Java/Grails' HTTP session inactivity timeout is hardcoded to 4 hours.
This gives less flexibility for long-lived sessions - ie in rare
scenarios where users stay connected for >= that amount of time without
any re-connections or intermediate calls to checkAuthorization.
This commit makes the HTTP session timeout configurable, system-wide, via
bigbluebutton.properties. Default timeout is preserved.
Ideally, we should look into a more permanent solution to avoid
invalidating perfectly healthy user sessions. This commit fixes
nothing in that regard.
Adds support for multiple cameras pins.
The pinned cameras are stored in a FIFO-type queue
When a camera is pinned the oldest one is removed.
The queue size can be set via create parameter 'maxPinnedCameras',
if not defaults to 3.
Include `meetingCameraCap` API param on create and enforce both server and
client to control the number of simultaneous webcams a meeting can have.
Disabled by default.
Include `userCameraCap` API param on create and enforce both server and
client to control the number of simultaneous webcams an user can share.
Default set to 3.
Replace the hardcoded guest's waiting timeout between polling requests - reference used
to remove a guest from the waiting list when the user leaves the waiting page - with a
bbb-web's configuration property.
Move all Etherpad's access control from Meteor to a separated [Node application](https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bbb-pads).
This new app uses [Etherpad's API](https://etherpad.org/doc/v1.8.4/#index_overview)
to create groups and manage session tokens for users to access them. Each group
represents one distinct pad at the html5 client.
- Removed locked users' access to pads: replaced readOnly pad's access with a new pad's content sharing routine
- Pad's access is now controlled by [Etherpad's API](https://etherpad.org/doc/v1.8.4/#index_overview)
- Closed captions edited content now reflects at it's live feedback
- Improved closed caption's dictation mode live feedback
- Moved all Etherpad's API control from Meteor to a separated [app](https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bbb-pads)
- Included access control both in akka-apps and bbb-pads
Add an option to set a default logo to be placed for all created meetings.
The default logo is inserted as a create meeting param for all meetings that
do not have a `logo` param defined. Two new properties were included at
bigbluebutton-web configuration:
- [Boolean] `useDefaultLogo`: enables/disables the use of the default logo
disabled as default
- [String] `defaultLogoURL`: The default logo URL to be fetched by the client
bigbluebutton logo as default
