Dear Team,

My version is BBB 2.2 Beta-9:
I change file /usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/server/assets/app/config/settings.yml, hidePresentation. 
But, it only shows the boundaries of the presentation area.

The goal: the participant to enter no show presentation, public chat and users list, all hidden. But, webcams side by side only, like video chat layout in flash.

Whats way for this?

Regards,

Cristiano Soares

You need to set "autoSwapLayout: true" also.

If you set just "autoSwapLayout: true" and leave "hidePresentation: false" then it will start with the webcams large and presentation minimized.

There's no configuration to hide the chat.

I just realized that you wanted the chat and user list hidden. You can set "showParticipantsOnLogin: false" and the chat and userlist won't open.

"showParticipantsOnLogin: false" is perfect for me.

But, "autoSwapLayout: true" and "hidePresentation: false" does not allow you to restore the presentation later. i click in restore presentation button, but nothing happens. screenshare not work also.

Looks like the autoSwapLayout has a few bugs with it. I found that I had opened an issue for the the screenshare problem (https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/issues/7325), but I don't think anyone has looked into it. I also opened up a new issue about not being able to restore the presentation (https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/issues/7582). I don't think they'll get into beta-10, but hopefully they can be addressed in 2.2.

Hi,

version 2.2-beta-20 continues the problem to start with webcam only and hidden presentation.
The "autoSwapLayout" and "hidePresentation" parameters do not work for me.

Hi Cristiano,

Got it -- and we're working on that issue for a subsequent update to BigBlueButton 2.2-beta.  You can follow our progress here

Thanks,

But, autoSwapLayout or hidePresentation not work for me. (2.2.0-beta-20).

Version 2.2.0-beta-18 is OK. 

How to start with webcams only and presentation minimized in 2.2.0-beta-20?

and how install specific version 2.2.0-beta-18 now?

Regards,

Cristiano Soares

Hi Christanio,

We're nearing the release of BigBlueButton 2.2-beta-21, which closes this issue



Watch this mailing list for an announcement when it's released and let us know after testing if you are able to start with the presentation minimized.


Regards,... Fred
