Domain

Jitsi is an open source project and can be installed on every server. So you can run it on your own domain to ensure full privacy for your participants. As default, the domain of the official Jitsi server is used to have ready to use meeting functionality. In hte DPCalendar Jitsi plugin you can create a new calendar per domain or the official Jitsi domain meet.jit.si. This allows you to setup unlimited different Jitsi servers on your web site.

Connect a DPCalendar event with a Jitsi meeting

When the Jitsi plugin is activated and the author edits or creates an event, then there is a new Jitsi tab available to connect the event with a Jitsi meeting. You can then setup the meeting room name, password and jitsi domain.

"Only tickets" defines if there is an active ticket needed to join the meeting, keep in mind that this setting is ignored for the author and super admins. The user groups setting restricts access to the meeting to certain user groups.
