It's known for moderators, but not for the participants itself, or could be found in some non-obvious places, although frontend is receiving and can use this data
Describe the solution you'd like
Conversation settings => Setup overview => List of permissions for given conversation
Describe alternatives you've considered
Context messages / tooltips where it's applicable
Example of usage (bitiwise + negation check):
videoButtonTooltip() {

}
},

Research direction
Start with the frontend conversation settings and Setup overview, then trace how conversation permissions are received and currently exposed to participants. Review the proposed permissions list and the alternative context messages or tooltips, including the shown video-permission example. Done means participants can find their conversation permissions and understand applicable restrictions.
