Integrating links and external apps in Talk meeting

I would really love to use talk functionality, andn I would really appreciate if these features could get built into the talk app

For a small group I am hosting a remote conference in which multiple different users will be using talk. Unformtulately the funcionality is limited by a few features that I hope will be easy to resolve. I will discuss them bij topic

1 sometines the functionality asks for a “turn server”. Can this feature become standard so none of the participants will have trouble signing in.

2 With screensharing in on a mac computer the feature makes an echo, rendering the image repeating itself limitlessly, and distorting the image

3 I would love to be able to share a link in de meeting to for example a webpage. Since manytimes we need to switch back and forth to that webpage in meetings

4 I would love to be able to use an external app (in this instance PDF Expert. Since that currently is the only PDF app capable of formatting paper in for example math raster, and participants in the meeting would love to draw and write on their ipads screenshare and as such communicate in writing too during the meetings.

Would it be able t build these functionalities into nextcloud talk?

Thanks for your help

Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response

  • Use the preformatted text formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output.
  • If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
    • If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
  • Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.

  1. A properly installed nextcloud talk needs you to install a turn server and a signaling backend.
  2. are you using safari? This is known to cause problems
  3. you can add a link to the chat and participants can use that link. Or you can screenshare the page.
  4. for drawing on the screen you can install the whiteboard app. Or you have to screen share the pdf app.
