How can I use breakout rooms?

Hi,

I apparently am missing something but how can I use/enable the new breakout room feature with the docker setup? I can't find any options in the GUI to use them. Is there any documentation available where I could look? (I have ENABLE_BREAKOUT_ROOMS=1 in my .env file.)

Thanks,

Jacco

Make sure you are running the latest stable. Then check the participants pane.

I'm running stable-6726-1 but I can't find it in the participants pane. What should I see? (I'm sorry, I feel a bit dumb...)

Only moderators can see it. If you are a moderator you'll see a "add breakout room" button.

I found it: in my custom-config.js file I override config.toolbarButtons, and there the 'participants-pane' was missing. After that it was available, but I still missed the button for 'Add breakout room'. After some more research I found that the problem is this: When you add ENABLE_BREAKOUT_ROOMS=1 to the .env file, in the generated config.js this is reflected as config.hideAddRoomButton = true;

while this should be: config.hideAddRoomButton = false;

the problem is on line 94 in /web/rootfs/defaults/settings-config.js:

... {{ $ENABLE_BREAKOUT_ROOMS := .Env.ENABLE_BREAKOUT_ROOMS | default "true" | toBool -}} ... // Breakout Rooms // config.hideAddRoomButton = {{ $ENABLE_BREAKOUT_ROOMS | not }}; ...

I'm lacking the knowlegde about this syntaxis on how to correct this (otherwise I would have made a PR for it).

@JacBra Thanks for that, it's confusing that there are multiple settings that overwrite each other

That's weird, the syntax does look correct. I'll take a look.
