Bitlab Media Group Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Does anybody know of a LIVE VIDEO/CAM/CHAT app, widget, etc.. that can be used on the IPS system? I asked years ago, but wondering what is available tech wise as of today. Thanks for any info. ±saraJ. kmk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahc Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) I don't recommend a company currently in a lawsuit for illegally selling user's data and supporting CPC propaganda by suppressing activists against the inhumane treatment under the current Communist regime. That being said, Arrowchat is compatible with IPS and just had a major update to its software. https://www.arrowchat.com/ Edited July 6, 2020 by ahc The Guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guy Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Arrowchat looks more platformish already. Not sure how it would integrate well with IPS Systems. I'm in agreement with Zoom being sketchy. Perhaps IPS should have its own Video Chat App. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can choose your colors and modify the styles a bit with some css if you need a bit more. We used it from 4.2 to 4.4 and nixed it because of the heavy use of Discord these days, but it's decent for anyone who mainly needs instant chat that integrates your website members.

Morgin Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 On 7/6/2020 at 11:42 AM, The Guy said: Perhaps IPS should have its own Video Chat App. Supporting video chat requires a platform and company that is probably at a minimum twice the size of Invision is currently just to deal with the rapidly changing landscape and support requirements. There’s a reason companies that succeed try to focus on doing a few things extremely well vs. trying to do everything and having half baked and poorly supported versions as a result. I’d love for Invision as a company to be so successful that they could grow into other markets, but at the moment they are doing a great job of community software. Stepping up to try to compete with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, etc. to provide a video chat solution would not be a great outcome without a few hundred million in cash to burn to hang with the big players are try to hive off market share.

DanLemX Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 You could probably integrate Jitsi Meet into IPB for a video chat solution. Would be a nice application indeed if someone developped it. cfish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel R Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 There are several chat applications in the iPS Marketplace, including Babble by @CodingJungle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are already a few plugins for Wordpress in the zoom marketplace. If not zoom because of the controversy, someone similar with an available developer API. You can also always look to go the zapier route.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Douglas Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Zoom is everywhere. Is it possible to integrate into an Invision website? Seems like people are saying it is sketchy, but it is EVERYWHERE and seems like a great solution to add video chat/conferencing/meetings to a forum based member website. Anyway,I have added a couple of marketplace chat apps to my site, but being able to embed Zoom Pro ($15/month), to my site would be so much more value added. If this is possible already, if someone could direct me to a "how to" faq that would be greatly appreciated. Max 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joy Rex Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 What would stop anyone from putting Zoom meeting links in posts? I don't see why something like video chat (which needs most if not all of the screen) needs to be embedded. Video chat by nature isn't like a text-based chat room where it is just 'on' waiting for someone to join (because that eats up resources and bandwidth)...
