Hovarn Meet

live class

Live classes with a waiting room, raised hands, recording and attendance that marks itself.

PreviewHow to embed it

A live Biology class in the demo: 38 joined, hands raised, recording on.

What it does

A lobby with camera and microphone check before joining
Waiting room, admit all, hands raised in order, mute all

Attendance taken from who joined and for how long
Chat, poll and tile view inside the class

Who it's for

Teachers taking online or hybrid batches; students joining from phones or laptops.

How another app uses it

Not a separate embed yet. Today Hovarn Meet runs inside the app's live-class pages, on the Jitsi Meet IFrame API, with our own lobby, controls and attendance around it:

How the module opens a room today (inside the live-class page)

const api = new JitsiMeetExternalAPI('meet.jit.si', {
  roomName: ROOM, parentNode: document.querySelector('#lv-jitsi'),
  userInfo: { displayName: ME },
  configOverwrite: { prejoinPageEnabled: false, disableDeepLinking: true,
                     startWithAudioMuted: !mic, startWithVideoMuted: !cam },
  interfaceConfigOverwrite: { SHOW_JITSI_WATERMARK: false }
});

Where it stands Preview

Working in the demo on the public meet.jit.si service, which asks the first person in a room to sign in. The video area can only be partly styled there; full own-brand video needs a hosted Jitsi (JaaS) or a self-hosted server, which is planned.
