Hi!

Is it possible to create a meeting and all the users at their entrance to be automatically muted?

A setting through API maybe?

thanx

Hi Giannis,

Not at the moment, but you can come close.  If as moderator you enable 'Mute All', then it will mute all current users (who are not locked) *and* all users who subsequently join.

That way, once the session starts, you won't be disturbed by noise created by latecomers.  If a viewer is causing noise (unmutes their microphone) and won't mute themselves again, as moderator you can lock their audio (click the lock icon) and mute them.  Thereafter they will remain muted.

Regards,... Fred

Hi!

I'd like to create a demo meeting (like the one in the BBB API) for the users to test the BBB environment,but I'd like when they login to be mutted.

So, it isn't possible yet? Couldn't it be coded?

Thanx a lot for the reply

Hi  Giannis,

>  So, it isn't possible yet? Couldn't it be coded? 

It's certainly possible to add, but there are lots of items already in works for BigBlueButton 0.81 (the current version).  See


 
We've opened an enhancement issue to capture this request.  See




To understand how we prioritize features between each release, see



So, no promises we'll be able to implement it in 0.81, but see the above link on ways you can influence the features chosen for each release.


Regards,... Fred

Giannis.

You can edit the freeswitch dialplan configuration, and add
+flags{mute} to wideband like wideband+flags{mute} in the conference
statement, then reloadxml in fscli so it will take effect.

than every audio joins muted by default, i have test this in .8 and
it works fine.

But its a server wide config and every meeting is effected.

regards,
Stephen
