Hi Umair,

The default welcome message is set in bigbluebutton.properties, see


The default welcome message can be overridden by the front-end.  Do you have control over the front-end that your users are using?

You can disable chat completely by editing

  /usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/server/assets/app/config/settings.yml

and disabling chat on the server

  chat:

    enabled: false



Restart BigBlueButton.  When users join the session, there will not be any chat

This might be because of browser cache, try clearing cache .

Hello, will passing the 'lockSettingsDisablePublicChat' to true via the API call disable the chat feature, or the chat can only be disabled via settings? We are looking to manage the public chat status based on the user roles.

Use https://mconf.github.io/api-mate/ to test out how this works on your server would be easiest way to find out how BBB works.

 

These forums are all monitored by volunteers as time allows and expecting someone to answer with NEED HELP!! In subject line will probably delay a response 😊

 

Only 2 roles in bbb,  moderator, attendee   this param sets the default if you pass on an api call.

 

The moderator can always change the settings once in the meeting dynamically.

 

Regards,

Stephen
