this fixes a crash in bbb-html5 when someone uses phone dialin. The
crash resulted in users joining the audio convference but not being
visible in the users list.
Fixed stack trace:

Includes a new create param/web conf called allowModsToEjectCameras, false by
default.
Ejection does not work in breakout rooms or with non-mod users
Ejection closes _all_ webcams shared by the target user
I have growing concerns about gain node`s effect on audio quality the way it
was implemented, so I opted to fall back to HTMLMediaElement`s volume control
for the time being until we can gauge quality impacts properly later on
Add a new configuration flag enableVolumeControl, false by default while the
feature undergoes a field trial
- forceRelayOnFirefox: whether TURN/relay usage should be forced to work
around Firefox's lack of support for regular nomination when dealing with
ICE-litee peers (e.g.: mediasoup).
* See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1034964
- iOS endpoints are ignored from the trigger because _all_ iOS browsers
are either native WebKit or WKWebView based (so they shouldn't be affected)
The idea is to run a loadbalancer node which maps each BBB node to a
path. That way each user gets only one gUM permission query for a
cluster. The loadbalancer node only serves the html5 client, each BBB
node will serve its own API and handle the websockets for freeswitch and
bbb-webrtc-sfu.
Configuring a cluster setup
===========================
* let bbb-lb.example.com be the loadbalancer node
* let bbb-01.eaxmple.com be a BBB node
Loadbalancer
------------
On the loadbalancer node add an nginx configuration similar to this one
for each BBB node:
```
location /bbb-01/html5client/ {
proxy_pass https://bbb-01.example.com/bbb-01/html5client/;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade";
}
```
BBB Node
--------
On the BBB node add the following options to
`/etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-web.properties`:
```
defaultHTML5ClientUrl=https://bbb-lb.example.com/bbb-01/html5client/join
presentationBaseURL=https://bbb-01.example.com/bigbluebutton/presentation
accessControlAllowOrigin=https://bbb-lb.example.com
```
Add the following options to `/etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-html5.yml`:
```
public:
app:
basename: '/bbb-01/html5client'
bbbWebBase: 'https://bbb-01.eaxmple.com/bigbluebutton'
learningDashboardBase: 'https://bbb-01.eaxmple.com/learning-dashboard'
media:
stunTurnServersFetchAddress: 'https://bbb-01.eaxmple.com/bigbluebutton/api/stuns'
sip_ws_host: 'bbb-01.eaxmple.com'
presentation:
uploadEndpoint: 'https://bbb-01.eaxmple.com/bigbluebutton/presentation/upload'
```
Create the following unit file overrides:
* `/etc/systemd/system/bbb-html5-frontend@.service.d/cluster.conf`
* `/etc/systemd/system/bbb-html5-backend@.service.d/cluster.conf`
with the following content:
```
[Service]
Environment=ROOT_URL=https://127.0.0.1/bbb-01/html5client
```
Change the nginx `$bbb_loadbalancer_node` variable to the name of the
load balancer node in `/etc/bigbluebutton/nginx/loadbalancer.nginx` to
allow CORS requests:
```
set $bbb_loadbalancer_node https://bbb-lb.example.com
```
Prepend the mount point of bbb-html5 in all location sections except
from the `location @html5client` section in
`/etc/bigbluebutton/nginx/bbb-html5.nginx`
```
location @html5client {
...
}
location /bbb-01/html5client/locales {
...
}
```
Splits screenshare stream into video and audio and adds gain node to audio
stream in order to permit volume control by the user. Volume is normalized
between [0, 2](muted and 2x boost).
Previously we were using the same for listenonly, which for default
environments points to kurento, and didn't make any difference in media server
selection.
This could be problematic in those environments where meta param
for listeonly media server is set , though.
Fullaudio has now it's own meta param that can be passed through API:
"meta_media-server-fullaudio"
This commit allows user to join/leave audio using the fullaudio bridge.
This is still under development, but to use this now we must set values of
skipCheck to false, and defaultFullAudioBridge to fullaudio. This
depends on newest version of bbb-webrtc-sfu
Remove padIds from the closed captions MongoDB collection subscription.
Users now have to fetch the padId from Meteor when needed. Meteor is
responsible for checking the user's access level and return the
proper id.
Remove padIds from the shared notes MongoDB collection subscription.

ICE lite servers (eg mediasoup) dont need candidates signaled out-of-band; neither does KMS in certain scenarios
Disable their signaling saves us some ticks in bbb-webrtc-sfu and some bandwidth all around
Restored the old behavior when ending breakout rooms while user is in the
breakout audio transfer, which is to the trigger the reconnection to the audio
in the main room.
