+Jitsi Meet API
+============
+
+You can use Jitsi Meet API to embed Jitsi Meet in to your application.
+
+Installation
+==========
+
+To embed Jitsi Meet in your application you need to add Jitsi Meet API library
+```javascript
+<script src="https://meet.jit.si/external_api.js"></script>
+```
+
+The next step for embedding Jitsi Meet is to create the Jitsi Meet API object
+```javascript
+<script>
+    var domain = "meet.jit.si";
+    var room = "JitsiMeetAPIExample";
+    var width = 700;
+    var height = 700;
+    var api = new JitsiMeetExternalAPI(domain, room, width, height);
+</script>
+```
+You can paste that lines in your html code where you want to be placed the Jitsi Meet conference
+or you can specify the parent HTML element for the Jitsi Meet conference in the JitsiMeetExternalAPI
+constructor.
+```javascript
+    var api = new JitsiMeetExternalAPI(domain, room, width, height, htmlElement);
+```
+If you don't specify room the user will enter in new conference with random room name.
+
+You can overwrite options set in config.js and interface_config.js. For example, to enable the film-strip-only interface mode and disable simulcast, you can use:
+```javascript
+    var configOverwrite = {enableSimulcast: false};
+    var interfaceConfigOverwrite = {filmStripOnly: true};
+    var api = new JitsiMeetExternalAPI(domain, room, width, height, htmlElement, configOverwrite, interfaceConfigOverwrite);
+```
+
+Controlling embedded Jitsi Meet Conference
+=========
+
+You can control the embedded Jitsi Meet conference using the JitsiMeetExternalAPI object.
+
+You can send command to Jitsi Meet conference using ```executeCommand```.
+```
+api.executeCommand(command, ...arguments)
+```
+The ```command``` parameter is String object with the name of the command.
+Currently we support the following commands:
+
+
+* **displayName** - sets the display name of the local participant. This command requires one argument -
+the new display name to be set
+```
+api.executeCommand('displayName', 'New Nickname');
+```
+* **toggleAudio** - mutes / unmutes the audio for the local participant. No arguments are required.
+```
+api.executeCommand('toggleAudio')
+```
+* **toggleVideo** - mutes / unmutes the video for the local participant. No arguments are required.
+```
+api.executeCommand('toggleVideo')
+```
+* **toggleFilmStrip** - hides / shows the film strip. No arguments are required.
+```
+api.executeCommand('filmStrip')
+```
+* **toggleChat** - hides / shows the chat. No arguments are required.
+```
+api.executeCommand('toggleChat')
+```
+* **toggleContactList** - hides / shows the contact list. No arguments are required.
+```
+api.executeCommand('toggleContactList')
+```
+
+* **toggleShareScreen** - starts / stops the screen sharing. No arguments are required.
+```
+api.executeCommand('toggleShareScreen')
+```
+
+* **hangup** - Hangups the call. No arguments are required.
+```
+api.executeCommand('hangup')
+```
+
+* **email** - Hangups the call. No arguments are required.
+```
+api.executeCommand('email', 'example@example.com')
+```
+
+* **avatarUrl** - Hangups the call. No arguments are required.
+```
+api.executeCommand('avatarUrl', 'avatarUrl')
+```
+
+You can also execute multiple commands using the method ```executeCommands```.
+```
+api.executeCommands(commands)
+```
+The ```commands``` parameter is object with keys the names of the commands and values the arguments for the
+commands.
+
+```
+api.executeCommands({displayName: ['nickname'], toggleAudio: []});
+```
+
+You can add event listeners to the embedded Jitsi Meet using ```addEventListener``` method.
+```
+api.addEventListener(event, listener)
+```
+The ```event``` parameter is String object with the name of the event.
+The ```listener``` paramenter is Function object with one argument that will be notified when the event occurs
+with data related to the event.
+
+Currently we support the following events:
+
+* **incomingMessage** - event notifications about incoming
+messages. The listener will receive object with the following structure:
+```
+{
+"from": from,//JID of the user that sent the message
+"nick": nick,//the nickname of the user that sent the message
+"message": txt//the text of the message
+}
+```
+* **outgoingMessage** - event notifications about outgoing
+messages. The listener will receive object with the following structure:
+```
+{
+"message": txt//the text of the message
+}
+```
+* **displayNameChanged** - event notifications about display name
+change. The listener will receive object with the following structure:
+```
+{
+jid: jid,//the JID of the participant that changed his display name
+displayname: displayName //the new display name
+}
+```
+* **participantJoined** - event notifications about new participant.
+The listener will receive object with the following structure:
+```
+{
+jid: jid //the jid of the participant
+}
+```
+* **participantLeft** - event notifications about participant that left room.
+The listener will receive object with the following structure:
+```
+{
+jid: jid //the jid of the participant
+}
+```
+* **videoConferenceJoined** - event notifications fired when the local user has joined the video conference.
+The listener will receive object with the following structure:
+```
+{
+roomName: room //the room name of the conference
+}
+```
+* **videoConferenceLeft** - event notifications fired when the local user has left the video conference.
+The listener will receive object with the following structure:
+```
+{
+roomName: room //the room name of the conference
+}
+```
+
+* **readyToClose** - event notification fired when Jitsi Meet is ready to be closed (hangup operations are completed).
+
+You can also add multiple event listeners by using ```addEventListeners```.
+This method requires one argument of type Object. The object argument must
+have keys with the names of the events and values the listeners of the events.
+
+```
+function incomingMessageListener(object)
+{
+...
+}
+
+function outgoingMessageListener(object)
+{
+...
+}
+
+api.addEventListeners({
+    incomingMessage: incomingMessageListener,
+    outgoingMessage: outgoingMessageListener})
+```
+
+If you want to remove a listener you can use ```removeEventListener``` method with argument the name of the event.
+```
+api.removeEventListener("incomingMessage");
+```
+
+If you want to remove more than one event you can use ```removeEventListeners``` method with argument
+ array with the names of the events.
+```
+api.removeEventListeners(["incomingMessage", "outgoingMessageListener"]);
+```
+
+You can get the number of participants in the conference with the following code:
+```
+var numberOfParticipants = api.getNumberOfParticipants();
+```
+
+You can remove the embedded Jitsi Meet Conference with the following code:
+```
+api.dispose()
+```
+
+It is a good practice to remove the conference before the page is unloaded.
