Migrating Vinteo Desktop settings via group policies

Материал из База знаний VINTEO

General description

Starting with version 3.15 each time the desktop client is launched the settings are loaded from the ClientSettings file for subsequent migration to the desktop client. The ClientSettings file needs to be added to a specific folder:

  • for Windows - %appData%/VinteoDesktop
  • for MacOS - /Users/y/Library/Application Support/VinteoDesktop
  • for Linux - /home/.config/VinteoDesktop

The settings transferred in the ClientSettings file are stored in json format and are validated by the json schema at the stage of reading the file. С полным списком настроек, доступных для миграции, можно ознакомиться по ссылке. A full list of settings available for migration can be found at the link.

The ClientSettings file has two groups of settings:

  • profile - corporate profile settings
  • settings - application settings

Migrated settings parameters

Each setting in a group is a simple object with two properties:

Свойство Описание
value It contains the setting value that will be migrated to the application. Can be of type "string", "number" or "boolean" depending on the specific setting.
overwriteUserSettings Optional forced migration flag. When setting the true value from the file will forcefully overwrite the user's setting in the client. If false or the flag is missing the setting will be overwritten only if the user has not changed its value since the client was first launched.

Client settings (settings)

The settings group contains the following settings:

Setting Value type Description
displayName string User display name
remoteMicControl boolean Allow moderator to turn microphone on and off
remoteCameraControl boolean Allow moderator to turn camera on and off
moveContentVideoToFullscreen boolean Run incoming presentation in full screen mode
autoOpenChat boolean Automatically open chat when starting a call or broadcast
autoOpenParticipants boolean Automatically open the participant list when starting a call or broadcast
autoAnswer boolean Auto answer for incoming call
autoMute boolean Mute microphone when auto answer
autoFullscreen boolean Full screen mode on auto reply
hardwareNotification boolean Hardware alert
autorun boolean Auto start
minimizeOnClose boolean Minimizing the application on close
disableConfirms boolean Disable all confirmation dialogs
disableNotifications boolean Turn off all notifications
disableErrors boolean Turn off all error notifications
Important: when attempting to enable autoOpenChat and autoOpenParticipants the autoOpenParticipants flag takes precedence. That is autoOpenParticipants will be enabled and autoOpenChat will remain disabled. The order and simultaneity of the flags transmission does not matter.

Corporate profile

The corporate profile is the profile that is created and updated by the migration scripts. The difference between a corporate profile and others is its unique uuid which is equal to "uuid-corporate-profile-0fa76dd5-9c48-48de-be1b-75b8df1b2208". This profile is created if it is not yet in the list of connection profiles it is updated during migration.

Corporate profile settings (profile)

The profile settings group contains the following settings available for corporate profile migration:

Setting Value type Description
name string User login. Optional parameter
serverUrl string Connection server address. May contain URL or IP of the server.
profileName string Corporate Profile Name will be specified as the name for the corporate connection profile. Optional parameter
