Webcam pagination has a timed camera negotiation debounce
after a page change is triggered. The goal is to avoid overlapping
negotiation requests on sequential page changes. That value is
configurable and set to 2.5 seconds by default, which is too
conservative for today's standards.
Lower the default pageChangeDebounceTime to 1s.

- Adds a new Help view for unknown error codes
- Correctly detect NotAllowedError (permissions) - they are currently
being treated like unknown errors in the Help modal
- Rephrase NotAllowedError help text; make it more succint and direct
- Rephrase the unknown error help text; make it more succint and direct
- Add error code and message to that view
- Add public.media.audioTroubleshootingLinks to allow referencing KB
links on the Help modal
- See inline docs
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.
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`
