Installation

mod_jitsi installs like any other Moodle activity module, into mod/jitsi.

  1. Download the plugin ZIP from the Moodle Marketplace (the Marketplace replaced the old Moodle plugins directory in July 2026; installing directly from within Moodle is not available for now).
  2. Log in to your Moodle as an administrator.
  3. Go to Site administration → Plugins → Install plugins and upload the ZIP, then follow the on-screen installer.
  4. Confirm the upgrade when Moodle prompts you.

Option B — Manual install (ZIP)

  1. Download the plugin ZIP from the Moodle Marketplace or the GitHub releases.
  2. Unzip it into your Moodle's mod/ directory so the folder is mod/jitsi (not mod/moodle-mod_jitsi).
  3. Visit Site administration → Notifications and complete the database upgrade.

Option C — Git

cd /path/to/moodle/mod
git clone https://github.com/SergioComeron/moodle-mod_jitsi.git jitsi

Then visit Site administration → Notifications to finish the install.

Option D — Composer (Moodle 5.2+)

Composer-managed Moodle sites can install the plugin straight from Packagist:

composer require sergiocomeron/moodle-mod_jitsi

The moodle/composer-installer plugin places it in mod/jitsi automatically. Then visit Site administration → Notifications to finish the install.

Folder name matters

The plugin must live in mod/jitsi. If the directory is named anything else (for example moodle-mod_jitsi), Moodle will not detect it.

After installing

  1. Configure your Jitsi server option and the plugin settings.
  2. (Optional) Register a free mod_jitsi Account to unlock the attendance report and recording analytics.
  3. Create your first activity.
