Description
Description:
"Start Meeting" button leads to 401 ( Authentication failed due to missing credentials. ) error in Chrome.
In Firefox works fine.
Steps to reproduce:
- Configure BBB integration by specifying token and domain.
- Start a call by pressing "Start Metting" button in Chrome.
Expected behavior:
Actual behavior:
Server Setup Information:
RC 3.6.0
Debian 10
Docker deploy:
rocketchat/rocket.chat:3.6.0
mongo:4.0
I found it might be related to iframe restrictions in Chrome: https://groups.google.com/g/bigbluebutton-dev/c/CCCObMNin0s/m/1k2IDzYNAgAJ
If there is no option to get it work in iframe, can we have an option to open calls in new tab? For Jitsi integration we already have one.

Research direction
Start from the BigBlueButton integration's "Start Meeting" entry point and reproduce the configured token-and-domain flow in Chrome, then compare it with Firefox. Check the existing Jitsi integration's new-tab behavior as the reference for the requested fallback; done means the BBB call no longer returns 401 in Chrome or has an equivalent new-tab option.
