Quiz question Is there a way to integrate Jitsi into Mattermost?

Hi friends,

Is there a corresponding plugin for MM? And if so, can it be easily integrated?

IiRC you can start a jitsy chanel from mattermost, no need to host the jisty services

Hi @stephdl

If I remember correctly, in the current MM version of NS8 it is not possible to install additional plugins from their marketplace. Or I have overlooked a setting in the admin panel…

manually you need to enable the file upload I think but not tested (in the config.json) then you can upload custom plugin

It’s also possible to install manually:

Install wget:

dnf install wget

Enter MM environment:

runagent -m mattermost1

Download the jitsi plugin:

wget https://github.com/mattermost-community/mattermost-plugin-jitsi/releases/download/v2.1.0/jitsi-2.1.0.tar.gz

Extract the plugin:

tar -xzf jitsi-2.1.0.tar.gz

Copy plugin into jitsi container:

podman cp jitsi mattermost-app:/mattermost/plugins/

Now the plugin can be enabled and configured in the MM system console:

Hi @mrmarkuz

Generally it works. But the 2FA authentication set up in MM does not work when you set up a conference via the plugin. My hope was that this would provide a little more security for Jitsi.
