Steps to reproduce

1. Create a conversation, enable the lobby.
2. In call permissions, disable "Can start call" for participants/guests, enable "Skip lobby" and all other default permissions.
3. Start the call as moderator.
4. Join as a guest (unregistered user).

Expected behaviour

The guest should still see a "Leave call" button so they can exit the call.

Actual behaviour

The guest is connected to the call (audio/video), but no "Leave call" button is shown. There is no way to leave the call through the UI.

I cannot reproduce it locally; also from the static code check, there is nothing that would hide a button for a guest.

• Could you share a screenshot?
• Is it a voice room by chance? There's a 'Leave call' button hidden from guest, as they have nowhere to quit to without an account
• On a guest machine - are there failing requests? Can you share the result of this function from devtools?
  {...OCA.Talk.instance.$store.getters.conversation(window.location.pathname.split('/').pop())}

Thank you for the quick reply. Sorry, my bad, I missed that detail.

Yes, it is a Voice Room.

So that is intended behaviour? Any chance of adding the 'Leave call' button to exit the call for guests?

[Antreesy]

Yes, it is intended, I would say voice room is not intended neither to host guests nor for lobby - messages are expiring within an hour, and joining is only allowed as a call participant. Use cases are open to interpretation, of course, if you find it suited =)

Any chance of adding the 'Leave call' button to exit the call for guests?

We can do window.close() instead for guests, so the browser tab will just be closed. Alternative to leave right now is to manually close the tab, so I don't think it's a bad idea either

No, that's too intrusive!
Maybe we can instead show a "call has ended" page like "room not found"?

Although it's not ended, it's just that you left (as guest). Then we'd need some UI to join back

Leap ahead would be to maybe even remember all the conversations guest has ever visited on the instance and basically introduce LeftSidebar for guests (without interval fetch)

Thank you for taking this on!

Personally, I would support the idea of a "You have left the call" page. It might be great to have the option to rejoin.

Future enhancement: Some meeting platforms allow admins to specify a redirect URL after a call ends. However, this would be more appropriate as feature request.
