If I understand correctly, this doesn't work as expected in 48 and later.  Can someone confirm?

I can't seem to figure out how to sign up for an account in a way that lets me host meetings. I went through the signup flow at https://thinclient13.webex.com/mw3100/mywebex/register.do, but I saw some message about requiring admin approval before my account could be created.

Does anyone have a more isolated test/sample page (e.g. jsfiddle) we can use to reproduce and debug this issue?

Hi Tommi,

That's correct , it works on chrome bersion 47 and below but not on 48 and above. We got to test the older version from here - https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html?prefix=Win/352221/

Hi Ted,

We got your account request. We are in the process of updating our Conference servers. Once that is done, we will get you an account on the site for you to test it. Thanks for holding on and apologies for delay

tnakamura: please share your account with srnarayanan when you've received it, so this can be tested.

guidou: is this a test that we can add?

By accident, I found a number of tests that do muting in content_browsertests:

content/browser/media/webrtc/webrtc_browsertests.cc

EstablishAudioVideoCallAndVerifyRemoteMutingWorks
EnsureLocalVideoMuteDoesntMuteAudio

and so on. These pass in bots.
Check that we agree on what "remote mute" means.

tnakamura, I have a test account you can use.

tnakamura: We have added your account on the site. You should receive the mail regarding this.

1. If you can access and login, you should be able to join as host to the site (click on Log In button on far right and enter credentials). 

2. Once you do that, go to Meeting Center tab and join your personal room from Mac or Windows. This will launch the Webex PC client Enable audio and video.

3. Now from another machine go to https://thinclient13.webex.com

4. Enter your user name for account and click Join

5. Join WebEx meeting through Chrome browser (it should say Beta).

6. Join Audio.

7. Click the icon (3 dots icon in menu bar) to mute the local speaker. from Webex PC client.

Expected result - You should not hear remote audio
Actual result - You can still hear remote audio

It works on chrome version 47 and below but not on 48 and above

Thank you for providing more feedback. Assigning to requester "kjellander@chromium.org" for another review.

Hi,

Has there been any update on this? 

Oh, it's unfortunate this was assigned to me (that's not how our WebRTC triage process works) since I've been busy (and missed following up on this).

Ted: can you take a look? 

I think we need a clearer repro case. I did a simple test page by modifying https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/peerconnection/audio/. I extract the audiotrack from the remote stream, set enabled to false, and it mutes correctly in Chrome 51. Attaching sample code (you need  --disable-web-security --allow-file-access-from-files to run locally)

Here's another example of remote working, this time with https://appr.tc:

1) Join a two party AppRTC call
2) Open the js console
3) Enter this command to mute remote (aka incoming) audio:
document.querySelector('#remote-video').srcObject.getAudioTracks()[0].enabled = false;

4) and to unmute:
document.querySelector('#remote-video').srcObject.getAudioTracks()[0].enabled = true;

Those steps work for me - the remote audio is muted (and unmuted) as expected.

(separately, kjellander@ asked for webex credentials. I've shared those internally; please search for "webex" in valentine)

It's been nearly a month since niklase@ posted his follow up, and there hasn't been any replies from the original bug reporter. Because of that, and the fact that this doesn't repro with apprtc (comment #13), I'm going to close this issue.

I'm willing to reopen it, though, if a smaller/isolated test page is presented that demonstrates the bug. :)
