Add support for basic focus selection algorithm #37

Closed SimonBrandner closed 1 year ago

SimonBrandner commented 1 year ago

As a temporary way of discovering SFUs, we intend to add a field to m.call state events called something like im.vector.focus which contains the matrix ID of an SFU to use for this call. A client can, in turn, get this from the .well-known of the homeserver or possibly something like /turnServer (this part we'll probably want in the long term design so this part probably wants to go in an MSC).

Wait, shouldn't the event just be m.foci from the MSC?

Because we won't support an array of foci but I guess we could just for now mandate an array of length 1

dbkr commented 1 year ago

Oh, I see - yeah, I think that's fine, and makes compatibility much easier

SimonBrandner commented 1 year ago

We have this now
