Allow automatic joining?

[sam.phillips]

Got a situation where a customer wants an 'always-on' meeting between their branches so they can just walk up to a screen and talk to people.

I figured the easiest way was to just have chrome autostart and launch in to a webmeeting 'click to meet' link so that they get taken directly in to a meeting. Then I thought I could just click the 'Join' button with javascript. However, I'm not clever enough to work out the selector for that button with how it all just gets loaded from an external place.

Is there any way we can get this working so a personal link could be launched and the client is just joined automatically? Assume we already have the presenter connected on a live meeting.

Modern browsers have a restriction where if a window is not clicked/interacted with by a user, media will not play. On our case, when automatically joining a meeting, video and audio streams will not playback at all.

Automatic logging in that will also cause media to play back can be achieved with some kind of automation script on the host which detects the existence of the Start Meeting/Join Meeting button and clicks it. Usually this interaction is enough to make audio/video start.
