Hi all, We can see a surge of users reporting: Audio is not working, camera not working, can't hear or can't talk.
OpenMeetings has a really nice UI to test/record your Mic/Cam, record few seconds, playback. But most users don't use it. Cause when they are inside the room, its too late. They already tried enabling their cam/mic without success. So they just leave. In comparable product this check is done *before* you enter the room. How about we: - If the room type is conference or you are a moderator entering the room, you first will be redirected to "test-screen" - before entering the room - the "test-screen" shows the current "Test Audio/Video settings" UI - this redirect to the "test-screen" can be disabled via Admin>Config so current functionality stays as-is for people don't like it - users have a checkbox to say "do not ask me again" so they won't see this, but they can edit those settings - this "test-screen" will also be shown if you user the invitationHash, and the room is of type "conference" - there is an option in Admin>Rooms to enable/disable this "test-screen" so that you can enable/disable it also for other room types. Conference room is true by default, others are false by default. What do you think about this? I think such a "test-screen" or "pre-conference-room" as option has a lot of potential. Also for other use-cases. So it would be a good option to add. This could be a feature for 5.0.1 or later. I could spend some time on this in another branch.
