@Falco Is it possible to expose a public check in the site settings/serializer for whether LiveKit is configured, alongside voice_enabled? Today voice_enabled is client-exposed, but there’s no public signal for whether a site can serve LiveKit. The only LiveKit-related site attribute, voice_livekit…

[image] nicolsdennis: RoomSerializer#expected_transport covers the per-room case nicely, but that requires fetching rooms first Actually you were right on the spot there. The official API is exactly doing a call to and parsing it like this curl https://meta.discourse.org/voice/rooms.json -s …

voice_enabled isn’t reachable from the JSON API at all: /site.json carries no site_settings key. So the only public signal that voice is running on a site is the presence of voice_assets_path. What I’m asking for is two public, credential-free booleans so a client can decide whether to surface voic…

Please don’t mention team members in-bulk like that (I edited the mentions out). It may help if you describe what your end goal is for this extra information. It’s hard to answer a feature-request without any justification for what you’ll be using the information for.

Apologies I asked a question on an announcement and I was split to support, which left me unaware of who to speak to since this is a feature request than troubleshooting, after reviewing for past 5hrs I tagged the members from the core commit/merge of voice. However to add some context. I have an a…

[image] nicolsdennis: The app joins over LiveKit and can’t do mesh, so on a mesh site I want to leave voice out of the navigation entirely rather than show rooms that will fail to connect and make it look like the app is broken. Thanks for the explanation! The request makes sense. The voice …

[image] Falco: If you think 5h is too much to wait, you may be new to the concept of async comms in forums. Welcome! nicolsdennis: I think you misunderstood, I was up from 1am to 5am reviewing what was done and the merges that’s how i found the team members i originally tagged. Not that i’m …

I was looking at plugin.rb line 144, where it’s added to the site serializer, backed by Guardian#voice_public_access? in lib/voice/guardian_extension.rb line 16. I read it as a setting when it isn’t one, so that’s my error. And thanks for the rooms.json pointer, the authenticated call with expected…

@Falco I’ll test further on my local instance. A separate question Is voice_allowed_groups exposed to clients anywhere, and is expected_transport the intended way to tell LiveKit from mesh per room in a list? I’d want to hide mesh rooms and show only LiveKit ones where available, I don’t see how to…

[image] nicolsdennis: A separate question Is voice_allowed_groups exposed to clients anywhere No. Exposing that would be borderline information disclosure. Only the current user needs to know about his own permissions. [image] nicolsdennis: is expected_transport the intended way to tell …

Okay, thanks much for the assitance.
