While Adalo doesn’t have built-in video calling functionality, you can leverage third-party services to achieve this! A popular option is Jitsi, a free and open-source video conferencing platform. Here’s how to set it up:

**In Adalo:**

1. **Video Call ID:** Create a Text property named “Video Call ID” within your “Meetings” collection (or whatever collection name you’re using). This will hold a unique identifier for each video call.
2. **Generate Unique ID:** When a user creates a new video call (through a button or another action), add an action to update the new video call’s “Video Call ID” with a unique value. This prevents unwanted participants from joining. Here’s an example formula using the `RAND(0,1)` function to generate a random string: `[RANDOM NUMBERS]-[APP NAME]` (replace `[APP NAME]` with your app’s name).

**Displaying the Video Call:**

1. **Web View Component:** On your video call screen, add a Web View component.
2. **Jitsi Link with Magic Text:** Set the Web View’s URL to: `"meet.jit.si/"` followed by the “Video Call ID” property (use Magic Text to insert it dynamically). Make sure there are no spaces between the URL and the Magic Text.

**Limitations:**

This approach utilizes Jitsi’s external service, so keep in mind there might be limitations like:

- **Limited Customization:** The video call interface will be Jitsi’s, not your app’s design.
- **External Dependence:** Your app relies on Jitsi’s functionality and uptime.

However, this is a great way to implement basic video calling within your Adalo app.

Sorry, for not explaining that super well! But hopefully, this gives you a good starting point. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions about integrating Jitsi or other aspects of your video call feature.
