Jitsi Video Conferencing Effects

NOTE: This was a GSoC 2020 proposal which was not implemented

Hats for Jitsi Meet

Task

Part of having a video conference should also be about having fun. The focus of this task is to add the ability to use “hats” or different effects on participants faces in order to make conferences more entertaining.

The implementation should be generic enough so different effects can be added: hats, glasses, facial hair, text, etc. The sky is the limit!

Example:

Required skills

• HTML5 knowledge (canvas API would be a plus)
• JavaScript
• React
• MediaStream API (not required, but recommended)
