Allow users to select microphone mode when microphone is locked instead of autochoose listen only

[cipi1965]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I think this is easier for users to just be unlocked and unmute instead of disconnecting from call and reconnecting with microphone.

Describe the solution you'd like I think when lockSettingsDisableMic is enabled users should be able to choose microphone mode for subsequent usage.

The disablemic setting is supposed to disable the microphone. No need to change this. What you actually want is to mute people after joining. See here https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/2.2/customize.html#mute-all-users-on-startup

If you just set mute after join people can unmute itself, i want to lock it. Some participants are not computer savy and it's difficult to explain every time they need to disconnect from audio conversation and reconnect with microphone, it would be simpler in the way i explained.

True, it is currently creating difficulty for users. Microphone locking should not disconnect a microphone to connected users,, only prevent unmute from connected users. An alternative solution would be to not allow unmute when using "mute all users except presentor" from the geer button. This avoids the need to "lock" microphones, And will leave the "lock" option only for Webinar sessions, with many users

This imho is a valid bugreport which should be kept open. Jossef-767 explained the problem above.

The stale-bot has a high false-positive rate. :/
