Description
Description:
Previously before 3.9 when a channel had a BBB meeting active, it would show a video icon next to the channel so you would know their is a meeting on.
Now it does not show at all. If you do go into the channel, top right you can see a meeting is on but you would have to be in that room to notice.
I have updated to 3.10 as well to test and similar behavior.
Unable to rollback as 3.9 was a security hotfix and prefer not to revert back if possible.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create BBB meeting in RC.
- Check with user and another user if video icon shows in the channel.
Expected behavior:
a BBB/video icon would appear next to the channel.
Actual behavior:
Nothing appears now.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue from a channel with an active BigBlueButton meeting, comparing the channel list with the meeting indicator in the channel's top-right area. Trace the frontend entry point that renders channel status icons and verify the expected BBB/video icon appears beside the active channel without opening it.
