UI team suggested a few adjustments to the audio settings modal:
- Larger (24px/1.5rem) margin between content and headers
- Rephrasing of modal title, subtitle and volume indicator label
- Change the "audio feedback" button to an outline or link styled
button (there are currently two primary buttons and we want users to
focus on the "Join audio" one)
Implement the suggested changes. The approach for the audio feedback
button is link-styled.
* The prop presentationIsOpen is marked as required in Presentation(null)
* The prop isPresentationManagementDisabled is marked as required in actions-dropdown(null)
* The prop autoJoin is marked as required in wake-lock(null)
* Al children must have key identifiers (userListParticipants)
* The prop presentationUploadExternalDescription is marked as required in presentation-uploadres
Safari may enter a microphone permission check loop due to buggy behavior
in the Permissions API. When permission isn't permanently denied, gUM
requests fail with a NotAllowedError for a few seconds. During this time,
the permission state remains 'prompt' instead of transitioning to 'denied'
and back to 'prompt' after the timeout.
This leads to an issue where, on retrying while in 'prompt' + blocked,
the client loops through gUM checks via: 1) checking permission in the API,
2) receiving 'prompt', so trying gUM, 3) gUM fails, 4) returning to the
modal and checking permission again because the API still says 'prompt'.
Additionally, the `isUsingAudio` flag incorrectly counts the local echo
test/audio settings modal as "using audio," which toggles the flag on/off,
triggering the useEffect that causes the loop more frequently.
To fix this, remove the unnecessary AudioModal permission check that
causes the loop. Also, exclude "isEchoTest" from the `isUsingAudio` flag.
mediasoup workers are currently for general use,
regardless of stream type. This makes it difficult to give
different scheduling priorities for audio workers or prevent
noise from video streams, when our goal is to give higher
priority to audio in all ends of the system.
Set `mediasoup.dedicatedMediaTypeWorkers.audio` to `auto`. This will spin up
`ceil((min(nproc, 32) * 0.8) + (max(0, nproc - 32))` mediasoup workers
dedicated to handling audio streams.
See https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/issues/20966.
The order of the configured mediasoup listenIps influence the server's candidate priorities.
There's not a big impact to this, but if we want to be friendly to RFC 8421 (and to Happy Eyeballs), we should suggest sorting IPv6 first.
Change docs so that the IPv6 config in mediasoup comes first.
Firefox incorretly displays placeholder audio device labels in the audio
settings/echo test modal when audio is disconnected. This issue arises
due to two quirks:
- Firefox does not support the 'microphone' query from the Permissions
API, causing a fallback gUM permission check.
- Firefox omits device labels from `enumerateDevices` if no streams
are active, even if gUM permission is granted. This behavior differs
from other browsers and causes our `enumerateDevices` handling to
assume that granted permission implies labels are present. This
failed since we clear streams before resolving the fallback gUM.
We now run an additional `enumerateDevices` call in `AudioSettings` when
a selected input device is defined. This ensures `enumerateDevices` is
re-run when a new stream is active, adding the correct device labels in
Firefox and improving device listings in all browsers. We've also
enhanced error handling in the enumeration process and fixed a false
positive in `hasMicrophonePermission`.
There's a regression in 3.0's I/O device selector where default output
devices are not marked as selected in the input-stream-live-selector
component unless the user explicitly selects them. This issue can also affect
input devices, although less commonly than output due to the system's ability
to infer the selected input device ID after the user joins audio.
When a device is the first in the list and no currentDeviceId is set in
the client, treat the first device returned by enumerateDevices as the
system default and hence selected, in accordance with the "Media Capture
and Streams API", Section 9.2, enumerateDevices algorithm.
* test: update and improve Ask for feedback on logout test - add more steps, check for different buttons, check POST request after sending feedback
* test: add missing data-test prop for sendFeendbackButton
* test: fix sendFeedbackButton data-test
When `listenOnlyMode` is `false` and the audio dialog's "Cancel" action is
clicked, the modal incorrectly re-renders instead of closing. Additionally,
the "Cancel" action is mislabeled as "Back."
This fix ensures the audio dialog closes properly when there are no options
to select (i.e., `listenOnlyMode=false`). The `skipAudioOptions` method is
revised to consider `listenOnlyMode` and ignore the "content" state.
Ignoring the "content" state allows options to be skipped even if a subscreen
is rendered (e.g., returning from the AudioSettings modal). The check for
`content == null` combined with `skipAudioOptions` is only necessary when
rendering the main modal. The `content == null` check has been moved to
the relevant section.
When listen only mode is deactivated and an user joins audio, an incorrect
remount of AudioSettings can trigger a spurious mute toggle. This happens
because AudioManager clears the `isConnecting` flag before setting the
`isConnected` flag. This creates a brief period where audio is flagged as
"disconnected," leading to a remount and unmount cycle that causes unwanted
mute/unmute actions due to AudioSettings' logic of muting/unmuting
active devices.
Ensure the `isConnected` flag is set before clearing the
`isConnecting` flag, preventing audio from being incorrectly flagged as
disconnected.
v2.14.1
---
* fix(screenshare): log presenter/viewer stop on all scenarios
* refactor(screenshare): add presenter data to viewer logs
* refactor(video): add video negotiation and flowing logs
* build(mediasoup): 3.14.9
Prevents changes in the presentation state while sharing media from
updating the presentation last state value. Additionally adds a missing
prop value of generic content state.
Removes the duplicate presentation pile dispatch for external video, as
an identical dispatch runs when the external video component is mounted.
This duplication did not cause any noticeable issues for the user but
resulted in the external video being added to the pile twice.
The plugin loader startup logs aren't following the logger convention,
which makes them hard to work with when post-processing logs.
The appended error message is also not useful since we're logging a
Event variant raw (which either outputs {} or nonsense like { isTrusted:
etc }).
Make the plugin "loaded" and "error" logs adhere to logger conventions.
In the future, the error log could use some tuning - there's no useful
info about root cause here.
- Move askForConfirmationOnLeave into AudioContainer
- Get rid of the unstable useMuteMicrophone hook, which returns a new reference every time the user gets muted/unmuted. Use the stable useToggleVoice hook instead.
The isSharing var is content type agnostic, so it's picking up camera as
content to flag the actions-bar button loading state.
Change the loading flag to track isScreenBroadcasting
(contentType=screen, local || global) and isScreenGloballyBroadcasting
(contentType=screen, global only). Fixes the camera as content false
positive as well as the loading state itself.
