It touches four very different but complementary areas: <strong>recordings</strong>, <strong>AI on top of the recordings</strong>, <strong>private sessions</strong> between users, and a new <strong>tutoring-hours system</strong>. Let&rsquo;s go through them one by one.</p> <h2 id="1-recordings-on-gcp-the-jibri-pool">1. Recordings on GCP: the Jibri pool</h2> <h3 id="what-is-jibri">What is Jibri</h3> <p><a href="https://github.com/jitsi/jibri">Jibri</a> is the official recording component of Jitsi Meet. It is a separate virtual machine that joins the room as an invisible participant, captures video and audio with Chrome and saves the result as an MP4 file.</p> https://sergiocomeron.com/blog/en/posts/jitsi-gcp-provisioning/ Sat, 27 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0100 https://sergiocomeron.com/blog/en/posts/jitsi-gcp-provisioning/ <p>One of the biggest barriers to implementing videoconferencing in Moodle has been infrastructure. With the new version of the <a href="https://github.com/udima-university/moodle-mod_jitsi">mod_jitsi</a> plugin, we&rsquo;ve revolutionized this by introducing <strong>automatic provisioning of Jitsi servers on Google Cloud Platform</strong>.</p> <h2 id="the-problem-we-solve">The Problem We Solve</h2> <p>Traditionally, to have your own Jitsi server you needed to:</p> <ol> <li>Manually configure a Linux server</li> <li>Install and configure Jitsi Meet</li> <li>Set up SSL with Let&rsquo;s Encrypt</li> <li>Implement JWT authentication for moderator control</li> <li>Manage DNS and static IP addresses</li> <li>Maintain and scale the infrastructure</li> </ol> <p>All of this required advanced technical knowledge and considerable time. <strong>Not anymore.</strong></p>
