* fix(bbb-html5): customHeartbeat would not close stale sessions, +
The [disabled by default] custom heartbeat included in Meteor's server
does not end connections when they are considered unhealthy/stale, which
deviates a bit from the default implementation. See:
https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/pull/11486.
This commit includes a call to the default heartbeat termination timeout
so sockets are correctly cleaned up when the custom heartbeat is
activated. It also adds a customHeartbeatUseDataFrames config to allow
controlling whether the custom heartbeat should use WS data frames as
valid heartbeats as well - this should only be useful for
testing/debugging purposes and the default behavior (true) is
maintained.
As a side note: this change spun off from an investigation where some
problematic networks were triggering periodic client re-connects due to
the default heartbeat failing. Investigation points to the control
frames being put alongside fragmented WS data frames and the server side
failing to recognize the former - which means pong frames would be missed and
the health check would fail. Since the default heartbeat _does not_
account for data frame traffic (eg DDP payloads), it would shut down the
client's WS even though it was healthy.
The custom heartbeat _does_ account for data frames, which mitigates
that scenario and prevents unecessary reconnections.
* fix(bbb-html5): frontend crash due to undefined vars in customHeartbeat
Meteor frontends may crash when customHeartbeat is enabled
due to an undefined access in the heartbeat`s logger.
Add optional chaining to the session props access so it won`t crash and tune down some log levels around that area.

Centers the icons on the user-list that indicate the user's role, audio
state and whiteboard access. This time using a better strategy where the
centralization is achieved with display flex, align-items and
justify-content.
It's actively blocked in code, but I think that's an oversight -
probably leftover from an initial iteration of the feature.
It should be useful in mobile endpoints and it's also supposed to work
seamlessly due to how the feature is implemented.
Lift the mobile block and expose "camera as content" in the presenter's
actions dropdown.
The original BBBVideoStream termination handlers are being overwritten
by screen sharing's service when "Present camera" is started, which
causes the stream not to be dereferenced in the VIDEO_STREAM_STORAGE
map when the camera presentation stops. This breaks subsequent
camera/present camera attempts for the affected deviceId.
The second issue with is that Chrome isn't assigning the
termination handlers for the screen sharing subsystem - which causes
device/permission ejections to be silent.
This extends screen sharing's trackStreamTermination routine to preserve
whatever previous termination handlers were assigned if the stream was
provided beforehand by an external caller - which should fix both of the
aforementioned issues.
This commit removes the wake lock activation toast along with the
enable/disable buttons, implementing the wake lock implicit activation
behavior. The wake lock feature is implicitly activated if the
`defaultSettings.application.wakeLock` in the `settings.yml` file is set
true. For mobile devices that do not support the API or fail when
requesting a wake lock, toasts are raised explaining that calls will be
dropped when the screen turns off.
In cases where `defaultSettings.application.wakeLock` is set false, users
can enable the wake lock manually through the settings menu.

The original debounce implementation (lodash) preserved the
caller's context - radash didn't, so it was failing and it wasn't noticed.
The new debounce implementation with the native function seems to preserve caller's context, but as a safety measure this commit binds the method to its appropriate scope.
If the autoplay block is triggered in listen only, the connection timer
keeps ticking even if the user correctly accepts the audio play prompt.
That causes an audio re-connect once the timeout expires.
Clear the connection timer if the audio bridge starts with
NotAllowedError as a soft error. For connection purposes, the audio join
procedure worked. The autoplay thing is at the UI/UX level, not WebRTC.
This is an initial, experimental implementation of the feature proposed in
https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/issues/14021.
The intention is to phase out the explicit listen only mode with two
overarching goals:
- Reduce UX friction and increase familiarity: the existence of a separate
listen only mode is a source of confusion for the majority of users
Reduce average server-side CPU usage while also making it possible for
having full audio-only meetings.
The proof-of-concept works based on the assumption that a "many
concurrent active talkers" scenario is both rare and not useful. With
that in mind, this including two server-side triggers:
- On microphone inactivity (currently mute action that is sustained for
4 seconds, configurable): FreeSWITCH channels are held (which translates
to much lower CPU usage, virtually 0%). Receiving channels are switched,
server side, to a listening mode (SFU, mediasoup).
* This required an extension to mediasoup two allow re-assigning producers
to already established consumers. No re-negotiation is done.
- On microphone activity (currently unmute action, immediate):
FreeSWITCH channels are unheld, listening mode is deactivated and the
mute state is updated accordingly (in this order).
This is *off by default*. It needs to be enabled in two places:
- `/etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-webrtc-sfu/production.yml` ->
`transparentListenOnly: true`
- End users:
* Server wide: `/etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-html5.yml` ->
`public.media.transparentListenOnly: true`
* Per user: `userdata-bbb_transparent_listen_only=true`
