毫不费力的视频协作

Video calls are an invaluable tool that can connect people from around the world. As the pandemic progresses, we’ve depended on these conversations to effectively disseminate company knowledge, enabling us to build more collaboratively.

视频通话是一种宝贵的工具，可以联系来自世界各地的人们。 随着大流行的发展，我们依靠这些对话来有效地传播公司知识，从而使我们能够进行更多协作。

Video calls are meant to be easy — like simply walking up to a person and starting a conversation. But in reality, this is far from the truth. It requires the user to maintain an account, logging into a platform every time to start a video meeting.

视频通话本来就很容易-就像走到一个人并开始对话一样。 但实际上，这远非事实。 它要求用户维护一个帐户，每次启动视频会议时都要登录平台。

At n8n, we use Mattermost and Whereby. Mattermost is an open-source, self-hostable online chat service with file sharing, search, and integrations. It is designed as an internal chat for organizations and companies. Whereby is an easy to use video conferencing platform that does not require any software and runs entirely in-browser.

在n8n，我们使用Mattermost和Whereby。 Mattermost是一种具有文件共享，搜索和集成功能的开源，可托管的在线聊天服务。 它被设计为组织和公司的内部聊天。 因此，这是一个易于使用的视频会议平台，不需要任何软件，并且完全在浏览器中运行。

We created a custom Mattermost slash command to reduce friction and help us quickly connect with other members of the team via Whereby. In this article, I’m going to show you how you can create a Mattermost slash command that will use n8n as a backend to return your Whereby URL in a channel. You can follow along using the workflow available over here. Please note that you will need to configure credentials for the Mattermost node.
