What this PR does
Adds a new configuration flag
disableAutoResortParticipants(default:false) that allows deployments to disable the automatic resorting of the Meeting Participants list.When set to
true, the participants list remains in a stable order instead of dynamically reordering based on active/dominant speakers.Raised-hand and pinned participant behaviors remain unchanged.
Why
Automatic participant resorting (based on who is speaking) can make moderation tasks difficult - especially in workflows where moderators must quickly locate and move newly joined users into breakout rooms.
This flag provides administrators the flexibility to keep a stable participant list when needed.
Implementation
Added new config flag in
config.js:disableAutoResortParticipants: falseUpdated filmstrip ordering logic (
functions.any.ts) to skip dynamic speaker-based sorting when the flag is enabled.Updated Participants Pane (
functions.ts) to avoid promoting the dominant speaker when the flag is enabled.Added TypeScript field
disableAutoResortParticipants?: boolean;toconfigType.tsfor proper typing.
