[3.0] Need to clarify recording visibility states #5816

Open hiroshisuga opened 2 months ago

hiroshisuga commented 2 months ago

Somewhere in the document, we need to clarify what the visibility states of recording stand for.

In my understanding, Public/Protected: Title visible without sign-in, but the user cannot watch the recording itself Public: Without signing in, the user can see the title and watch the video Protected: Title visible only when the user signs in, but the recording is not watchable for him Published: The user can see the title and watch the video, but only he signs in. Unpublished: Nobody (the recording owner neither) can see the title nor the recording itself.

Are they correct?

In my local environment, "Public/Protected" and "Public" have no difference. Even without signing in, the user can see the list and watch the recording on "Public/Protected".

Also the words "protected" and "unpublished" are not so distinctive for users, maybe "unlisted" and "private" like in Youtube?

To be less confusing, what about a setting like:

Recording list visible in the room: [everybody] [only sign-in users] [only the owner] Recording watchable: [everybody] [only sign-in users] [only the owner]

A recording that is visible in the list only for the owner but watchable for everybody means the"unlisted" in Youtube, so everybody can watch it if he knows the URL.

I was looking for documentation, because I don't understand the difference. My testing:

Maybe is the server configuration, I don't know. It would be great one possibility with password, as for the conference.

Thanks thanks a lot!
