# Jitsi
The playbook can install the [Jitsi](https://jitsi.org/) video-conferencing platform and integrate it with [Riot](configuring-playbook-riot-web.md).
Jitsi installation is **not enabled by default**, because it's not a core component of Matrix services.
The setup done by the playbook is very similar to [docker-jitsi-meet](https://github.com/jitsi/docker-jitsi-meet).
## Prerequisites
Before installing Jitsi, make sure you've created the `jitsi.DOMAIN` DNS record. See [Configuring DNS](configuring-dns.md).
You may also need to open the following ports to your server:
- `udp/10000` - RTP media over UDP
- `tcp/4443` - RTP media fallback over TCP
## Installation
Add this to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml` configuration:
```yaml
matrix_jitsi_enabled: true
# We only need this temporarily - until Jitsi integration in riot-web is finalized.
# Remove this line in the future, to switch back to a stable riot-web version.
matrix_riot_web_docker_image: "vectorim/riot-web:develop"
```
Then re-run the playbook: `ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all,start`

## Usage
You can use the self-hosted Jitsi server through Riot, through an Integration Manager like [Dimension](docs/configuring-playbook-dimension.md) or directly at `https://jitsi.DOMAIN`.
To use it via riot-web, make sure you've installed the `develop` version and fully reloaded your riot-web page (at `riot.DOMAIN`). Starting a video-conference in a room containing more than 2 members should then create a Jitsi widget which utilizes your self-hosted Jitsi server.
