Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Hello, i discovered some day ago that jitsi meet could be runned with ejabberd (https://blog.jabberhead.tk/2020/03/16/install-jitsi-meet-alongside-ejabberd/). I found the idea of jitsi meet just some component added to an existing xmpp server reallly nice. Jitsi meet is currently more a "all in one software" than just an external feature for xmpp.
As i read the article there seems to be only packaging and documentation issue to handle a better support.

In fact, that's not totally true. Jitsi meet made a tweak on prosody to handle per room access with jwt, see https://github.com/jitsi/lib-jitsi-meet/blob/master/doc/tokens.md.
As far i read, we can't do that now on ejabberd. As the feature make sense in some context, it may be interesting to have way to make it work too in ejabberd without specific homemade plugin tweaking, for the jitsi meet usecase but not only.

Describe the solution you'd like
Make jwt auth per room feature of jitsi meet work with ejabberd.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Another solution may be some adaptation from jitsi-meet side. I'm not sure the way they tweak prosody is the "good way" to do. But it's working.

Additional context
Here are the customs plugins that prosody that jitsi meet team do create :https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/tree/master/resources/prosody-plugins . others plugins looks really specific to jitsi use case so i don't think there are important feature to support.
