How to set meeting background using image?

1

Hello,

On meet.jit.si, I already know how to set background to different colors using DEFAULT_BACKGROUND

but how to use a image url as background? I tried like DEFAULT_BACKGROUND: “url(‘https://i.etsystatic.com/23486410/r/il/4310b6/3642750090/il_1588xN.3642750090_383a.jpg’)”

but it doesn’t work!

Create a custom /etc/jitsi/meet/DOMAIN-body.html, add it to nginx:

location = /body.html {
    alias /etc/jitsi/meet/DOMAIN-body.html;
}

Reload Nginx and put all the CSS changes there, for example:

#largeVideoContainer {
    background-image: url(images/welcome-background.png);
    background-position:center;
    background-repeat:none;
    background-size:cover;
    height: 100%;
}

etc.
You can see it in action in https://meet.lindeas.com/

P.S.: You also have the following section in config.js, but I haven’t used it.

Thanks, that’s awesome! However, I forgot to mention that I am using meet.jit.si not my own server

Ah I see - well, I’m not sure how to do this technically. You also need to make sure you have the right, as the T&C of meet.jit.si forbid changing the branding, and a custom background image can easily do that.
