feat: video conferencing

[nikkothari22]

Added video calling to Raven - similar to Huddles on Slack.

It uses LiveKit - users can bring their own LiveKit API keys and use it on Raven.

CleanShot.2025-03-14.at.23.29.40-converted.mp4

Any channel member can start a video call and other users in the channel can join it. Works on DMs too. Right now, we are not tracking the call state (In Progress, Closed) - but we plan to do that using webhooks published by LiveKit.

UI components are also built using standard ones available in LiveKit - we'll replace those with our own styling.

TODOs:

• Allow setting up LiveKit credentials in the Raven interface
• Allow adding members to call when in call (doctype already supports this)
• Change the UI for the call - add user avatars etc instead of default LiveKit fallbacks

We'll eventually need to add support for recordings and syncing messages in the in-call chat with a thread in the original message that created the call.

Closes #1132

Note to team: didn't feel like working on the mobile app today, so made this.

This is great 🚀. It would be nice to also have this on mobile

What is the update here?
Is there another thread on this?

The livekit integration settings is pushed but the call button doesn't seem to be visible in either the DM or channels.

[nikkothari22]

@meaziz Yeah the settings doctype got updated in a separate branch. This is not pushed yet - will most likely use/integrate with Frappe Meet instead of LiveKit.

Hey so just a question, this Frappe Meet that you mentioned @nikkothari22, is that a publicly available repo? or is there still work being done on it?

[nikkothari22]

@frankymcgee Its still under active development here: https://github.com/frappe/meet

[frankymcgee]

@nikkothari22 ah ok I am unable to view that repo so it mustn't be publicly available yet.

Would it still be worthwhile having the option for LiveKit as well?

[nikkothari22]

@frankymcgee I'm not opposed to it tbh. We can take it up after v3 release I guess. @prathameshkurunkar7

[frankymcgee]

@nikkothari22 yeah mate i mean the doctype already has the option for LiveKit, Would just be as simple as adding a Select option just like you have done with the Push notifications
