Advanced Talk features
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
Nextcloud Talk has a number of advanced features users might find useful.
|
|
|
|
Matterbridge
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Matterbridge integration in Nextcloud Talk makes it possible to create 'bridges' between Talk conversations and conversations on other chat services like MS Teams, Discord, Matrix and others. You can find a list of supported protocols `on the Matterbridge github page. <https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge#features>`_
|
|
|
|
A moderator can add a Matterbridge connection in the chat conversation settings.
|

|
|
|
|
Each of the bridges has its own need in terms of configuration. Information for most is available on the Matterbridge wiki and can be accessed behind ``more information`` menu in the ``...`` menu. You can also `access the wiki directly. <https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/wiki>`_
|
|
|
|
Lobby
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
The lobby feature allows you to show guests a waiting screen until the call starts. This is ideal for webinars with external participants, for example.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
You can choose to let the participants join the call at a specific time, or when you dismiss the lobby manually.
|
|
|
|
Commands
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Nextcloud allows users to execute actions using commands. A command typically looks like:
|
|
|
|
``/wiki airplanes``
|
|
|
|
Administrators can configure, enable and disable commands. Users can use the ``help`` command to find out what commands are available.
|
|
|
|
``/help``
|
|

|
|
Find more information in the `administrative documentation for Talk. <https://nextcloud-talk.readthedocs.io/en/stable/commands/>`_

|
Talk from Files
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
In the Files app, you can chat about files in the sidebar, and even have a call while editing it. You first have to join the chat.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
You can then chat or have a call with other participants, even when you start editing the file.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
In Talk, a conversation will be created for the file. You can chat from there, or go back to the file using the ``...`` menu in the top-right.

|
Create tasks from chat or share tasks in chat
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If Deck is installed, you can use the ``...`` menu of a chat message and turn the message into a Deck task.

Breakout rooms
|
|
--------------
|
|
Breakout rooms allow you to divide a Nextcloud Talk call into smaller groups for more focused discussions. The moderator
|
|
of the call can create multiple breakout rooms and assign participants to each room.
|
|
|
|
Configure breakout rooms
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
To create breakout rooms, you need to be a moderator in a group conversation. Click on the top-bar menu and click on
|
|
"Setup breakout rooms".
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/talk-breakout-rooms-setup.png
|
|
|
|
A dialog will open where you can specify the number of rooms you want to create and the participants assignment method.
|
|
Here you'll be presented with 3 options:
|
|
|
|
- **Automatically assign participants**: Talk will automatically assign participants to the rooms.
|
|
- **Manually assign participants**: You'll go through a participants editor where you can assign participants to rooms.
|
|
- **Allow participants choose**: Participants will be able to join breakout rooms themselves.
|
|

|
|
|
|
Manage breakout rooms
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Once the breakout rooms are created, you will be able to see them in the sidebar.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: images/talk-breakout-rooms-sidebar.png
|
|
|
|
From the sidebar header
|
|
|
|
- **Start and stop the breakout rooms**: this will move all the users in the parent conversation to their respective breakout rooms.
|
|
- **Broadcast a message to all the rooms**: this will send a message to all the rooms at the same time.
|
|
- **Make changes to the assigned participants**: this will open the participants editor where you can change which participants are assigned to which breakout room. From this dialog it's also possible to delete the breakout rooms.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
From the breakout room element in the sidebar, you can also join a particular breakout room or send a message to a
|
|
specific room.
