Guest Access Mode: Cover In-Conference Functionalities
Summary
Extends the in-conference moderator controls so the waiting room becomes a three-state setting (disabled / for_guests / for_everyone) and adds an explicit toggle for guest access. Disabling guest access kicks all current guests and blocks new ones.

Implementation notes: "Manage waiting room" uses a generic SubmenuMenuItem (Popover opening to the right, hover with grace period + click). Disabling guest access goes through DisableGuestAccessDialog (danger-styled confirm); enabling is dispatched directly. The guest-access entry is visible only to the room owner with the guests_allowed feature.
Definition of Done
Manage waiting room
- Entry shows
MeetingRoomicon when active andNoMeetingRoomwhenInactive. - Hovering opens the submenu to the right; cursor traversal between parent and submenu keeps it open; leaving closes it after a short delay. Click also opens it.
- Current state is marked with a check; selecting another state closes the menu and emits
change_waiting_room_statewith the matchingnew_state. - Other moderators see the corresponding notification (
waiting-room-disabled-message/waiting-room-for-guests-message/waiting-room-enabled-message). -
for_guests: registered users join directly, guests / dial-in wait.for_everyone: only moderators bypass.
