feat: only record media while meeting is being actively recorded

[prlanzarin]

What does this PR do?

• feat: only record media while meeting is being actively recorded
  • Only record media (microphone, webcams and screens) while meeting is being actively recorded (ie an user has enabled recording in the conference). If the conference's recording is paused, media capture will stop as well (with appropriate recording events). This is the new default
  • This can be controlled via the recordFullDurationMedia bigbluebutton.properties setting/API create parameter - see More
• build(bbb-webrtc-sfu): v2.9.13`
  • Bundled in commit 4d1aa87

Closes Issue(s)

Partially #9202
The are still a bunch of other features that are recorded (eg chat, whiteboard, ...). This just tackles the real time media part.

More

A bigbluebutton.properties/API#create parameter called recordFullDurationMedia is added to control this behavior. The default is false (only capture while recording is active). Setting it to true enables the legacy behavior: always capture media if the meeting's recorded prop is true.

Merging, ping/revert if anything major breaks.

Would it be the option to set this in per-room basis?
In my personal opinion, (despite the privacy issue) it's a nice and unique feature of BBB that the admins can recover the recording even when they forgot to press the recording button (Zoom cannot do it). This feature has indeed saved my life for uncountable times.
Depending on teachers or classes, users may or may not want BBB to record everything in the server side. If the recordFullDurationMedia parameter can be set on each room, most of the demands will be fulfilled.

Would it be the option to set this in per-room basis?

@hiroshisuga Yes, this can be controlled server-wide and per-room. See:

A bigbluebutton.properties/API#create parameter called recordFullDurationMedia is added to control this behavior. The default is false (only capture while recording is active). Setting it to true enables the legacy behavior: always capture media if the meeting's recorded prop is true.

Setting recordFullDurationMedia=true in bigbluebutton.properties restores the old behavior server-wide. Using recordFullDurationMedia=true as an API create parameter, you can control this per-room.

Fantastic!
