详情介绍:
Sending a Zoom or Meet link pulls learners off your course site, breaks your branding, and leaves attendance to a third-party tab. ConnectSphere embeds a live classroom on your own pages: camera, microphone, public and private chat, and screen sharing, using the Janus WebRTC Gateway you control.
Who it is for
- Course authors who want a live session inside a lesson page, not a separate meeting URL.
- Tutors and training teams who already run WordPress and can host (or commission) a Janus server.
- Sites that must keep media on infrastructure they choose (self-hosted gateway + STUN/TURN).
- Video, audio, public chat, private chat, screen sharing
- Raise Hand, live participant count, connection-quality bars (RTT + packet loss)
- Leave (stops camera/mic and releases WebRTC resources)
- Dark or Light room theme (front-end only)
- French translation included
[connectsphere_room] or the ConnectSphere Room block. Settings live under the ConnectSphere admin menu.
安装:
- Install and activate ConnectSphere from Plugins.
- Open ConnectSphere in the admin menu. Set the Janus URL (
wss://…), STUN (stun:…), and TURN (turn:…) plus TURN credentials. - Pick Dark or Light for the public room.
- Add
[connectsphere_room]to a page, or insert the ConnectSphere Room block. - On the page: enter a username and room ID, then Create or Join.
常见问题:
Do I need my own Janus server?
Yes for any real audience. The default URL is a shared demo. For live courses you need Janus Gateway (videoroom + textroom), WSS, and usually coturn.
How do I put the room on a page?
Shortcode [connectsphere_room] (same as 1.6.0) or the Gutenberg block ConnectSphere Room. Both render the same template and load Janus only on that page.
Can I run 100 participants?
Janus can, if the server has CPU, RAM, and bandwidth. Plan a dedicated VPS (about 2 vCPU / 2 GB RAM) once you pass roughly ten concurrent publishers. The WordPress plugin does not magically scale the gateway.
Why can’t some users connect?
They are likely behind a firewall that blocks peer-to-peer. Configure a working TURN server (not only STUN). URLs must use the stun: / turn: prefixes; Janus must be wss://.
Can I match the room to a light site?
Yes. ConnectSphere → Room appearance → Light. That setting does not restyle wp-admin.
Is there a Premium / recording / LMS plugin?
A Pro with recording, waiting room, and LMS hooks is planned, not shipped. Do not expect those features in 1.7.0.
How much is a professional Janus install?
The author offers installation (Janus, coturn, TLS/WSS, firewall, test) from €249 on your VPS, or a turnkey package from €449. See https://profiles.wordpress.org/tlloancy/
更新日志:
1.7.0
August 25, 2026:
- Compat: Tested up to WordPress 7.1. Version constant
CONNECTSPHERE_VERSION. - Editor: Gutenberg block
connectsphere/room(block.json, dynamic render).[connectsphere_room]is unchanged. Assets also enqueue when the room is rendered (widgets / block themes). - Design: Settings screen uses native WordPress admin (
form-table,.wrap,.card). Removed ice-blue glow, pulsing background, and floating spheres. - Docs: wordpress.org listing rewritten around the real product (self-hosted Janus classroom).
docs/USER-GUIDE.md(English) anddocs/MODE-DEMPLOI.md(French). - The Janus client (
assets/js/connectsphere.js,janus.js,adapter.js) is not rewritten. = 1.6.0 = (2026-05-28)
- Tested up to WordPress 7.0.
- Participant counter: The participants panel now shows a live count of people in the room.
- Raise Hand: New button lets participants signal the host. A hand icon (✋) appears on the video bubble and in the participant list for all attendees.
- Connection quality indicator: Three-bar signal indicator in the control bar, powered by WebRTC
getStats()(RTT + packet loss). - Light theme: New color theme option in Settings > ConnectSphere > Room Appearance. Dark (default) or Light — with a live preview in the settings page.
- Leave button: Cleanly stops camera/mic tracks, releases all WebRTC handles, and resets the room state. Previously, leaving was only possible by closing the tab.
- Auto-join after create: Creating a room now immediately joins it. No need to click "Join" separately.
- Status ticker now spans full width below the control buttons, no longer squeezed to a few pixels.
- Join logic extracted into
performJoin()to eliminate duplicated code between the Create and Join flows. - Professional Janus server installation service documented in FAQ and admin settings page.
- Fixed missing
load_plugin_textdomain()— PHP-side translations now load correctly. - Fixed broken ICE retry paths that referenced undeclared
videoroomHandle/textroomHandlevariables (now correctly usingvideoroom/textroom). - Fixed notification sound using a site-root absolute path; now uses the correct plugin URL via
connectSphere.plugin_url. - Removed dead
wp_ajax_connectsphere_join_roomregistration (endpoint was never called from the front-end). - Fixed PHP fatal error risk: apostrophe inside single-quoted string in capabilities check.
- All remaining hard-coded French strings in PHP and JS replaced with English base strings wrapped in i18n functions.
- Added missing CSS classes:
.unread-badge,.new-message-highlight,.disabled,.hand-raised. plugin_urladded to localized JS data; removed unusedajax_url/nonce. = 1.5.0 = (2026-04-25)

[connectsphere_room]shortcode. - Copy Feedback: Integrated a visual "Copied!" confirmation using WordPress native Dashicons for a better user experience.

sprintfto thewp-i18nimports inconnectsphere.jsto support complex dynamic translations.

Domain Pathfor native translation. - wp-i18n Integration: Scripts now explicitly depend on
wp-i18nfor secure string translation. - String Standardization: All UI messages harmonized to English for global compatibility.

videoroomandtextroomplugins. This ensures much faster recovery after network drops. - Enhanced Connection Stability: Refined the Janus initialization flow to handle session drops more proactively.

- Renforcement de la sécurité (Nonce) : Correction de la faille de vérification des jetons de sécurité dans l'administration. Désormais, les réglages sont protégés par
check_admin_refererpour prévenir les attaques CSRF. - Optimisation du chargement des scripts : Les fichiers JS (Janus, adapter.js) et CSS ne sont plus chargés sur tout le site. Ils sont désormais injectés uniquement sur les pages utilisant le shortcode
[connectsphere_room], améliorant drastiquement les performances du site.
- Full Responsive Design : Refonte complète du CSS pour mobile et tablette. La grille vidéo et la barre de contrôle s'adaptent désormais parfaitement aux petits écrans.

- Replaced generic
media: { audio: true, video: true }with precise recvonly settings. - Now explicitly sets
