Master branch is updated: https://github.com/openmeetings/openmeetings-docker it is now will create machine with 4.0.0
According to the "Just text on WB", you can create text block and paste your text in it ... Current 4.0.0 WB is based on HTML5 canvas and actively uses WebSockets, you can put text on it, you can add vector graphics, you will be able to add html as soon as I'll find the way to convert html to vector graphics ... or you can send me the link to some working example (we are currently using this http://fabricjs.com/ library) Why link and ifarme will not work: WB need to synchronized between all participant, i can not guarantee this in case iframe is used (plus there will be some security restrictions) According Flash: unfortunately Flash is currently the only option for cross platform and cross browser Audio/Video. WebRTC is the way we are moving BUT it still has cross-browser incompatibilities, it is P2P (all bandwidth will go to your device, not to the server), it doesn't allow recordings. Right now 4.0.0 will use Flash, and we will start investigation in following directions: 1) at least remove Flash requirements for attendees i.e. to play user audio/video using HTML5 <video> tag. The problem here is: <video> tag does not support "live" streams :( 2) Adapt WebRTC for our needs and solve all issues mentioned above But all this requires time ...
