Make Lobby feature easier discoverable

[schiessle]

I just tried out the lobby feature of Nextcloud Talk 7.0 and it works really nice! 🙂

But the menu was quite confusing for me:

"Enable for" but what? What is the affect for the user? Also if I click on "moderators only" the drop down closes immediately which means that almost noone will discover that they can add a start data.

What about having a check box instead:

[ ] Lobby

Maybe with a tooltip which describes it in a short sentences like "non-moderators have to wait in a Lobby until the call starts". If you check it the dialog should stay open and the input field for the start date should be shown so that the user actually sees that there are further config options for the meeting.

What do you think?

Indeed, we should improve a bit. I too don't really get why you need "moderators only" for the lobby to be activated (thats how it behaved last time I check during the conf)

Also something seems to be broken, the | above the divider was not there before.

The wording and choose of radio button vs checkbox goes back to @jancborchardt :

I personally would also prefer a check box, just like we have it with the share link

Should be something related with your browser.
I don't see that weird divider in c.nc.com either.

A 'enable lobby' checkbox seems to make more sense to me, too, esp as there are two options anyway. If there were three options, a radio button selection might be the better solution...
