First of all I want to talk >>> about "give exclusive audio" (give the floor) functionality. This >>> functionality is very popular among our russian consumers, and it very good >>> to include it to the trunk version. Because many of people have cheap >>> microphones and they listen to some noise during their conference if more >>> than one people talk simultaneously. Another reason is providing a new >>> interesting feature that gives a user more opportunities in his conference. >>> >>> Yes, it is a special feature therefore it is some controversial, and you >>> are not fully agree about it. >>> So, we offer to make a new type of conference room which is called >>> something like "Microphone permission room" or just "Microphone room". >>> Every user at this room type could use this functionality. But other room >>> types would not provide it. >>> >>> And our implementation of this functionality have changed from the last >>> time we communicated about it. >>> There are next changes: >>> 1) "Give the floor" button is not placed on the left user list, but it >>> is placed on the video window. If a user move his mouse into some video >>> window this button appears in the center of it. And it disappears after >>> moving the mouse out of the video window. It was made because it provides a >>> fast way to give the floor to somebody. Old implementation let a user make >>> several clicks to give the floor, but not only one. >>> 2) This button is a big button, because it is more handy for using it. >>> 3) Every user could give the floor himself, but he can't give it another >>> user. Is was made for avoiding some chaos at the conference. >>> 4) A moderator of the conference could give the floor every user. >>> 5) A hot-key was added. If you press F12 you will give the floor >>> yourself. >>> >>> I can send you the patch with it and you will check these thing. Maybe >>> you will have any comments. >>> >>> Thank you.
