Hello, users of appear.in WP! I have recently received the following correspondence from the appear.in team.
What’s Changing?
The current embed version and SDK as available on developer.appear.in will be deprecated. For websites that currently have the embed version running, there will be no change to the code. However, users that enter the room name that is indicated in the code, will now be taken to a new tab with the video room, instead of opening directly on your web page.For example:
If your website code reads:
<iframe src="https://appear.in/practical-porcupine" width="800" height="640" frameborder="0"></iframe>The enter room graphic will remain the same, however when it is clicked, a new tab will open taking the user straight to the room at https://appear.in/practical-porcupine.
When?
The current embed version options for appear.in rooms will be disabled on June 30, 2017 at 12:00 pm CEST. You will receive two additional reminders before the shutdown occurs.Why?
As we move toward becoming a better productivity and collaboration tool, specifically for the future of work, we see the need to develop some of our features for an even better experience.To successfully collaborate, we want appear.in to be effortless for our users and provide flexibility for their distributed teams. The Developer SDK offerings haven’t accomplished this for our users, and therefore we have chosen to shut down it down in its current state and shift focus to pour into the full version of appear.in. We are doing this in order to bring you better features and reliability going forward.How can I use appear.in with my website going forward?
The following options will still be able available to utilize appear.in with your website:
What does this mean for the appear.in WP plugin?
Seeing as this plugin relies upon the appear.in developer API, I will be soon pushing a plugin update to reflect this deprecation. The plugin will cease to function in it’s normal manner. Room buttons on your site, instead of opening an embedded room will redirect to a new tab with the video room. Thank you for your support of this plugin!
Hi –
Trying to use the plugin, but its not compatible with the version of WP, I’m currently using.
Also, would like to permit up to 12 people in the room — as permitted w/ the premium version of appear.in – how would I make that possible?
Please let me know about potential customization.
Thank you!

In file appear-in-wp.php method respond_to_shortcode() you try to get a post object from the global $post which is already an object (regarding your own code $post->ID).
The global $post is not an object in front-page.php. I suggest you this improvement with this method :
public function respond_to_shortcode() {
// get post object
global $post;
if ( ! is_object( $post ) ) {
return;
}
// check if shortcode is present in post content
if ( stripos( $post->post_content, '[appear_in' ) !== FALSE ) {
// call to enqueue scripts and styles needed for shortcode
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', array( $this, 'add_stylesheets_and_javascript' ) );
} // end if
} // end respond_to_shortcodeTell me what you think about that ??
Thank you and have a nice day.
Hi UaMV!
Thank you for your usefull plugin.
Even if I’m french I will try to expose you my trouble/resolving in a sort of english.
When I use your plugin directly in my WP project, I have a classical error type : “jquery is not defined”.
In “appear-in-wp.php” on lines 176 to 182, I see jquery enqueueing then 2 scripts jQ-dependants. When I comment line 176 (jQ enqueue) and I add ‘jquery’ in the both next enqueueing function, the trouble is resolved.
ex.
wp_enqueue_script( 'aiwp', AIWP_DIR_URL . 'aiwp.js', array('jquery'), AIWP_VERSION );
instead of
wp_enqueue_script( 'aiwp', AIWP_DIR_URL . 'aiwp.js', array(''), AIWP_VERSION );
I think that depend on project, but that could be an idea to make a hooks or shortcode option like “already_load_jq=true|false” or something like that.
Thank you for your time.
Regards.
ps. I’m beginner on WP, if I do something wrong, just say me ??
]]>Hello sir,
I’m using the <iframe> to embed the player, but I’m wondering how is the shortcode different? Are there any more efficient functionalities?
For now the only way I know to make a room private is to register the room in appear.in with email address.
Are there any easier and more automatic way to do that?
Thank you very much
]]>I understand how to create a private room. Can I use the plugin to claim a room and get access to some of the features available there?
If not through the plugin, can I do that some other way?
Thanks
]]>Hello, friends! I am glad you have been using or are considering to use this plugin on your site. I have had such great success with the appear.in service over the past year or two. I hope your experience is the same.
I am writing to let you know that, as of December 2015, in order for this plugin to operate properly within a Chrome browser, the shortcode must be embedded on a webpage served with the HTTPS protocol.
This limitation comes from Chrome itself. For more information on this announcement view two minutes of this video.
]]>Is it possible to actually use the page content area instead of the sidebar frame? I’d like to build a niche’ site with several different rooms but not as sidebars.
Thanks
]]>Hi,
when entering a video chat room, you always see the message “You are about to enter an appear.in video chat room” and the button below “Enter room”.
Is there any way to press this button automatically or to pass any parameter to join the room automatically, without the need of pressing the button ?
]]>When i click on invite whether with email, facebook or twitter it doesn’t It doesn’t respond – you have to open each invite option with “open link in new window” in order to work. Can you please fix this so when they click with left click to open right away?
Thanks
]]>Hi,
Great plugin! Thank you for this. I just have one little suggestion that would be really awesome to have, of course if it’s possible to achieve it.
So i’m using a Woocommerce website and what i would love to achieve is to set private rooms only available to frontend, logged in users. I can set a page (where there is appearin shortcode) only for logged in users but UX is bad they feel lost if they follow the link (it takes them to custom page)
This would be awesome to have:
If the user is logged out and when he gets the invite link and follows the link, the pop up screen would show up to login and after that to proceed right away to the private chat room.
Would this be possible to achieve and how hard is it?
Thanks!
It would be nice to have a function, that allows to select other WP users and send them an automatic invitation, for example as Buddypress message.
]]>I have an e-shop and i want each product(person) to have his private room. It is possible?
]]>You’re appear.in plugin is working great!
I have a project which would need your plugin.
I am wondering if it is possible we can customize
your plugin, like the labels.
Is white labeling possible with you?
Hope you consider this request.
God bless your work always.
Thank you,
Hector
]]>Appear.in worked until the update last week. Here’s the page it’s on:
https://epcwest.org/video-conferencing/
Here is the shortcode I’ve always used and nothing has changed on this end: [appear_in room=”EPC-POW” type=”public”]
Visitors click on the public room link and nothing happens. Can you help me get it back up and running? Thanks!

]]>Hi,
These plugin carry a lot of hope.
I have spend a lot of time to make this plugin work.
I conclude that if the code is not on the front page, the address sent to the invite is not right.
Could you check please.
Thanks
Best regards,
Régis
I have install appear.in WP plugins but i can’t see text chat option on bottom please let me know
i have visit appear.in i have saw chat text options please help & let me know..
Thanks
]]>Does this plugin work on iPhone/Android?
If no, please tell me if you are going to support.
Hi, Id like to know if the secure peer-to-peer video chat is cryptographically secured? This would make a clear decission to choose appear.in. Ive already tested it on your website and like it!
Love this idea!
It’s easy enough to generate the public room with the shortcodes, but the only way I can seem to get to the private rooms is with this code:
[appear_in type=”public,private,post”]
When I use that code, the private room button functions, but neither the public nor the post buttons function.
Is there a shortcode to just access the private room feature?
Thanks so much!
]]>Hi there,
First off; cool idea.
Wondering if it’s possible (and how to do it) to have a custom background on the rooms we’re creating on our site through your plugin. It’s easy enough to do on the main appear.in site, but not abundantly clear as to how to set that up in the WP plugin.
Best,
Dave
