Fonctionnalités avancées de Discussion
Nextcloud Discussion propose des fonctionnalités que les utilisateurs pourraient trouver utiles.
Matterbridge
L’intégration de Matterbridge dans Nextcloud Discussion permet de créer des “passerelles” entre les conversations Discussion et les conversations sur d’autres services de chat tels que MS Teams, Discord, Matrix ou autres. Vous trouverez la liste des protocoles supportés sur la page github de Matterbridge.
Un modérateur peut ajouter une connexion Matterbridge dans les paramètres d’une discussion.
Chaque passerelle a ses propres besoins en terme de configuration. La plupart des informations sont disponibles en anglais dans le wiki Matterbridge et sont accessible par le sous-menu more information
du menu ...
. Vous pouvez aussi accéder directement au wiki.
Salle d’attente
La salle d’attente vous permet d’afficher un message d’accueil aux participants avant que l’appel ne démarre. Cette fonctionnalité est par exemple utile pour les webinaires avec des participants externes.
Vous pouvez choisir de laisser les participants rejoindre l’appel à un heure donnée ou quand vous fermez manuellement la salle d’attente.
Commandes
Nextcloud permet aux utilisateurs de réaliser des actions via des commandes. Une commande peut ressembler à :

Les administrateurs peuvent configurer, activer et désactiver les commandes. les utilisateurs peuvent trouver les commandes disponibles avec la commande help

Discussion depuis Fichiers
Dans l’application Fichiers, vous pouvez discuter au sujet d’un fichier depuis la barre latérale, et même faire un appel tout en l’éditant. Pour cela, vous devez, en premier lieu, rejoindre le chat.
Vous pouvez alors discuter ou avoir un appel avec les autres participants, même en éditant le fichier.
Une conversation sera créée sur le fichier dans Discussion. Vous pouvez donc discuter depuis l’application ou revenir au fichier via le menu ...
en haut à droite de la page.
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 ».
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.
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.
Call recording
The recording feature provides users with an opportunity to:
Start and stop recordings during a call.
Record the video and audio stream of the speaker, as well as screen share.
Access, share and download recorded files for future reference or distribution.
Enabling this feature requires the recording server to be set up by the system administration.
Manage a recording
The moderator of the conversation can start a recording together with a call start or anytime during a call:
Before the call: tick the checkbox « Start recording immediately with the call » in « Media settings », then click on « Start call ».
During the call: click on the top-bar menu, then click « Start recording ».
The recording will start shortly, and you will see a red indicator next to the call time. You can stop the recording at any time while the call is still ongoing by clicking on that indicator and selecting « Stop recording », or by using the same action in the top-bar menu. If you do not manually stop the recording, it will end automatically when the call ends.
After stopping a recording, the server will take some time to prepare and save the recorded file. The moderator, who started the recording, receives a notification when the file is uploaded. From there, it can be shared in the chat.
Recording consent
For compliance reasons with various privacy rights, it is possible to ask participants for consent to be recorded before joining the call. The system administration has the flexibility to utilize this feature in several ways:
Disable consent completely.
Enable mandatory consent system-wide, requiring consent for all conversations.
Allow moderators to configure this option on a conversation level. In such cases, moderators can access the conversation settings to configure this option accordingly:
If recording consent is enabled, every participant, including moderators, will see a highlighted section in the « Media settings » before joining a call. This section informs participants that the call may be recorded. To give explicit consent for recording, participants must check the box. If they do not give consent, they will not be allowed to join the call.
Federated conversation
With Federation feature, users can create conversations across different federated Talk instances and use Talk features as if they were on a same server.
Important Under current development. Basic chat features are available, more to come in the future!
Feature is required to be set up by the system administration.
Send and accept invites
The moderator of the conversation can send an invite to participant on a different server:
When receiving a notification, user will see a counter of pending invites above the conversations list.
Upon clicking it, more information will be provided about inviting party, and user can either accept or decline the invitation.
By accepting the invite, conversation will appear in the list as any other one.
