Is it possible to join a meeting without audio nor video?

[Guillaume_Potier]

Hi there,

I’m trying to setup a specific few-to-many configuration, with 4-5 speakers (audio/video or just audio) to up to 50 “listeners/viewers”.

I think I might be able to achieve that thanks to jitsi_external_api, but it seems that a “viewer” cannot see or ear the speakers if it does not give access to either its webcam or microphone. Is it a known limitation or am I missing something here?

Thanks for your help

Since no dev has bothered, I’ll bite with no other qualification than a very casual browsing of the code :-). From lib-jitsi-meet/modules/RTC/RTCUtils.js lines 230… it seems to me that while Webrtc does allow to separate audio output and input, Jitsi-meet - true to it’s name since in a physical meeting there is no such thing - has not wanted to handle this use case.
