Random users start youtube video

#1

Hello,

We use Jitsi for school and sometimes students start a youtube video.
We already took out the code for the webversion but you cant delete this for the app.

Now when you kick someone who started the video the video is gone aswell but you cant see who started the video.

Question: where can you see which user started the youtube video?

Thanks for the help!

If you can’t find who started video then how you kicking them out?

By testing it myself. I joined on my phone to a session I started on the computer. Then started a youtube video through the app on my phone. Then on my computer I kicked the user from the phone. The youtube video was also gone when I did that.

It’s possible to disable the Youtube sharing completely if you don’t neeed it under any circumstances

Remove sharedvideo from TOOLBAR_BUTTONS in usr/share/jitsi-meet/interface_config.js

TOOLBAR_BUTTONS: [
    'microphone', 'camera', 'closedcaptions', 'desktop', 'fullscreen',
    'fodeviceselection', 'hangup', 'profile', 'chat', 'recording',
    'livestreaming', 'etherpad', 'sharedvideo', 'settings', 'raisehand',
    'videoquality', 'filmstrip', 'stats', 'shortcuts',
    'tileview', 'download', 'help', 'mute-everyone', 'security'
],

You said

but interface_config.js just disables the button in the webclient, not in the app.

Sorry, you are right. I forgot the mobile clients

Is there any recent change of this behavior?
