Yes, it is possible to embed Jitsi using the API for a simple Webflow integration. Jitsi is an open-source video conferencing platform that allows for easy integration with other applications and websites.

To embed Jitsi into a Webflow website, you can follow these steps:

  1. Generate a meeting URL: Jitsi provides a way to generate a meeting URL through its API. This URL will be used to create the iframe that will embed the Jitsi video conference into your Webflow site.

  2. Create an HTML embed element: In Webflow, you can add an HTML embed element to any page or template where you want to display the Jitsi video conference. The HTML embed element allows you to add custom HTML code directly into your Webflow site.

  3. Add the iframe code: Inside the HTML embed element, you can add the iframe code that will display the Jitsi video conference. The iframe code typically includes the Jitsi meeting URL, as well as any additional settings or parameters that you want to customize, such as the name of the meeting or the video quality.

  4. Style the iframe: By default, the Jitsi iframe may not match the design of your Webflow site. You can use CSS to style the iframe and make it blend seamlessly with the rest of your website. You can target the iframe using its class or ID and apply custom CSS styles to modify its appearance.

  5. Test and customize: Once you have added the Jitsi iframe to your Webflow site, you should test it to ensure that it works properly. You can also explore the various customization options provided by Jitsi, such as enabling or disabling features, customizing the interface, or adding moderators.

By following these steps, you can easily integrate Jitsi into your Webflow site using the API. This allows for a seamless video conferencing experience for your users while maintaining the visual consistency of your website.
