Questions? Ping us on our community forum. Good luck to you all!

Jitsi Meet
“Show your face” prompts for Jitsi Meet Detect when a user’s face is not well positioned and prompt them to move to the center	Speech-to-text in Jitsi Meet Integrate one of the available speech-to-text APIs with Jitsi Meet to create a transcript of a conference.	Video Smileys Ever wished you could throw a bouquet of flowers or confetti at a conference speaker? How about hearts or popcorn? This is what this project is about!	Hair-check screen A “hair-check” screen in Jitsi Meet which allows the user to adjust their camera before entering a conference.

Jitsi Meet in Electron
Electron Goodies Implement improvements for Jitsi Meet’s Electron app such as: a native settings panel, automatic updates, custom URL scheme and a new welcome page (similar to the mobile one) which will go to meet.jit.si if no full URL is specified, or to the specified one otherwise.	Small remote view when minimized Implement a mode in which the remote view is rendered small if the Electron app is minimized or goes out of focus.	Welcome Page for Rooms Imagine this: you setup Jitsi Meet (through Electron or your browser) in a meeting room. Then imagine that this gives you a view of the Google calendar for that room showing all meetings planned for there. You can select to start a meeting with just the arrows, a tap on a touchscreen, flashing a QR code on that welcome page, or by detecting the BT beacon signal emitted by the computer. Sounds fun, no? :)

Jitsi Desktop
Bitrate adaptation in Jitsi Implement bitrate adaptation for video in the Jitsi desktop client.	Mavenize Jitsi Work on finalizing the mavenization of Jitsi.	Add OMEMO support to Jitsi Use Smack’s OMEMO support and make it available in Jitsi.	Smiley fonts Replace the ChatConversationPanel in Jitsi Desktop with a JavaFX component in order to allow smiley fonts.
