Use Nextcloud Talk as your call provider in Zulip

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

You'll need a Nextcloud server with the Talk app enabled.

Note: This integration is not available in Zulip Cloud.

Configure Nextcloud Talk 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 Nextcloud Talk as your call provider instead.

Note: Zulip creates public Nextcloud Talk conversations with guest access, allowing anyone to join by visiting a URL and entering their name. This ensures that all Zulip users can join calls regardless of whether they have Nextcloud accounts.

  • Instructions for all platforms

  1. Log in to your Nextcloud server with the user account that will be used for creating video call rooms. Using a dedicated account for this purpose is recommended.

  2. Generate an app password in Nextcloud Talk for API access:

    • Go to your Settings, select Personal Security and navigate to the Devices & sessions section.
    • Set the App name to a name of your choice, such as Zulip.
    • Click Create new app password, and copy the generated password.

  3. In /etc/zulip/zulip-secrets.conf, set NEXTCLOUD_TALK_USERNAME to your Nextcloud Talk username and NEXTCLOUD_TALK_PASSWORD to the app password you generated in the previous step.

  4. In /etc/zulip/settings.py, set NEXTCLOUD_SERVER to the URL of your Nextcloud server.

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

  6. Go to Organization settings.

  7. Under Compose settings, select Nextcloud Talk from the Call provider dropdown.

  8. Click Save changes.
