Describe the bug When a session has a set duration, a banner appears on the top showing the remaining time. However, that countdown banner appear super early, 30 mins before. For a session with 30 mins duration, the banner is visible the entire time, which is undesired.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Use API mate to create a session with
duration=30 - Join that session
Expected behavior No banner at first, the banner shows X minutes before the end (X configurable in config file)
Actual behavior Hardcoded 30 minutes before the session ends the timer is anchored at the top. https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/blame/v3.0.x-release/bbb-graphql-server/bbb_schema.sql#L2500
