Hello,

is it possible to remove the chat window from recordings? Do I have to modify events.xml and rebuild the video?

Thanks!

Bye

Another quick approach could be to edit the player to ignore the chat and not display.  although someone could still access them if they knew the relative path of data.

There is a setting to make chat users anonymous as well.

regards,
Stephen

We need it once. If we are going to modify player it's off for all recordings.

...in addition to this question I would like to add:


is it possible to render two mp4 files for all recordings, one with chat and one without?

a second post-record-script could do that with another template for the mp4. How could we achieve that?

thanks!

Martin

To remove chat: why don't you modify the data within the published recording?
The chat data is at /var/bigbluebutton/published/presentation/[meeting_id]/slides_new.xml.

By modifying this file, you can even add a chat message after a meeting ends, which is sometimes useful when you want to correct what you have said in a lecture.

That's great. Big thank you!