This behavior could be improved by (instead of reconnecting) transfering user
back to the main room, but this requires some changes in akka-apps/fsesl
which can be treated in a different issue.
Closes#13242
Applies to video, listen only and screen sharing
New metadata values: media-server-video, media-server-listenonly, media-server-screenshare; parameter is a String
Added support for getStats in screenshare's service. This works similar
to the getStats for video provider, and the information retrieved from
screenshare is added to the video information for cameras.
We now let audio-manager log errors, using the specified error code.
These errors are still logged in bridge layer, but as a warning.
This commit doens't change error codes behavior, they are still being
logged as errors and with the same code numbers.
Scenario: presenter`s client could crash when the presenter changed while they were sharing their screen
That is due to a race condition on the stop procedure in the bridge: two stops can be triggered (one from the server-side websocket tear off and another from the client itself detecting the presenter change)
That could create a scenario where the broker was cleaned in one stop procedure after the second had checked its availability, causing an attribute access of a null member
Here's what we do when user activates mic:
1 - When we do something similar to listenonly's joining process
until we find a valid candidate-pair. The information about this
local candidate is store.
2 - We then start a new userAgent, and as soon as browser finds
a candidate with the same local ip address, we leave only this
candidate in the SDP and send this to FreeSWITCH. SDP should
contain only a single candidate.
3 - The rest of signaling process is basically the same.
Code style fixes and remove translations other than en to avoid conflicts with transifex.

Remove parts of a previous connection monitor.
To add some context (as far as my memory goes) to the multiple connection
monitor features the product has, `stats` (currently named `connection status`)
was introduced at the Flash client back in ~2016. @fcecagno and I did it
as a BigBlueButton's Summit activity. Our work was squashed into a single
commit in 92554f8b3e :).
I'm not sure about the whole story behind `network information` (the late
connection monitor added to the HTML5 client) but I assume it should work
as a collector for a bunch of different connectivity monitors. I remember
when it was introduced but I don't know why it wasn't adopted. My best guess
would be because of some performance issues the `user list` had back then.
To follow on why `connection status` replaced `network information` at the
HTML5 client, when I did the `multiple webcams` feature I had to refactor
a big chunk of the `video provider` (#8374). Something that wasn't really
helping there was the adaptation of `stats` that was made to show local
feedback for each webcam connection. Although this feature wasn't being
used anymore, `network information` did rely on that to build up data. With
this monitor gone I assumed it was my responsibility to provide an alternative
so I promoted Mconf's port of the Flash `stats` monitor to BigBlueButton's
HTML5 client (#8579).
Well, that's my perspective on how things went for those features. If
anyone would like to correct me on something or add something else on
that history I would appreciate to know.
To avoid re-rendering of the poll answers when the poll panel is opened and closed,
this commit uses the currentPoll object to determine wether results should be rendered.
This patch adds a new option to hide the individual answers to the presenter
when starting a poll. This includes hiding the answers for the presenter and
informing the other users that the current poll is anonymous.
See #9524
Refactor the external videos collection, moving the logic and functionalities
outside of /imports/api/meetings to a new location in /external-videos/server/modifiers
in order to decrease the coupling between the functionalities, favoring
the maintenance.
BigBlueButton v2.3 uses an instance prefix while generating padIds. Closed
captions was missing this information when updating pad's content for dictation
mode.
Add PollPublishedRecordEvent with all infos (also fix duplicated handlePollStoppedEvtMsg)
Add answer text to UserRespondedToPollRecordEvent (useful for custom answers)
Add type in PollStartedRecordEvent
When joining breakout audio, the output device selected in the main room is
used in breakout.
When returning from breakout rooms, the output audio device previously set in
the main room is restored.
Some specific info:
SIPSession doesn't handle Storage anymore, we do this in SIPBridge, since
it has more info about the current selected device and it doesn't depend of
a session being oppened.
We also now pass the output device ID when joining audio sessions. We can
then keep this information in the Storage.
Closes#11663
This commit contains three fixes: one already reported and two detected
during the investigation of the solution.
This started as a fix for firefox (#12023), but i also fixed the muted
alert/banner when device changes: the banner wasn't detecting device changes,
unless audio was deactived/actived.
There's another fix for the microphone stream: we now keep sender's track
disabled if it was already disabled for the sender's track of the previous
selected device.
Also did small refactor for eslint checking.
Some technical information: in sip bridge (bridge/sip.js), setInputStream and
liveChangeInputDevice function were both fully turned into promises, which
guarantees we have everything ready when it resolves to the respective values.
