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.

It's not in Jitsi, but it's worth the $5. https://store.steampowered.com/app/665360/Comedy_Night/
