Create anonymous video call meetings

[koepferd]

Goal

Generate video call links for not registered users.

Jitsi

Jitsi doesn't support video conferences for a certain time frame.
A room will be created once a person joins and will be destroy once nobody is in the room anymore.

Ideas

Creating a detached video lobby

Create our own lobby for anonymous video calls (similiar to the waiting room for anonymous 1:1 chats).
In this scenario the current jitsi implementation wouldn't need to be adjusted.

1. counselor can create meeting (incl. date, time, description, link for meeting) in the core-app
2. meeting link: lobby for video calls
   • asker is joining before started: info texts
   • counselor is joining and can start a call → jitsi room will be created
   • on asker side: call is now active, asker can follow link/is redirected to room with counselor
3. meeting takes place, can be closed
4. meeting is deactivated (error message when opening link with invalid meeting id)

Jitsi iFrame

We include the jitsi meeting directly in the plattform by rendering the video call with the react-sdk from jitsi.
This will happen in an extra route like https://beratung.caritas.de/videoberatung which will be rendered without any wireframe or styling.

Pros:

• We have full control over the logged in user if logged in
• We could manage the video call appointments ourself when they start and when they have been finished (with waiting room management by using jitsi external api)
• We could remove the timeout when the rs will get the ringtone because we could send the event directly from the new route when jitsi gives the ready event
• We could manage the room before its started (activate lobby function without custom jitsi plugin, etc)
