Audio only mode can be used to save bandwidth. In this mode local video is muted
and last N is set to 0, thus disabling all remote video.
When this mode is enabled avatars are shown.
The behavior can be triggered with the toggleAudioOnly action, which is
currently fired with a button.
The following aspects of the conference will change when in audio only mode:
- local video is muted
- last N is set to 0 (effectively muting remote video)
- full-screen mode is exited
- audio mode is set to "audio chat" (default output is the earpiece)
- the wake lock is disengaged
One aspect not handled in this patch is disabling the video mute button while in
audio only mode. The user should not be able to turn back video on in that case.
This is in preparation for an upcoming "audio only mode" feature. Setting last N
will also be required for it, so this patch factors out the action and makes it
public so other modules can reuse it.
In addition, if the value is set to undefined the configured default value (or
-1 if absent) is picked.
On RN we don't use the global APP object, so don't save the store there unless
it's defined, which is the case in the current web version. Also, check for
undefined explicitly, since a "if (!APP)" check will throw a ReferenceError.
As an intermediate step on the path to merging jitsi-meet and
jitsi-meet-react, import the whole source code of jitsi-meet-react as it
stands at
2f23d98424
i.e. the lastest master at the time of this import. No modifications are
applied to the imported source code in order to preserve a complete
snapshot of it in the repository of jitsi-meet and, thus, facilitate
comparison later on. Consequently, the source code of jitsi-meet and/or
jitsi-meet-react may not work. For example, jitsi-meet's jshint may be
unable to parse jitsi-meet-react's source code.
