Thanks for reporting @SamuelWei !

I'm not sure if this will be supported long term, to be honest. We use it in BBB 3.0.x with the experimental livekit support but once the dust settles I imagine it won't be needed. cc @prlanzarin to say if we should add it to the api docs or keep it in the experimental livekit section only.

IMO these will likely become long-term API parameters. BBB has switched media stacks 5 or 6 times now, half of those had transition strategies where multiple of them were supported concurrently (Red5/Kurento, Kurento/mediasoup, FS/mediasoup, mediasoup/LiveKit) - and all of them had different weird unofficial API toggles via userdata or metadata. Having something standardized would be good even if it's mostly unused during "stable" periods.

This is my opinion, though. We've not discussed this yet internally to see if others agree - hence why they're not in the API docs yet. We should keep this way for now (restricted to LiveKit docs) until this has been properly discussed.
