Jitsi Chat Moderation and Editing System (XMPP-based Implementation)

This project aims to design and implement a complete chat moderation and editing system for Jitsi Meet. Currently, Jitsi’s chat supports basic messaging but lacks important features such as message editing, deletion, moderation controls, and search, which are essential in modern communication platforms. The goal of this project is to introduce these missing capabilities using XMPP standards like XEP-0308 (message editing), XEP-0424 (message retraction), and XEP-0425 (moderation). The implementation will follow a structured approach, starting from the XMPP layer in lib-jitsi-meet and extending to the Redux and UI layers in jitsi-meet. Key features include message editing, message deletion, moderator-controlled actions, chat muting, user reporting, message search, and reply threading. Additionally, server-side enforcement using Prosody plugins will be explored to ensure reliable moderation. This project will improve user experience, provide better control in meetings, and bring Jitsi’s chat system closer to modern messaging standards while maintaining consistency with its existing architecture.
