Hide video like reddit talk or other talk community apps?

[ralyodio]

I'm wondering if I can use the jitsi javascript library to build a reddit-talk like app (no video, just audio).

How would I do it? Is it enough to just hide the video with css or is there someway to do audio-only calls for a group.

This is the lib-jitsi-meet repo, the lower level library. With it you could build your own app without video and with the UI you want.

is this not the node.js library?

There is no nodejs library. This library is meant to run in a browser-like environment.

Sorry that's what I meant. How would I do an audio only chat room?

You can start by looking at the example: https://github.com/jitsi/lib-jitsi-meet/tree/master/doc/example and just don't use video streams, just do audio.
