feat: allow jitsi meet to be opened in a mobile browser #3518

riyadhzen · 2018-10-08T09:49:07Z

Allow jitsi meet to run on a mobile browser based on a config parameter in the "interface_config.js".

This topic came up a couple of times in the mailing list and the current solution as suggested here is not ideal.

This feature is really useful for audio only requirements in apps that integrate with jitsi meet through the external api.

Note: Running jitsi meet in the browser of a device is useless where webrtc is not supported.

Hi, thanks for your contribution!
If you haven't already done so, could you please make sure you sign our CLA (https://jitsi.org/icla for individuals and https://jitsi.org/ccla for corporations)? We would unfortunately be unable to merge your patch unless we have that piece :(.

riyadhzen · 2018-10-08T10:29:30Z

Already signed

saghul · 2018-10-08T13:57:25Z

We have done this on purpose. The experience is not designed for use in a mobile browser. That said, since it's an option which defaults to false (the current behavior), I find it acceptable. @jitsi/atlassian-devs thoughts?

SovietMan · 2019-08-02T14:51:03Z

I get why mobile access without app has been restricted, but I think we should allow the option on allowing mobile connections but limit them to voice only since that's probably WAY easier to keep the code working if we only have to worry about the voice side of things.

And the only change we would have to do for the mobile landing page is notifying them of the limitation to voice only and offer them a "connect anyway" button and the "download app" button.

rickgoud · 2020-03-22T08:59:00Z

Would indeed be very great if this could me merged to master and wrapped into stable. Would be great if users do not need to install an app first!

rsjr · 2020-03-25T13:15:01Z

Can this feature be merged? We are working on several projects related to Covid19 (related to telemedicine for people in quarentine) and this is very important as the majority of the users won't have Jitsi app installed

chamerling · 2020-03-26T09:51:21Z

Hello @saghul, all,

Being able to open jitsi on (at least) a tablet should be OK on the UI side. If I am not wrong, most of the OS now supports everything required to have jitsi running correctly on such devices.
This PR from @riyadhzen does not break everything else and just adds a variable in the configuration and so it will be really nice, since the dev community is asking for it, to have this PR reviewed and merged. If you think that more is needed to have this feature, please ask.

Thanks a lot

saghul · 2020-03-26T10:13:45Z

I'll bring it up with the team once more.

rsjr · 2020-03-27T14:42:37Z

Hi @chamerling @saghul . I am sorry to bother you with this again, but can you please prioritize this merge? Thanks!

saghul · 2020-03-27T14:51:53Z

We cannot land it as is. We now have plans to allow this, but we need to make some extra changes first.

frobinsonj · 2020-03-28T09:00:42Z

We cannot land it as is. We now have plans to allow this, but we need to make some extra changes first.

If there is any way I can contribute to speed this up, I would be more than happy to. I am sure there are others who would be eager as well.

chamerling · 2020-03-28T10:13:06Z

@saghul can you give more details about the "extra changes"?

wmikun · 2020-03-28T12:42:06Z

@saghul may you please provide more information regarding expected timeline? This is an urgently needed feature. Thank you!

daxiondi · 2020-08-14T04:13:35Z

Hope the community can reconsider and make jitsi work in mobile browsers

saghul · 2020-08-14T08:24:09Z

This has already been implemented and it's rolled out in production in meet.jit.si. You'll now see a button which says "Launch in web".

Vacika · 2020-08-14T13:19:11Z

It seems that the issue about toggling the video camera on/off when accessing via mobile browser still persists.
Could you check this up?
Thanks.

saghul · 2020-08-14T17:49:35Z

That should be fixed too. If it isn't, please do open a new issue.

daxiondi · 2020-08-17T02:04:13Z

I tested in meet.jitsi.si Can see the start network button.
I use the site of quick installation, but unfortunately did not see
what do I need to do to make my site can and meet.jitsi.si It works as well

daxiondi · 2020-08-19T01:42:29Z

这已经实施，并已在met.jit.si中正式投入生产。现在，您将看到一个按钮，上面显示“启动网络”。

What version of jitsi meet can see the above changes, looking forward to your reply.

daxiondi · 2020-08-20T09:27:37Z

@saghul Waiting for your reply.

Aokromes · 2020-09-02T06:49:53Z

I tried to test it on LosQ (lineageos fork) browser and i get error obtaining camera (and microphone) permision a lot of blablabla you can use camera button on browser bar (but i don't see any)
Tried with bromite and works fine.

alejandroparra · 2020-09-04T13:20:50Z

Pretty sure most of you are making changes in wrong place. You might be doing in /usr/share/jitsi-meet-web-config/config.js or /usr/share/jitsi-meet/interface_config.js

Both are wrong

You need to modify /etc/jitsi/meet/yourwebsite.com-config.js file.

And you need to uncomment that line and set the value to true for the setting to work.
Change from
// disableDeepLinking: false,

To

disableDeepLinking: true,

You dont need to even restart the services. It works immediately.

This is the Final solution, it works like charm

dinesh192 · 2020-10-15T10:45:19Z

Still, I am not getting a fix for it. Video is not opening in the Mobile browser. I tried using the startWithVideoMuted: false but not working

mcote7 · 2020-12-13T05:28:38Z

Hi, i'm trying

disableDeepLinking: true

in the config.js file

Is there anything else i should do? tried restart services, system but changes doesn't apply for some reason.

Edit. I only got it working forcing chrome to load the desktop website.
Edit2. It works when i force the option like this:

https://URL of yourserver.com/room#config.disableDeepLinking=true

Thanks

i think also need = {prejoinPageEnabled: false}

vijaylincod · 2021-01-12T08:25:27Z

is there any way to open directly in mobile web browser without any popup.

saghul · 2021-01-12T08:39:09Z

No, sorry.

Hey Thanks alot, that solves the issue for me, but I'm wondering what is deepLinking and what are we losing on by disabling that, any bugs? I'm using this is in an online classroom feature, where hundreds of students will join, will this affect any functionalities by any chance, thanks alot.

ahmadzt · 2022-06-28T23:26:07Z

if anyone looking for answer on 2022, it should be something like this

<Jitsi
  config={{
    disableDeepLinking: true,
    prejoinConfig: false,
  }}
/>
