Note: If you are using Jitsi client program you dont need any plugin for call and any SIP number. Because Jitsi client can call with audio/video over XMPP like as Microsoft Lync and you can share your desktop like as Skype. You can download jitsi client program via https://jitsi.org/Main/Download official page. We will configure jitsi program at next sections.

In general plugin configurations under the Server tab. Also go to the Server -> Jitsi Videobridge section. Add the SIP username, password and SIP registration server and click save button:

If we want to set SIP number for each user, before this we must add XMPP users to our system and then go to the Server -> Phone -> Add new Phone Mapping section and create SIP users(SIP and XMMP on the same server). For example we will add SIP number for existing namaz.bayramli XMPP user.

Then download Jitsi XMPP/SIP client program to your Windows machine and configure as follows (The official page: https://jitsi.org/Main/Download :File -> Add new account > XMPP -> XMPP Username Password -> Add
