PeerTube plugin livechat

This plugin can provide webchat for peertube videos.

There are multiple way to provide such functionality:

• builtin prosody: this plugin can launch a Prosody process and auto-configure it. Documentation. Althought this is still experimental and under development, it is the recommanded setup.
• builtin converseJS: you can use an external Jabber/XMPP server with BOSH or Websocket and anonymous loggin enabled. Documentation
• external tool: you can use any external webchat tool, that can be included in an iframe. Documentation

For the two first solutions, the connection to the XMPP server is made with converseJS.

If you have new feature requests, bugs, or difficulties to setup the plugin, you can use the Github issue tracker.

If you are a webdesigner or a ConverseJS/Prosody/XMPP expert, and want to help improve this plugin, you are welcome.

If you have any question, or if you want to talk about this plugin, you can join this XMPP room with any Jabber client: plugin-livechat-support@room.im.yiny.org.
