Anyone from Jitsi on the fediverse?
Would love to have a chat with you about how we’re using Jitsi for Gaza Verified (https://gaza-verified.org).

2. Gaza Verified new automated sign up, scheduling, and verification process
  
  from Small Technology Foundation
  
  This is a one-minute demonstration of how people will register for verification using the new features launching on the Gaza Verified web site today. It shows a person entering their Mastodon URL, receiving a personal (public) verification link that they add to their Mastodon profile, pressing a button to check that the link has been added correctly, and, when it has, being taken to their private page on Gaza Verified showing their verification status. On the right-hand side of the screen, a separate browser window is open showing the administration interface open at the Interviews page. When the person’s interview is scheduled, it pops up in the list. The person then follows the video interview room link on their private page, which takes them to a private embedded Jitsi room and we can see them (surprise, it’s Aral) waving at the camera in the lobby. The person then goes back to their private page. Meanwhile, the verify button under their photo is clicked in the admin interface and their private page updates in real time to show their verified status. They then click the link to their public verification page and that, too, shows them as verified.

  @millerebonds Thanks, I’d be happy to give it a shot if you’re happy with us using it but we did try a self-hosted one from a friend earlier and it just didn’t work well enough for us to hold our video calls with Gaza.
  Would it be possible to put me in touch with the person/people who host this instance? :)

  @millerebonds Thanks, shot them an email to see if they’d be cool with us embedding from their instance for our use case :)

  @s Heya 👋
  Trying to :) (The five-minute limit on the live server for embeds is making it hard to carry out our 15-minute meetings but I talked to a sales person from 8x8 this morning and they’re going to ask around internally to see if they can sponsor us or something. Or we might end up trying to embed from someone else’s instance and see how the video/audio quality holds – we did try one self-hosted instance but it didn’t work well enough to hold the calls).
  💕

  @s Sadly, I did look into that.
  We have 3 people in a call (that’s three Monthly Active Users) per call. We have four calls a weekday, so that makes 15. Using four weeks for a month, that’s 60 MAU so that puts us into the JaaS Basic tier for $99/month.
  https://jaas.8x8.vc/#/pricing
  (It’s exists for enterprises, so I get it. It’s not for us.) :)
  * A Monthly Active User (MAU) is defined as a unique user who attended at least one meeting, with at least one other user, in the same month. A user is defined as a unique endpoint

  @aral You can probably just use the free tier of jaas.8x8.vc and embed that!

  @s Yeah, looks like lots of folks have instances so we can try. Self-hosting it in a way where you can hold calls without video/audio problems seems to be a non-trivial matter though.

  @aral If sales cannot get you a coupon, perhaps the instance of the FSF could be an option ?
