This is great!
I was toying around with the idea of building some sort virtual comedy stage. It would be a web conference with one person streaming audio and video and everyone else is audience with audio only to have audience/laughter track. Anyone build something similar on jitsi?
I made a prototype a week ago with a face recognition engine on the frontend, connecting into the Jitsi JavaScript API, running my own Jitsi server on DigitalOcean.
The result: the video conferencing only showed faces! Imagine the possibilities of moving those faces around a stage, or using virtual cutouts where the faces would appear, etc.
It was very very fun, I have screenshots of 10 people connecting at once -- hit me up if you want to pursue something :-)
Should be pretty easy with the basic iframe API. I spent more time trying to figure out a cheap way to host everything than I did building the functionality.
