By checking this setting, your instance will not publish chat information on the fediverse. Remote Peertube instances will not be aware that they are chat rooms associated to your videos.<br> <b>Please note</b>: if you already had chats in progress, it is possible that the information has already been published. You will have to wait for the next video update before the information is unpublished. Also, if you disable this setting, you'll have to wait for the videos to be updated before the information are published again. This update happens among others when a live event resumes or stops.<br> <b>Please note</b>: this setting only affects the publication of information via the ActivityPub protocol. It will not prevent a remote application from otherwise detecting the presence of chats, and trying to connect to it.
With Peertube >= 5.0.0, this plugin try to use Websocket connection for chatting. If the user's browser or connection is incompatible, the browser will automatically fall back on the BOSH protocol. <br> But in rare case, this can fail. For example, if you have a reverse proxy in front of Peertube that does not allow Websocket connection for plugins. In this case, you can check this setting to disable Websocket connections.
By enabling this option, it will be possible to connect to rooms using external XMPP accounts and XMPP clients.<br> <span class="peertube-plugin-livechat-warning"> <b>Warning</b>, enabling this option can request extra server and DNS configuration. </span> Please refer to the documentation: <a href="https://johnxlivingston.github.io/peertube-plugin-livechat/documentation/admin/advanced/xmpp_clients/" target="_blank"> Enable external XMPP account connections. </a>
