inspect_jitsi.sync.count module#

get_participant_count: a one-shot count of who's in a Jitsi Meet room.

Briefly opens a JitsiConference, reads the participant count, and closes it again - see that class and the inspect_jitsi.xmpp.connection module docstring for why joining the room is necessary and what it means in practice (a brief join/leave blip other participants may notice).

inspect_jitsi.sync.count.get_participant_count(conference_url, nick=None, name=None, anonymous_domain=None, muc_domain=None, timeout=10)[source]#

  • nick (str | None) – the MUC nickname to join under. Random if not given.

  • name (str | None) – the display name (XEP-0172) to disclose when joining. No display name is disclosed if not given.
