Spreed: Plans to add SIP calling or other integration with a PXB server?

[zguithues]

The recent work done on this looks great! I'm excited to try it once i upgrade to Nextcloud 13.

Has there been any consideration towards adding actual phone call support to the platform? An easy implementation may be to add sip calling, allowing the app to connect to an external PBX server.

I've been using a project called WAZO for my office cloud PBX. It's fully open source, including their webRTC client. they're also working to api'ify the entire Asterisk platform into a Rest API. There are many potentials for integration, potentially including a phone call as 2 factor authentication.

SIP is already in the manufactoring as far as I know.

@nickvergessen uhh this is exciting. can you already give any details?

[nickvergessen]

SIP bridge is listed in https://nextcloud.com/talk/ so should be available in the near future.
I also tested it last week and it was working :)

From what I can see Nextcloud Talk is only between users and not able to connect to a sip server. Please correct me as I hope I am wrong

[nickvergessen]

Well there is a external signaling server which includes a MCU. In this case the connections are not peer-to-peer anymore, and that is where the SIP bridge jumps in and is possible.

@nickvergessen Thanks for your reply, Can you go into more detail about how this would work or the structure

[nickvergessen]

Well, it is a signaling server which also includes an MCU and a SIP bridge. What more should I describe.

Is it possible to change this MCU and use a private SIP brifge and MCU?

[nickvergessen]

Well the MCU needs to know all signaling messages and transmit them accordingly, so you need the signaling server anyway. So the all-in-one bundle is the only thing that makes sense.
