Moderator on moderated.jitsi.net not supported (redirect issue)

[OrionRandD]

How can I have moderator powers in jitsi-meet-electron?
Do you provide this feature?

https://moderated.jitsi.net/

If not, could you add it?
Thx

Good point. We probably need to change things around and do a HEAD request to resolve the real URL... And then parse the jwt and pass it along.

A PR in this space would be welcome.

Thx for replying. Could you make that PR for me? I do now know how to do that... Since I, and yourself, seem to agree in this point here. Another suggestion I would give is NOT to allow jitsi-electron to send an invitation to join a certain room without the person who opened the room to set a password before sending the invitation...

Will do when I have some time.

There is no reason to enforce that, it's the user's responsibility.

While revisiting this and checking how moderated.jitsi.net works, I don't see a way how to enable this into the electron app.

moderated.jitsi.net hides the real URL with JWT and only redirects to it when clicking a button:

Source: https://github.com/jitsi/moderated-meetings/blob/master/src/main/js/screens/Join.tsx#L152-L157

So unless this is changed in moderated.jitsi.net to directly expose the URL containing the JWT, I don't see how this would work in the electron app. Any suggestions @saghul?

[saghul]

@csett86 Yep, you're right. We'd need to add a way to copy the real link.

@saghul I could provide an updated implementation as PR for the moderated-meetings that looks like this:

This changes the room names to url sanitized base64 (ie "/" -> "-" and "+" -> "_") names so that the room names are shorter and then extends the view to 720px so that the normal and moderator URL also look different.

What do you think?

[csett86]

Its not a good idea, it would break all existing moderated meetings by assigning them a new room. I‘ll try a different route

[saghul]

Thanks for looking into this.

[csett86]

I think I got something now that allows to share the moderation link and also keeps backwards compatibility:
