Signaling Salt
Danger
This value must be kept secret.
The signaling salt is used to derive a participants device id from their device secret. The device id is used as a unique identifier for a device. When not set, a random 24 character string is generated at startup. This means, that the signaling salt changes on each restart when not configured.
Room Idle Timeout
When all participants leave a room, it is not destroyed immediately. This is to ensure that the state of the room is not lost, when no participant is present for a short time. The room idle timeout determines how many seconds the RoomServer waits until destroying a room and dropping its state.
