Jitsi Meet IFrame (External) API is one of 10 APIs that [Jitsi](https://apis.io/providers/jitsi-org/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Iframe, External API, Embedding, Video Conferencing, and JavaScript. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

Browser-side JavaScript API (also called the External API) that embeds a Jitsi Meet conference into any web page through an iframe. Exposes the JitsiMeetExternalAPI constructor with commands (executeCommand), functions (getParticipantsInfo, isVideoMuted, etc.), and an event surface (videoConferenceJoined, participantJoined, audioMuteStatusChanged, raise hand, breakout rooms) for controlling the meeting from the host page. The same library powers the embed experience on meet.jit.si, self-hosted deployments, and JaaS.
