Hi, This XEP has two parts: 1. An IQ-based protocol to request a meeting link from a server. 2. An additional element to add to a message to send the meeting link to another party
The second feature is already available via XEP-0482, which describes call invites using Jingle and external URIs. The XEP already mentions weblinks to join the call as an example for such external URIs. As XEP-0482 has a bunch of other features, like announcing join and leave on the XMPP side (works especially great if the website is opened in a frame or similar inside the XMPP client, as the XMPP client then even knows when the user left the call) or the ability to additionally announce dial-in tel:-URIs (which some Jitsi instances also support and may be very useful for mobile clients). Therefore, I'm proposing to remove the second part from the XEP (or better: replace it with how to use XEP-0482 for this purpose). If it is desirable to have a way to signal that the URL is a jitsi URL, I propose to instead have that as an additional element in the XEP-0482 <invite> (which it mentions as a possible extension point "Specifications that describe further ways to join a call define their own sub-elements to the <invite> element"). This element (e.g. <jitsi xmlns='urn:xmpp:http:online-meetings:0' url='<url>'/>) would be additional to the <external> element, so that receiving clients that don't understand this proposed XEP, but do understand XEP-0482 will still have a reasonably good UX, just nothing jitsi specific. Replace jitsi in this paragraph with any other online meeting tool as you see fit.
