Sharing files in a chat
6+
-----------------------
7+
8+
You can share files in a chat in 3 ways.
9+
10+
First, you can simply drag'n'drop them on the chat.
11+
12+
.. image:: images/drag-and-drop.png
13+
:width: 600px
14+
15+
Second, you can select a file from your Nextcloud Files or a file manager by choosing the little paperclip and selecting where you'd like to pick the file from.
16+

.. image:: images/share-files-in-chat-selection.png
21+
:width: 600px
22+
23+
You can add more files until you are done and decide to share the files. You can also add a text caption to your shared files, providing a brief description or context.
24+
25+
.. image:: images/talk-upload-files.png
26+
:width: 500px
27+
28+
All users will be able to click the files to view, edit or download them, irrespective of them having a user account. Users with an account will have the file automatically shared with them while external guest users will get them shared as a public link.

Commands
8+
--------
9+
10+
Nextcloud allows users to execute actions using commands. A command typically looks like:
11+
12+
``/wiki airplanes``
13+
14+
Administrators can configure, enable and disable commands. Users can use the ``help`` command to find out what commands are available.
15+
16+
``/help``

Breakout rooms
2+
==============
3+
4+
Breakout rooms allow you to divide a Nextcloud Talk call into smaller groups for more focused discussions. The moderator
5+
of the call can create multiple breakout rooms and assign participants to each room.
6+
7+
.. note:: Breakout rooms are currently not available in conversations that are joinable by guests (public conversations).
8+
9+
Configure breakout rooms
10+
------------------------
11+
12+
To create breakout rooms, you need to be a moderator in a group conversation. Click on the top-bar menu and click on
13+
"Setup breakout rooms".
14+
15+
.. image:: images/talk-breakout-rooms-setup.png
16+
:width: 400px
17+
18+
A dialog will open where you can specify the number of rooms you want to create and the participants assignment method.
19+
Here you'll be presented with 3 options:
20+
21+
- **Automatically assign participants**: Talk will automatically assign participants to the rooms.
22+
- **Manually assign participants**: You'll go through a participants editor where you can assign participants to rooms.
23+
- **Allow participants choose**: Participants will be able to join breakout rooms themselves.
24+
25+

27+
28+
Manage breakout rooms
29+
---------------------
30+
31+
Once the breakout rooms are created, you will be able to see them in the sidebar.
32+
33+
.. image:: images/talk-breakout-rooms-sidebar.png
34+
:width: 500px
35+
36+
From the sidebar header
37+
38+
- **Start and stop the breakout rooms**: this will move all the users in the parent conversation to their respective breakout rooms.
39+
- **Broadcast a message to all the rooms**: this will send a message to all the rooms at the same time.
40+
- **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.
41+
42+
.. image:: images/talk-breakout-rooms-sidebar-header.png
43+
:width: 400px
44+
45+
From the breakout room element in the sidebar, you can also join a particular breakout room or send a message to a
46+
specific room.

Starting a call
6+
---------------
7+
8+
When you're in a conversation, you can start a call any time with the ``Start call`` button. Other participants will get notified and can join the call.

10+
.. image:: images/device-settings-before-call.png
11+

If somebody else has started a call already, the button will change in a green ``Join call`` button.
14+
15+
.. image:: images/join-call.png
16+
:width: 600px
17+
18+
During a call, you can mute your microphone and disable your video with the buttons on the right side of the top bar, or using the shortcuts ``M`` to mute audio and ``V`` to disable video. You can also use the space bar to toggle mute. When you are muted, pressing space will unmute you so you can speak until you let go of the space bar. If you are unmuted, pressing space will mute you until you let go.
19+
20+
You can hide your video (useful during a screen share) with the little arrow just above the video stream. Bring it back with the little arrow again.
21+
22+
You can access your settings and choose a different webcam, microphone and other settings in the ``...`` menu in the top bar.
23+
24+

-----------------------
39+
40+
You can click the monitor icon on your video stream to share your screen. Depending on your browser, you will get the option to share a monitor, an application window or a single browser tab.
41+
If video from your camera is also available, other participants will see it in a small presenter view next to the screen share.

Changing view in a call
47+
-----------------------
48+
49+
You can switch the view in a call with the little four-block icon in the top-right between promoted-view and grid view. The grid view will show everyone equally big and if the people do not fit on the screen, buttons will appear on the left and right that let you navigate.
50+

Call recording
2+
==============
3+
4+
The recording feature provides users with an opportunity to:
5+
6+
- Start and stop recordings during a call.
7+
- Record the video and audio stream of the speaker, as well as screen share.
8+
- Access, share and download recorded files for future reference or distribution.
9+
10+
Enabling this feature requires the recording server to be set up by the system administration.
11+
12+
Manage a recording
13+
------------------
14+
15+
The moderator of the conversation can start a recording together with a call start or anytime during a call:
16+
17+
- **Before the call**: tick the checkbox "Start recording immediately with the call" in "Media settings", then click on "Start call".
18+
- **During the call**: click on the top-bar menu, then click "Start recording".
19+
20+

23+
|
24+
25+
.. image:: images/start-recording-in-call.png
26+
:width: 300px
27+
28+
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.
29+
30+
.. image:: images/stop-recording.png
31+
:width: 500px
32+
33+
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
44+
-----------------
45+
46+
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:
47+
48+
- Disable consent completely.
49+
- Enable mandatory consent system-wide, requiring consent for all conversations.
50+
- Allow moderators to configure this option on a conversation level. In such cases, moderators can access the conversation settings to configure this option accordingly:
51+
52+

53+
:width: 500px
54+
55+
.. FIXME make screenshots below from user perspective not moderator
56+
57+
If recording consent is enabled, every participant, including moderators, will see a highlighted section in the "Media settings" before joining a call.
58+
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.
