#Jitsi meet rooms password#

My use case is a permanent, personal meeting room (like you have in … ahem … the other videoconferencing software) which I link to in my email signature and which is protected by a permanent password (ideally never shared with anyone). The problem with setting the password before enabling the lobby is that any guests arriving when the password has already been set but the lobby has not yet been enabled see the password dialog when the lobby is enabled, the password dialog does not go away, so they do not learn that instead of the password (which they likely are not supposed to know) they could ask the moderator to admit them. You are right,, having a password does help, and I am using the persistent password workaround discussed here for that.

The issue has been discussed and confirmed here. 116, Firefox 79.0 (but probably any other browser as well)

Jitsi Meet version: -1 (Debian package).

User A is presented with the option to wait until someone in the room lets them in (which obviously cannot happen) or to enter the room password (which, by assumption, has not been set). because the guest user might then be granted the right to dial out with jigasi)

When the last moderator leaves a room, one of the guest users is promoted to moderator for that room (which might be undesirable as well, e.g.The authentication should bypass the lobby (this might not be desirable for privacy reasons, as an authenticated user might then be able to intrude into another moderator's room).When the last moderator leaves a room, the lobby is automatically disabled for that room.The still (as per the browser cache) authenticated User A should be able to enter the room, in one of the following three ways (in descending order of my subjective preference): As User A drop out of the room, leaving guest User B alone in the room.Have another non-moderator user (User B) join the room.In a secure domain setup (with LDAP authentication and anonymous guest access), when the only moderator of a room enables the Lobby, but does not set a password, and subsequently leaves that room, there is no way for him/her to re-enter the room as long as there is still at least one non-moderator (guest) user in the room.