This helps AudioManager (audio-manager/index.js) to sequentially sets and
tracks the state of the current microphone stream (inputStream), when calling
liveChangeInputDevice function: we first set the current stream to null,
creats a new one and then set it to the newly created value - this is needed
because MutedAlert (muted-alert/component.jsx) can then gracefully
allocate/deallocate the cloned stream when it is set to a non-null/null value
(the cloned stream is used for speech detection with hark).
In MutedAlert we also make sure to enable the cloned stream's audio
tracks, just in case the user change the device when muted (audio track is
disabled in this case), which also leaves the cloned stream muted (we then
enable the track to allow speech detection).
Closes#12023
Video streams can be sorted by voice floor activity in the client according to FreeSWITCH´s floor events. The feature works together with pagination, essentially giving an Last-N like experience while not disrupting too much
Made video stream sorting extensible in a way. The sorting modes for pagination and unbounded can be configured in settings.yml and new sorting modes can be added to the stream sorting util under video-provider. Inline docs explain how to do that
Changed how the stream ID attribute from video-streams collection was passed to downstream components; we had an array map that was executed every change just to map stream to cameraId, which is bizarre. So I changed the cameraId usage in downstream components to be conformat with the collection attributes and shaved off the map where it wasnt needed
Add better selectors to video-list-item container´s VoiceUser fetch
Etherpad has a limitation of 50 characters for it's pad ids. Although
our SHA1 hash function generates 40 characters length values, after
prefixing (Meteor's instance id) and suffixing (closed captions support)
the pad id we can reach an invalid size.
Firefox doesn't create a device called 'default' and we were trying
to set this when user is joining the room. We don't do this anymore, letting
devices to be changed when there's some user request.
Moved outputDeviceId inputDeviceId information to be managed in bridge
(just like we do with inputDeviceId), we don't store this duplicated
information in audio container anymore.
Fixed the eslint warning in "playAlertSound(url) { ..."
We are safe to let users try to change input/output devices because the
device list is retrieved from enumerateDevices.
Allow listenonly users to change output devices
Fixed dynamic audio device change for firefox
Fixed shortcuts for audio join/leave
Show (with a bold font) the current selected device
[performance] Prevent calling mediaDevices.enumerateDevices every time we render
the selector. This adds a delay (~200ms, on my chrome setup) to render this component
[performance] Do not call enumerateDevices to search for new devices, instead we listen on mediaDevices.deviceChange event
Small refactoring and fixed a few errors that were being throw in browser's console
Fixed device selection when this is done in audio-settings modal
Fallback to default device when current device is removed
Truncate device name length
Renamed "Input","Output" labels to "Microphone","Speakers", respectively
Update eslint rule for accessKey
- Removed the connection-status history from the user list's gear
icon and now is opened by the connection-status button. Moderators will
render the same modal as before and viewers will only have access to their
own data.
- Added data-savings shortcut at the connection-status modal.
- Added websocket round-trip time.
Since Meteor was split in multiple process and events started to be
filtered by instances, all Etherpad's Redis events were being discarded.
Etherpad has a Redis' publisher plugin that is unaware of BigBlueButton's
existence. All the communication between them is kept simple with minimal
of internal data exchange. The concept of distincts subscribers at Meteor's
side broke part of this simplicity and, now, Etherpad has to know which
instance must receive it's messages. To provide such information I decided
to include Meteor's instance as part of the pad's id. Should look like:
- [instanceId]padId for the shared notes
- [instanceId]padId_cc_(locale) for the closed captions
With those changes the pad id generation made at the recording scripts had to
be re-done because there is no instance id available. Pad id is now recorded at
akka-apps and queried while archiving the shared notes.
Modified the previous implementation of the whiteboard individual access to remove
multiple Collections dependency on this feature. Multi-user whiteboard is now an
array instead of a boolean value and most of the access control can be synchronized
and handled by akka-apps.
Moderators are able to send a message to the meeting's guest lobby. This new
event reaches bbb-web and is sent to the guest user with her/his status response
while polling. All guest users that are waiting for acceptance will be able to
read this message.
enableGuestLobbyMessage is disabled by default.
Without 'exact' match, the browser fallbacks to the default inputDeviceId
This prevents the error (input device error) when breakout is ended and we try
to skipCheck the microphone when user returns to main room (assuming the
user had the microphone active before joining breakout room).

After audio reconnection, a muted user would have it's microphone unmuted by default, unless muteOnStart is set to true. This fix this problem.
