Jitsi-meet: [iOS sdk] How to set user's display name?

[manuroe]

Hi,

is there a way to set up user's displayname, avatar and email using the iOS sdk?
Maybe some keys to pass to [JitsiMeetView loadURLObject:]?

Thanks

[saghul]

That's not supported yet.

Hello,

I would like to set a display name for people on mobiles, so that users using computers could see their names. When will it be supported?

Thanks

You may use a jwt key in the loadURLObject: dictionary to specify the display name and avatar of the mobile participant as part of jitsi-meet (both Web and mobile)'s support of JWT. I'll have to get back to you if you don't manage to figure it out in the doc directories of jitsi/jitsi-meet, jitsi/lib-jitsi-meet - I'm finding it difficult to find useful documentation myself right now.

@manuroe and @jean-ben-guigui, the awesome @aaronkvanmeerten documented for you the format of the JWT which allows you to specify the display name (and avatar) of the mobile user by specifying the jwt key to loadURLObject:: https://github.com/jitsi/lib-jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/tokens.md#payload

[jean-ben-guigui]

Well, I tried to use loadUrlObject to pass an object containing my user name but that doesn't do much. Do I need to implement the all jwt thing? I don't really need the authentication part for now, i'd just like to give my users a name.
Thanks

[saghul]

@jean-ben-guigui Yes, you need to do it this way until we add UI controls for changing those. The jwt won't be used for auth.

[jean-ben-guigui]

If it's not too much I'd need a little bit more help to get it done. I managed to configure prosody to accept jwt. I create a jwt token using the following payload.

When I try to connect to a room using a url like this : 'https://myserverjitsi/roomname?jwt="eyJhbGc..."', I get these errors

So jitsi-meet is trying to get my avatar, that's a good news (even if it is not succeedding). But what should be configured so that I don't get a passwordRequired error?

[saghul]

You don't need to use JWT authentication, just filling the caller part of it should be enough to configure the local display name and avatar.

[jean-ben-guigui]

Indeed that works, my bad.

Thanks a lot!

[saghul]

I'm glad it works for you now! Time to close this then!

@saghul @jean-ben-guigui The payload write in the js code or Java???

I tried to use loadUrlObject to pass an object containing my user name to display but it's not working.Display Name is not displayed at Other clien's. My loadUrlObject code is as below

@{@"config": @{
@"startWithAudioMuted": @NO,
@"startWithVideoMuted": @NO
},
@"url": @"https://meet.jit.si/test123",
@"context": @{
@"user": @{
@"avatar": @"https:/gravatar.com/avatar/abc123",
@"name": @"Tanim",
@"email": @"tanim.cse.[email protected]",
@"id": @"1"
},
@"group": @"test123"
},
@"aud": @"jitsi",
@"iss": @"my_client",
@"sub": @"meet.jit.si",
@"room": @"test123",
@"exp": @1500006923

Can anyone please help with sample loadUrlObject call?

[jean-ben-guigui]

Hello! If I remember correctly, the loaUrlObject should be like this:
{@"jwt": @"yourjwt"}

To make your jwt, just go on this site https://jwt.io/. There is a section _Debugger_ that you can use to encode a payload (the payload should be as described here https://github.com/jitsi/lib-jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/tokens.md#payload).
Now if you want to create a jwt dynamically, you can take a look at the _Libraries for Token Signing/Verification_ section.

[MehediHasanTanim]

Thanks for your reply.It works now. Another problem is display name is displayed at web client which we set from iOS client but iOS client does not display any display name set from web/iOS client at call UI.It only shows display name when any connectivity issue occurs

[jean-ben-guigui]

IOS client just don't display display names at all. It is not yet implemented as far as I know.

Hi i need another help. is it possible to programmatically hangup a call from iOS client? i don't find any method in iOS jitsi-meet sdk documentation.

[saghul]

You can load a null URL.

Or dismiss/pop the

Hi i need another help. is it possible to programmatically hangup a call from iOS client? i don't find any method in iOS jitsi-meet sdk documentation.

As @saghul said, or dismiss/pop your view controller which contains call view.

looks like someone has added it now....

let options = JitsiMeetConferenceOptions.fromBuilder { builder in 
builder.userinfo?.displayName = ""
builder.userinfo?.displayName = URL(string: "")
}
