Jitsi-meet: Suggest participants to set their name

[vlsi]

Currently users join with a default name of "Fellow Jitster".

It looks like everybody misses that they can really have a name.

I suggest:
1) Make "rename me" user-visible.
2) Randomize default usernames so user names look funny

Hello,

is there any solution for above I'm also looking for some solution for this.
Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks,
Ankit

If you are using your own deployment you can toggle this option: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/bb0036fdabd0cb8f4fc127acd50d98a17f06d894/config.js#L248

It's unlikely we ever turn it on for meet.jit.si, since we want people to remain anonymous, should they want to.

[ankathiriya]

Thanks for your reply.

But is there any way to do in iOS SDk?
As we are going to use Jitsi for native android and iOS app.

Looking forward to hear from you.

[saghul]

This is not a web thing. It's part of the deployment. The mobile app will read config.js and act accordingly.

[ankathiriya]

Thanks @saghul for quick response.
Is there any doc for same . So I can follow same.and how can I read config.js file in my app ?

Your response will help full for me.

[saghul]

Not sure I follow. If you use the SDK as is, it will have https://meet.jit.si as the default server, so https://meet.jit.si/config.js will be used. If you set your own server (check the android and ios READMEs, they show how to change the server) then your own config file will be used and then it's up to you what values to set.

[ankathiriya]

okay thanks @saghul

let me apply same to my side and server side.

[ankathiriya]

Hello @saghul

as per your suggestion we did update config file to hide text like "Fello Jitster".

But still its not working.You can check my config file from this link

Let me know if we need to make any further changes.Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks.

[saghul]

I still see requireDisplayName set to false.

[ankathiriya]

@saghul again I wants to confirm with you that to hide that text we need to set it "true" ?

[ankathiriya]

Hello @saghul

I checked it with true and false both and its not working at all.

let options = JitsiMeetConferenceOptions.fromBuilder { (builder) in
builder.welcomePageEnabled = false
builder.serverURL = URL.init(string: "https://video.kanonhealth.com/")
builder.room = self.strRoomID
builder.audioOnly = false
builder.subject = APPNAME
builder.userInfo?.displayName = UserDefaultManager.getStringFromUserDefaults(key: kAppUserName)
builder.setFeatureFlag("chat.enabled", withBoolean: false)
}

please check my code and let me know if I'm making any mistakes in that.

[saghul]

I think I misunderstood. Setting that to true should request the user to enter a name upon joining, it won't magically hide the test.

If you are passing the display name in userInfo, however, that one should be the one used. Is this not working for you?

[ankathiriya]

@saghul no its not working at all :(

[saghul]

Can you confirm builder.userInfo is not null? What does UserDefaultManager.getStringFromUserDefaults(key: kAppUserName contain? Can you paste the logs when cakll is joined?

[ankathiriya]

Could you please check I pass static string but still its showing nil.

[saghul]

I thin it's because you need to create a UserInfo object and then assign displayName to it, and assign the userInfo object to build.

[ankathiriya]

its working after creating UserInfo object.

Thanks for your support. @saghul

[saghul]

Glad to hear! I'm closing this now then.

I think this could be also implemented on per-meeting base, not only on per-server base.

Here is the code to change the username

let userInfo = JitsiMeetUserInfo()
userInfo.displayName = "FirstName LastName"
builder.userInfo = userInfo
