prlanzarin 4f6e16f8e3 feat(audio): dynamic muteOnStart based on audio user count
The current default setting of muteOnStart=false can lead to performance
issues in larger rooms, especially with the "transparent listen only
mode" and LiveKit, as proven by load testing. In contrast,
muteOnStart=true helps mitigate these issues but complicates the entry
process for smaller meetings, such as 1-on-1 sessions or small classes.
Additionally, the ability to override muteOnStart via the API can create
scalability issues if not managed properly.

Add a new akka-apps flag `voiceConf.muteOnStartThreshold` which acts as
a trigger that forces muteOnStart=true when the number of audio
participants reaches the configured threshold. 0 means no threshold
(disabled).

This trigger overrides any API parameter or static configurations
related to muteOnStart, as well as the client's meeting mute actions.
Pending:
  - Remove MeetingStatus.meetingMute state side effects from the client's
    "Mute all" and "Mute all except presenter" actions. They should no
    longer alter the meeting mute state once this becomes default (just
    mute users instead).

BigBlueButton

BigBlueButton is an open-source virtual classroom designed to help teachers teach and learners learn.

BigBlueButton supports real-time sharing of audio, video, slides (with whiteboard annotations), chat, and the screen. Instructors can engage remote students with polling, emojis, multi-user whiteboards, shared notes, and breakout rooms. During the session, BigBlueButton generates analytics that are visible to moderators in the Learning Analytics Dashboard.

Presenters can record and playback content for later sharing with others.

We designed BigBlueButton for online learning, it can be used for many other applications as well. The educational use cases for BigBlueButton are

  • Online tutoring (one-to-one)
  • Flipped classrooms (recording content ahead of your session)
  • Group collaboration (many-to-many)
  • Online classes (one-to-many)

The latest version is BigBlueButton 2.7. You can install BigBlueButton 2.6 on Ubuntu 20.04 using bbb-install.sh within 30 minutes (or your money back 😉).

For full technical documentation of BigBlueButton -- including architecture, features, API, and GreenLight (the default front-end) -- see https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/.
