[iOS] [Safari] Cannot reduce audio of other call participants

[gentleAmateur]

Describe the bug

On iOS 17’s Safari, when I enter a room and attempt to modify volume levels for other participants there is no change. The sliders will move and I can click the microphone button to mute them, but it does not work. I also believe the video button doesn’t work, as both it and the microphone will grey out and nothing happens.

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'https://p2p.mirotalk.com/’
2. Click on 'JOIN ROOM’
3. Join that room via another device.
4. Play audio/video via participant A and attempt to mute for participant B.

Expected behavior

The mic/camera button(s) will grey out/the sliders will move and no change happens. Audio stays a consistent level and the video continues playing. Expected behavior is the audio lowers/is muted and the video stops respectively.

Mobile

• iPhone SE 2nd Gen, iOS 17
• Safari

Additional context

They were on the same network, but testing on different networks (via data) gave the same results. Different names (‘PC’ and a proper name), and was using the vWebcam (OBS) + a vMic (PulseAudio) created on Linux. Using Linux w/ Chromium appeared to work as intended.

Hello @gentleAmateur,

On iOS 17’s Safari, when I enter a room and attempt to modify volume levels for other participants there is no change. The sliders will move and I can click the microphone button to mute them, but it does not work.

We've temporarily disabled the volume slider for mobile devices, while keeping it active for desktop users.

I also believe the video button doesn’t work, as both it and the microphone will grey out and nothing happens.

Please note that only the presenter of the room has the ability to mute or hide participants. If you're not the presenter, you won't have these privileges. A popup message will now inform users about this restriction.

Alright, thank you for telling me. Not ideal for my use-case, but I can work around it. Thank you and I hope it can be re-enabled soon.

My confusion arose from the fact that I did not appear to receive (or more likely, did not notice) the info bubbles as I tried to use those toggles. Testing just now I do receive them. So any problem I was having is not currently replicable.

With this I do believe this issue is closed, thank you for your time! This is a truly wonderful project and I am very excited to use it more as time goes on.
