Breakout and parent room countdown timer out of sync #11358

Closed ritzalam closed 3 years ago

ritzalam commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug During breakouts, the parent and breakout rooms have their own countdown timer. After a while these timers drift causing a room to end earlier than the others. When this happens, users get kicked out of the room prematurely.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a few breakout rooms with duration of more than 20 minutes
  2. Observe their countdown timer and see if the timers gets out of sync
  3. A room that is ahead of other rooms will end earlier than other rooms

Expected behavior Timers should be synched as closely as possible so they end at the same time..

Reopening this issue as there is a server side work needed.

The parent and breakout rooms each has its own countdown timer. There should only be a single source of truth how much time remaining in the breakout session. The parent should be this source and tell the breakout rooms the time remaining.
