If you are using multiple Conferencing Nodes, then we recommend setting up a common hostname and associated round robin DNS SRV records. Go to the Settings tab and configure the following information:īase URL: This FQDN must match the FQDN of your Conferencing Node. See the Rocket.Chat Pexip app guide for more information. From the Rocket.Chat instance, enable the Pexip integration app.You need to configure the Base URL so Rocket.Chat can route calls to the correct Pexip Infinity address. To add scheduled meetings and configure your calendar invitations, follow the Enabling scheduled meetings instructions.Ĭonfiguring the Pexip integration app in Rocket.Chat.For more information see Conference Call User's Guide. Log into a Rocket.Chat web browser or Rocket.Chat desktop client and click the handset icon to start a call. You have completed the integration process.Note that changes made to the Pexip Infinity platform take approximately 60 seconds to synchronize. Theme: to apply Rocket.Chat themes or branding. Event Sink: to monitor conference status.Policy profile: to link the Rocket.Chat external policy server to Pexip Infinity.Within Pexip Infinity, create the following:

For the purpose of this guide, Pexip App is referred to as the Pexip Integration app. Note that Pexip App is a Rocket.Chat application. From the Rocket.Chat instance, enable and configure the Pexip App to use Pexip Infinity for video calls.The configuration of the Rocket.Chat and the Pexip Infinity installations needs to align precisely (with certain shared configuration values) for the integration to work correctly. If you are using scheduled meetings, then you must be using as a minimum: See Pexip Infinity port usage and firewall guidance for more information. Suitable network routability between Rocket.Chat and Pexip Infinity.Configured to use Connect Webapp3 by default.Only one system location for each Rocket.Chat workspace, but that location can contain multiple Conferencing Nodes.

See Managing TLS and trusted CA certificates for more information about certificates.

Valid certificates and intermediate certificates installed.

Your Pexip Infinity platform and configuration must meet the following criteria: See installation overview for more information. Any of Pexip Infinity's deployment models may be used (on-premises, cloud-hosted etc).

Performed a basic installation and configuration of Pexip Infinity.

Signed up to the Rocket.Chat platform and have access to an Admin account.

The deployment instructions assume that you have: Note that for scheduled meetings, the launch process is direct from the Rocket.Chat client and does not use external policy. Other invitees can use alternative links (for example, video conferencing endpoints or the Pexip Connect Webapp3) in the same invitation to join the meeting via their preferred video devices. In scheduled meetings, the calendar invitation contains a link for joining via Rocket.Chat which launches the Rocket.Chat client, which in turn launches a Rocket.Chat video window or a new browser tab, depending on how the desktop client is configured, and initiates a video call to the Pexip Conferencing Node that is hosting the VMR. The diagram below summarizes the connectivity required between the components of Pexip Infinity and a Rocket.Chat workspace. In all cases ensure that you have permitted an HTTPS, port 443 connection from the Pexip Infinity Conferencing Nodes to the Rocket.Chat external policy server. This triggers an external policy request from Pexip Infinity to Rocket.Chat and the policy server responds with the meeting parameters (service type, themes, alias, PINs and so on) and a single-use VMR is created specifically for the meeting. When the user starts a video meeting in Rocket.Chat, the Pexip integration app launches a RocketChat video window or a new browser tab, depending on how the desktop client is configured, and initiates a video call to a Pexip Conferencing Node. It handles all communications and call requests between Rocket.Chat platform and Pexip Infinity. The Pexip integration app is a Rocket.Chat application that is downloaded from the Rocket.Chat Marketplace.

These can be held either in a single-use VMR or the user's personal VMR on Pexip Infinity. Schedule a meeting that can be joined from the Rocket.Chat client (in addition to other video devices).These are held in single-use VMRs that are created specifically for the meeting and only available for its duration. Initiate an instant ad hoc video meeting from their current chat.Rocket.Chat can integrate with Pexip Infinity to allow users to quickly and easily add a Pexip VMR to their chat, enabling any meeting to be held over a secure video conference.
