Just tested on the demo server and getting the same results of requiring
needing to have a WB tab open.
If you enter a room that does not have a WB "tab" open, then you can not
enable audio or video. You can click on the icons and it says they are
enabled but you will not get the "pop up" box previously talked about
(see 1st image).
If the room already has a WB tab open then all works as expected, it is
just if you enter a room when no WB tab open, then it doesn't work.
Looks like this is only the case if you have not "hidden" the WB element
in the room settings. If you hide that element, then it works as
expected. With WB element not hidden then you must have a WB tab open
prior to clicking on the mic/cam functions to have the ability to
broadcast audio/video.
I figured that was the reasoning on the pop out boxes as there was no
other way to control the "audio" of the user. The minimize function is
the best part and I normally minimize then and move them to the top of
the screen. If you move them too far down then you will create a
vertical slide bar as it tries to extend the area for the volume slider
extension when selected. Can those elements be relocated to the users
section in their name; or create a new collapsible area (like the
activities area) where you place each individuals audio/video breakout
box without too much code revision? The new collapsible area would be
ideal as that would not allow each box to cover up the WB area if it is
being used. BBB does it in the fashion of the collapsible window along
the width of the bottom of the screen for the users using cam, not sure
how they handle the audio volume controls as those do not use breakout
boxes and my use with that is very limited.
Not a must have, but just a thought on future release possibilities
Thank you for your time.

Hello Aaron,
Could you please be more specific on WB issue?
I just have tested: user can enable audio/video in room with WB
completely turned off (seems to me works as expected)
WB tabs can be added/removed only by the users with
moderator/presenter role, this is by design
According "pop-out-box"es: I believe these ones are useful cause this
is the only way to Refresh/Mute/Unmute/Change volume
I understand your concerns regarding space utilization.
I thought minimize function can help here ....
I would appreciate to hear your thoughts how this can be improved

I have noticed that you must have a whiteboard open for the users
or admin to broadcast their mic or cam. Once in the room and
active you can delete the whiteboard and they still function, but
any new user into the room can not activate theirs. I search jira
and didn't find anything referencing this so didn't know if it was
a requirement or a bug.
On the same line is it possible if the user is just sharing their
mic to not create the "pop out box"? Wasn't sure if that is a
limitation from flash or just a code updated needed. While you
can minimize, resize, and move the boxes, if you have 5 or 6 users
on the mic at one time, your screen becomes cluttered with all the
pop out boxes from each user.
