The difference in the ability of a developer to modify an open source software product (think: Gimp or Jitsi Meet) to suit their needs versus using a platform SDK that is designed to provide flexibility and to be used by devs is massive.
I spent some time looking at the Jitsi Meet source to confirm this assertion:
https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/ https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/
It was quite clear that trying to use that code to execute my use case above would have been a very large waste of time, and quite possibly (given the lack of docs) a futile exercise.

- crabasa 7y agoI read and re-read this "examples" docs page several times: https://github.com/jitsi/lib-jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/API.md https://github.com/jitsi/lib-jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/API.... Hats off to anyone who can rapidly go from those docs to a deployed and working app. I was able to modify the repo linked in the parent to suit my needs in roughly 2-3 hours, much of which was install/setup.
