Implements Picture-in-Picture functionality for the Electron wrapper to maintain video engagement when users are not actively focused on the conference window. This feature addresses the need to keep users visually connected to the conference even when multitasking.
Key features:
- Automatic PiP mode activation and deactivation based on user interaction
- Displays large video participant's stream or renders their avatar on canvas when video unavailable
- Provides audio/video mute controls via MediaSession API directly in PiP window
- Adds API events (_pip-requested) for Electron wrapper integration
Implementation includes new pip feature module with Redux architecture, canvas-based avatar rendering with custom backgrounds support, and integration with existing mute/unmute logic. Depends on jitsi-meet-electron-sdk#479 for proper user gesture handling in Electron.
* Change toolbar background color from IFrame API #16468 fixed
* fix(toolbar #16468): implement toolbar background color via configOverwrite for web and mobile
* keep toolbarConfig defaults commented in config.js
* add trailing comma to commented toolbarConfig.backgroundColor
* fix: resolve linting errors
* feat(api): add toolbarVisibilityChanged event to IFrame API
* fix lint
* fix(recording): allow samesite iframe embeds to work with local recording
Skip capture handle validation when inside an iframe to ensure local
recording works. This only applies if the iframe is served from the
same domain.
* fix(recording): add missing line breaks for better readability in LocalRecordingManager
* Change toolbar background color from IFrame API #16468 fixed
* fix(toolbar #16468): implement toolbar background color via configOverwrite for web and mobile
* keep toolbarConfig defaults commented in config.js
* add trailing comma to commented toolbarConfig.backgroundColor
* fix: resolve linting errors
Fixes#16468
* fix(tests): Avoids clicking UI buttons to avoid being blocked by notification.
In AV moderation tests sometimes clicking mute/unmute buttons is blocked by askedToUnmute notification.
* squash: fix waiting for button.
* squash: adds some docs.
Introduces a comprehensive disableChat config option that disables the entire chat feature including button visibility, notifications, sounds, private messages, and keyboard shortcuts. When disabled, the chat tab is hidden from the chat panel while allowing other tabs (polls, files, CC) to remain accessible.
Adds dedicated buttons for polls and file sharing in the toolbar overflow menu, following the pattern of the CC button. Both buttons open the chat panel with their respective tab selected when clicked.
When a user joins a very large call with SS, sometime SS is not auto-pinned to stage. This may happen when lot of participant joins are processed at the same time and therefore the state for remoteScreenShares may not get updated in time. Added extra logging to help debug if this issue reproduces.
- Fix missing Chinese translations in main-zh-CN.json and main-zh-TW.json
- Fix language selection not persisting for hyphenated locales (zh-CN, zh-TW, es-US, fr-CA, pt-BR)
- Update normalizeCurrentLanguage to check exact match before normalization
Moves the querySelector/querySelectorAll polyfill implementation from the local codebase to the @jitsi/js-utils package (v2.6.1) to reduce code duplication and make the polyfill available to other projects. This centralizes maintenance and ensures consistent behavior across the Jitsi ecosystem.
* fix(large-video)pin prev speaker on stage when local user is dominant speaker.
Also fix the case where the dominant speaker sometimes doesn't show up in the filmstrip when SS is pinned to stage.
* fix(test) Add more tests for activeSpeaker
* fix(test) Do not check for large-video if there is no remote video track.
* fix(filmstrip) Get updated display name for calc speaker order
Integrates file sharing into the chat interface so uploaded files appear as messages in the chat timeline alongside text
messages.
Changes:
- Created FileMessage component for inline file display in chat
- Extracted FileItem component for reusable file UI across chat and file sharing tab
- Show "A file was deleted" placeholder instead of removing message when file deleted
- Hide message menu (3-dot) when no actions are available for file messages
- Add button backgrounds in chat context to hide text on hover
- Fix timing: local participant only sees file message after upload completes (progress: 100%)
Technical implementation:
- Added fileMetadata field to IMessage interface
- Added isDeleted flag to IFileMetadata for soft-delete state
- Middleware dispatches addMessage when files uploaded (ADD_FILE action)
- Middleware uses editMessage when files deleted to preserve chat history
- Minimal state retention (only isDeleted flag) for deleted files
This provides a unified messaging experience where file sharing is part of the conversation flow.
Large video was being updated through scheduleLargeVideoUpdate even when
the large video container was hidden via CSS. This occurred in multiple
layout modes: tile view, stage filmstrip (with 2+ participants), and
etherpad editing. These updates caused expensive operations including
setting video streams, managing track listeners, updating avatars, and
running show/hide animations - all wasted CPU cycles since the container
wasn't visible.
The fix introduces a centralized shouldHideLargeVideo() function that checks
all cases where the large video container is hidden. This function is used in
selectParticipantInLargeVideo() to guard to not update the participant id.
A state listener monitors transitions from hidden to visible states and ensures
the large video participant id is properly updated when the container becomes
visible again and set to undefined when large video is hidden.
This improves performance by eliminating unnecessary video element manipulation
and handler execution across all layout modes where large video is not displayed.
