My local 2.4RC2 server does not allow a webcam (media not reached to the server) during the development. Is there a way to enable the webcam when the client is initiated by "npm start"?

I have tried some combinations of the parameters described here:
, with no luck.

When I Install the code in the production mode by meteor build and tar commands, the webcam appears without problems.

Have you verified that the `public.app.kurento.wsUrl` config is set up correctly?
It isn't by default in dev envs and should be something along these lines: "wss://<your-server-domain>/bbb-webrtc-sfu"

Alternatively you can guarantee that it's always set up (prod and dev) in the overlay file @ /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-html5.yml.

Hi prlanzarin,

I forgot to change the line wsUrl in setting.yml. My bad!
You know, so many branches, so many tests, probably I was almost sleeping then..
Thanks for the quick help, anyway!

No worries.

> You know, so many branches, so many tests

I recommend using the overlay file, then. If you set it there, you'll only need to do it once
and you won't need to worry about stashing/resetting the wsUrl config in the versioned settings.yml.
See: https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/admin/configuration-files.html#local-overrides-for-configuration-settings

That's the best. I didn't know. Thanks a lot!
