How to enable always show meeting controls programmatically

Meeting SDK iOS
1

Description
Want to always display meeting control when the participant is already in the call?
Well, the participant can do that manually from the meeting settings screen but would like to do using the MobileRTCMeetingSettings class before the call starts or the user joins the call.

Which version?
5.2.x

Hey @rituraj_zoom,

Thanks for using the dev forum!

You can show the meetingControlBar temporarily this code:
Swift:
MobileRTC.shared().getMeetingService()?.showMeetingControlBar()
Objective-C:
[[[MobileRTC sharedRTC] getMeetingService] showMeetingControlBar];
However, there is no way to always show it, similar to the setting in meeting settings.

Thanks!
Michael

Hi Michael - Any chance this capability could be added to the mobile SDKs through an enhancement request?

It would be great if the capability optionally honored the account-level “Always show meeting control toolbar” configuration setting.

Hey @j-dev,

Thanks for the suggestion! I will inform the team that this is a desired feature.

@Michael_Condon I just wanted to give a “+1” to this feature request. It would be great to have the ability to always show the meeting controls, since this would provide a better user experience for our app when joining a meeting. Thanks!

Hey @EricB, @j-dev, and @rituraj_zoom,

Have you tried toggling the Always show meeting control toolbar setting from within your Zoom Web Portal?

We sure have. The mobile SDKs don’t seem to honor that setting.

Hey @j-dev,

Awesome, thank you for verifying.

Hello @Michael_Condon
Does the latest iOS SDK v5.7.1.643 have the fix for this issue?

Thanks

Hey @rituraj_zoom,

The fix for this will not be in that version unfortunately.

Thanks!

Any updates on this feature to have the ability to show meeting controls always in iOS SDK. There is no option as such in the admin dashboard as well, which the SDKs can honor. Importantly this feature is there in Android SDK from long time and missing in iOS, please check and see that it is taken care ASAP.
