Then unzip this extension in the folder.

Use eXo extension script :

cd tomcat 
./extension.sh -i chat

Step 3 : Configure eXo Chat and Weemo

Get chat.properties from Git: chat.properties

From the chat extension, copy the chat.properties to tomcat/conf:

Edit chat.properties and add weemo key according to yours:

 weemoKey=YOUR_KEY_HERE

Step 5 : Making your first video call

In the top navigation bar, you should see the Chat menu. It will allow you to open the Chat window.

From the main Chat app, you can then make a video call once you install Weemo Driver.

You will be prompted to install Weemo driver after a few seconds.
