTE

JaaS customers, please follow this example or check out the live demo.

JitsiMeetJS

You can access the following methods and objects through JitsiMeetJS object.

JitsiMeetJS.init(options) - this method initialized Jitsi Meet API. The options parameter is JS object with the following properties:
- useIPv6 - boolean property
- disableSimulcast - boolean property. Enables/disables simulcast.
- enableWindowOnErrorHandler - boolean property (default false). Enables/disables attaching global onerror handler (window.onerror).
- disableThirdPartyRequests - if true - callstats will be disabled and the callstats API won't be included.
- enableAnalyticsLogging - boolean property (default false). Enables/disables analytics logging.
- externalStorage - Object that implements the Storage interface. If specified this object will be used for storing data instead of localStorage.
- callStatsCustomScriptUrl - (optional) custom url to access callstats client script
- useTurnUdp - boolean property (default false). Enables use of turn over udp for jvb. It is disabled because not very useful (if the client can use udp, it likely can connect to jvb directly over udp too; but it can be useful to still enable udp turn when an udp turn is known to be whitelisted on a network)
JitsiMeetJS.JitsiConnection - the JitsiConnection constructor. You can use that to create new server connection.
JitsiMeetJS.setLogLevel - changes the log level for the library. For example to have only error messages you should do:

JitsiMeetJS.setLogLevel(JitsiMeetJS.logLevels.ERROR);

JitsiMeetJS.createLocalTracks(options) - Creates the media tracks and returns them through Promise object. If rejected, passes JitsiTrackError instance to catch block.
- options - JS object with configuration options for the local media tracks. You can change the following properties there:
  1. devices - array with the devices - "desktop", "video" and "audio" that will be passed to GUM. If that property is not set GUM will try to get all available devices.
  2. resolution - the prefered resolution for the local video.
  3. constraints - the prefered encoding properties for the created track (replaces 'resolution' in newer releases of browsers)
  4. cameraDeviceId - the deviceID for the video device that is going to be used
  5. micDeviceId - the deviceID for the audio device that is going to be used
  6. minFps - the minimum frame rate for the video stream (passed to GUM)
  7. maxFps - the maximum frame rate for the video stream (passed to GUM)
  8. desktopSharingSourceDevice - The device id or label for a video input source that should be used for screensharing.
  9. facingMode - facing mode for a camera (possible values - 'user', 'environment')
  10. fireSlowPromiseEvent - optional boolean parameter. If set to true, JitsiMediaDevicesEvents.USER_MEDIA_SLOW_PROMISE_TIMEOUT will be fired when browser takes too long to resolve the gUM promise. This event is mutual exclusive with the above JitsiMediaDevicesEvents.PERMISSION_PROMPT_IS_SHOWN event
JitsiMeetJS.createTrackVADEmitter(localAudioDeviceId, sampleRate, vadProcessor) - Creates a TrackVADEmitter service that connects an audio track to a VAD (voice activity detection) processor in order to obtain VAD scores for individual PCM audio samples.
- localAudioDeviceId - The target local audio device.
- sampleRate - Sample rate at which the emitter will operate. Possible values 256, 512, 1024, 4096, 8192, 16384. Passing other values will default to closes neighbor, i.e. Providing a value of 4096 means that the emitter will process bundles of 4096 PCM samples at a time, higher values mean longer calls, lowers values mean more calls but shorter.
- vadProcessor - VAD Processors that does the actual compute on a PCM sample.The processor needs to implement the following functions:
  - getSampleLength() - Returns the sample size accepted by calculateAudioFrameVAD.
  - getRequiredPCMFrequency() - Returns the PCM frequency at which the processor operates .i.e. (16KHz, 44.1 KHz etc.)
  - calculateAudioFrameVAD(pcmSample) - Process a 32 float pcm sample of getSampleLength size.
JitsiMeetJS.enumerateDevices(callback) - DEPRECATED. Use JitsiMeetJS.mediaDevices.enumerateDevices(callback) instead.
JitsiMeetJS.isDeviceChangeAvailable(deviceType) - DEPRECATED. Use JitsiMeetJS.mediaDevices.isDeviceChangeAvailable(deviceType) instead.
JitsiMeetJS.isDesktopSharingEnabled() - returns true if desktop sharing is supported and false otherwise. NOTE: that method can be used after JitsiMeetJS.init(options) is completed otherwise the result will be always null.
JitsiMeetJS.getActiveAudioDevice() - goes through all audio devices on the system and returns information about one that is active, i.e. has audio signal. Returns a Promise resolving to an Object with the following structure:
- deviceId - string containing the device ID of the audio track found as active.
- deviceLabel - string containing the label of the audio device.
JitsiMeetJS.getGlobalOnErrorHandler() - returns function that can be used to be attached to window.onerror and if options.enableWindowOnErrorHandler is enabled returns the function used by the lib. (function(message, source, lineno, colno, error)).
JitsiMeetJS.mediaDevices - JS object that contains methods for interaction with media devices. Following methods are available:
- isDeviceListAvailable() - returns true if retrieving the device list is supported and false - otherwise
- isDeviceChangeAvailable(deviceType) - returns true if changing the input (camera / microphone) or output (audio) device is supported and false if not. deviceType is a type of device to change. Undefined or 'input' stands for input devices, 'output' - for audio output devices.
- enumerateDevices(callback) - returns list of the available devices as a parameter to the callback function. Every device is a MediaDeviceInfo object with the following properties:
  - label - the name of the device

  - groupId - group identifier, two devices have the same group identifier if they belong to the same physical device; for example a monitor with both a built-in camera and microphone
- setAudioOutputDevice(deviceId) - sets current audio output device. deviceId - id of 'audiooutput' device from JitsiMeetJS.enumerateDevices(), '' is for default device.
- getAudioOutputDevice() - returns currently used audio output device id, '' stands for default device.
- isDevicePermissionGranted(type) - returns a Promise which resolves to true if user granted permission to media devices. type - 'audio', 'video' or undefined. In case of undefined will check if both audio and video permissions were granted.
- addEventListener(event, handler) - attaches an event handler.
- removeEventListener(event, handler) - removes an event handler.
JitsiMeetJS.events - JS object that contains all events used by the API. You will need that JS object when you try to subscribe for connection or conference events. We have two event types - connection and conference. You can access the events with the following code JitsiMeetJS.events.<event_type>.<event_name>.

videoConstraints - Object that specifies the constraints in the following format.

{
   'lastN': 20, // Number of videos requested from the bridge.
   'selectedSources': ['A', 'B', 'C'], // The source names of the video tracks that are prioritized first.
   'onStageSources': ['A'], // The source names of the video tracks that are prioritized up to a higher resolution.
   'defaultConstraints': { 'maxHeight': 180 }, // Default resolution requested for all endpoints.
   'constraints': { // Source specific resolution.
       'A': { 'maxHeight': 720 }
   }
}

setSenderVideoConstraint(resolution) - set the desired resolution to send to JVB or the peer (180, 360, 720).

JitsiTrackError

The object represents error that happened to a JitsiTrack. Is inherited from JavaScript base Error object, so "name", "message" and "stack" properties are available. For GUM-related errors, exposes additional "gum" property, which is an object with following properties:

error - original GUM error
constraints - GUM constraints object used for the call
devices - array of devices requested in GUM call (possible values - "audio", "video", "screen", "desktop", "audiooutput")
