It is possible to connect your Jitsi account to one of your Beekast sessions to share the link to your videoconference meeting directly in Beekast. Your participants will be able to find the access link in the home menu of your session and will only have to click on this link to join the meeting.
📝This is a premium feature; please consult our Pricing.
Add a Jitsi meeting to your session
Go to your account: from the home page, click your profile picture at the bottom left of the screen; from within a session, click your profile picture at the top right of the screen (top right corner).
Click Connected apps.
Enter your Jitsi account details.
Once logged in, a green button appears to confirm the connection.
Join a video conference (using Jitsi) associated with the Beekast session by clicking the “Visio” button on the right side of your page, on your session's toolbar.
💡Good to know
Your Jitsi login is only valid for one session.
Since custom Jitsi links are reusable (which could attract unwanted guests), Beekast automatically generates a unique, long, random link to guarantee the security and uniqueness of your meeting.
Note that all meetings created from Beekast will be deleted.
You can display the videoconference either in another tab or directly from your Beekast session: to do this, select either "In a floating window in Beekast" or "In a new browser tab".
⚠️Warning: Jitsi offers the Iframe window in demo versions of 5 minutes without a premium account, which means it is not possible to do the entire presentation with the floating window in Beekast. This factor is independant from Beekast.
Remove a Jitsi meeting
Click the red button.
Then click Remove the connection.
❓FAQ
Is this feature available on all Beekast accounts?
No, this is a premium feature. Consult our Pricing for more information.
Where do my participants find the Jitsi meeting link?
They find it in the home menu of the session and only need to click it to join the meeting.
Is my Jitsi login valid for all my sessions?
No, your Jitsi login is only valid for one session.
Why does Beekast generate a long, random link instead of using my custom Jitsi link?
Because custom Jitsi links are reusable, which could attract unwanted guests. Beekast therefore automatically generates a unique, long, random link to guarantee the security and uniqueness of your meeting.
How do I remove a Jitsi meeting from my session?
Click the red button, then click Remove the connection.
Can I use the Jitsi floating window for my entire presentation?
It depends on your Jitsi account: without a premium Jitsi account, the Iframe window is only available for a 5-minute demo, so it is not possible to do the entire presentation with the floating window in Beekast.
