nexo initiated a hiring request for a voice chat and call feature, proposing a system where users can initiate calls via a profile button, supporting both private and group calls. joebuhlig asked about specific API preferences, suggesting that rebuilding a video structure might be excessive. nexo clarified that they prefer using Mumble, outlining a workflow where a call request triggers a notification, and upon acceptance, a plugin creates a private Mumble room with restricted ACLs before connecting the users.
tobiaseigen suggested an alternative approach using a Skype-style widget that indicates user availability (green when logged in, grey when not). Finally, Falco announced that this functionality is no longer needed as a hiring task because it has been implemented as a core feature in Discourse, linking to the announcement of the new Discord-style voice and video rooms.
What would you like done?
I would like a voice chat/call feature. E.g. there’s a button on a user’s profile that says “Call” and you could start a voice call with the user, including group calls.
When do you need it done?
No time frame.
What is your budget, in $ USD that you can offer for this task?
We’ll discuss this.
Is there a specific API you’re wanting to use for this? Seems like overkill to rebuild a video structure.
@joebuhlig I’ve heard Mumble is good for this. Here’s the general idea:
For example:
Didn’t skype have a call me button widget you could put on your website? It would show green when logged in and grey when not logged in. Maybe that could be dispayed using a plugin on user cards and user profiles?
