Hi Madhukar,

Right now, if you want to modify the HTML5 client, the best approach is to modify the source.  See


Just curious, what are the changes that you want to make?

Hi, 

Also i have modified in /home/firstuser/dev/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-html5/private/config/ but problem remains same, Presently i have created development environment only for HTML5 not for Flash client, is it mandatory for HTML5, Alos in developed HTML5 client am unable to see webcam icon, in Packaged client everything is working fine except skip audio test & auto webcam sharing..

any help would be appreciated 

Thanks,
Madhukar

There's already a skipCheck option in settings-production.json and it should be working fine in 2.0. Auto-joining of the webcam isn't part of 2.0, but is being put into BBB 2.2. If you want auto joining of webcams now, you will need to make changes to the source code to add it in.

I believe you need to turn on video in the kurento section of settings-development.json when running in development mode. It requires HTTPS also.

Potentially better news about auto joining webcams. There is an option in 2.0 to set a meta-parameter on the join API call that will auto-share the webcam. https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/blob/v2.0.x-release/bbb-api-demo/src/main/webapp/demoHTML5Video.jsp#L81

This is being changed in 2.2 to be a configuration option and also a join parameter.

Hi Chad, 

Thanks for your mail,

There's already a skipCheck option in settings-production.json and it should be working fine in 2.0. 

I have modified skipcheck as True but it is not working on default client 

 If you want auto joining of webcams now, you will need to make changes to the source code to add it in.. 

Can you please suggest me those changes on source code 

I believe you need to turn on video in the kurento section of settings-development.json when running in development mode. It requires HTTPS also.  

yes, i have made these changes, after these changes it is showing webcam icon, but after sharing the webcam total screen showing as blank, i don't know where is the mistake 

please help me in this

Thanks & Regards,
Madhukar
