[Bradford] Video conferencing

[shi]

Cool, thanks all. looks like there might be issues with ipv4 even with new
info added to settings (thanks, John L).

IPV6 should work tho I was restarting the server and doing things to it
just now so it could be that you tried the URL at those times, John H!
I saw and heard Paul Colley earlier on Jitsi so this is working for one
person at least.

For now, I'm just going to leave the server/chat up and see if anyone else
can log in.
It could be that we use the web service ;_;

ps: am also gonna try the same stuff on our own servers and see what
happens.
