The chat screen (on the right hand side of the screen) will be present on topic load. Meaning it will be there whether a user is “going” or not. The user is granted access to the chat channel once they select “going”, which also updates the chat channel by removing a CTA blocking the input to message (for non “going” users).
Currently, yes.
Currently, the channel is neither deleted nor closed after the livestream has ended or the livestream topic was closed.
This plugin would also be useful for appointments, such as meetings. During meeting preparation, topics often include discussions about better time slots or announcements of delays, etc. This clutters the thread with short-lived information.
Offering a linked chat for these kinds of topics could allow for easier housekeeping (chatter would be automatically removed after some time).
For this kind of functionality, it would suffice to add a setting for a list of tags where an accompanying chat should be enabled.
In addition, the button captions for different tags could be made customizable.
It seems this plugin support Youtube live and running OK in our forum. But we need some other livestream source like bilibili, does the plugin support those livestream source?
@xish have you tried on mobile? I am guessing if bilibili has a player that works on discourse it will likely work. Easy test is to create a private category with a test group and test function
Hello and thanks for the plugin. I tried to install it and everything when ok. After I enabled the plugin I’ve made a new topic where I chose the livestream tag but the problem is when I try to find and press the Create Event I don’t see it at the dropdown menu. I tried to just add the code like you shared with dates etc but after posting code does nothing. I see the chat and everything but nowhere to press Going.
Yeap! You’re absolutely right and I’m blind. I’ve read that we need the chat enabled, discourse post event enabled & calendar enable but my bad I thought It was included in the install. Now I took the time to reed what’s installed in the self-hosted and what’s not.
