Expected Result

Not pinging 5k People at 3am

Actual Result

5k People are pinged at 3am

Problem

The student council uses courses to enshure, that all students have the requisite blockers in their calendars and to make shure that this is present in everyones schedule. This does however mean, that at least one course with a lot of participants does exist.

Suggested Enhancement :sparkles:

We could:

  • Disable chats with more than 500p. This limit is intentionally low, to lower the spam inpact one person can have. Even the largest informatics lectures only have about ~400 Participants.
  • Disable chats alltogether. I have not seen a good use for this feature in my 3 years. This kind of usage must be rare..
  • Make the leave chatroom button more prominent. Currently this one is kind of burried in the top right corner of my device. It would be nice to have this a bit more prominent

Environment

  • Phone: Galaxy S8
  • OS version: Android 9
  • TUM Campus App version: 3.18
  • Language: German

Alternative: disable sound notifications for large groups.

I'd be interested in why - too many other alternatives these days?

The gist is, that normal chat platforms work better (more features like Images/moderation/reactions/... , less bugs like #1277) and have a higher user-adoption rate. For example the SVV course only has 5k people.. we are 48k Students, so this penetration rate is kind of not good.

I guess most people use other platforms (telegram / signal / etc.)

Isn't there a way to disable notifications for one chat at the moment? For me I can't find a way to the chat itself currently 🤔
