Did you also configure the room metadata Prosody plugin? It's automatically configured for new installations but I don't think it is for old ones.

No, I actually did not do that.
Is that the file /etc/prosody/conf.d/meet.example.com.cfg.lua ?
Then I try this for a moment
Yes, that's where you'd configure it.

That was it! Many thanks for your help, it works now! I will close this issue.
Description:
My Jitsi instance was installed around August 2022. It runs on a Debian 11, is updated regularly (with apt update). Everything actually works as desired.
However, our customer now wanted the whiteboard feature to be activated as well. After that I found out that this feature needs an additional installation. I was able to do that with Docker. https://github.com/jitsi/excalidraw-backend
My problem is that the config js (meet.example.com-config.js) does not have the whiteboard options, they are not even commented out with a //. I had to add them manually (both the option to enable the feature, and the option to allow the feature to be displayed in the toolbar). Even after manually adding these options, the whiteboard button does not appear in the toolbar.
In this Youtube video, however, you can see that it has the whiteboard feature in the config (it is commented out, check on 25:42).
I have the feeling that Jitsi does not regenerate the js config during his updates. Thus there are problems and many new features that come with updates are not displayed or do not work on instances that are updated.
What could be the reason that the whiteboard button does not appear, despite adding it manually?
