Use Constructor Groups as your call provider in Zulip

You can configure Constructor Groups as the call provider for your organization. Users will be able to start a Constructor Groups call and invite others using the add video call () button in the compose box.

Note: This is currently only possible on self-hosted Zulip installations, and requires a Constructor Groups account.

Configure Constructor Groups as your call provider

By default, Zulip integrates with Jitsi Meet, a fully-encrypted, 100% open source video conferencing solution. You can configure Zulip to use Constructor Groups as your call provider instead.

  • Instructions for all platforms

  1. Obtain your Constructor Groups API credentials by going to your Constructor Groups dashboard. Select Settings, and open the Development tab. Click the Create new API Key button, fill the required fields, and click Create. Copy your Access Key and Secret Key from the window that opens.

  2. In /etc/zulip/zulip-secrets.conf, set constructor_groups_access_key and constructor_groups_secret_key to the access key and secret key created in the previous step.

  3. In /etc/zulip/settings.py, set CONSTRUCTOR_GROUPS_URL to your Constructor Groups API URL, e.g., https://example.constructor.app/api/groups/xapi.

  4. Restart the Zulip server with /home/zulip/deployments/current/scripts/restart-server.

  5. Go to Organization settings.

  6. Under Compose settings, select Constructor Groups from the Call provider dropdown.

  7. Click Save changes.
