💡 Overview

Adds a Speaking detection on/off setting to the dogfood app (Settings → Device settings). Some audio devices misbehave when the app listens to the microphone in the background, and this lets people turn that off.

📝 Implementation notes

When the setting is off, the app turns off:

  • the "you are muted" warning
  • the mic level meters
  • the lobby speaking indicator

The choice is saved in localStorage, so it stays the same between sessions.

🎫 Ticket: https://linear.app/stream/issue/REACT-1209

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a setting to turn speaking detection on or off. The preference is saved between sessions and enabled by default.
    • Speaking indicators and microphone previews now follow the setting. When enabled, the app can notify you if you speak while muted.
    • Added localized setting labels and descriptions in German and Spanish.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The React dogfood app adds a speaking-detection setting that persists in local storage. The setting appears in device settings and controls microphone indicators, microphone selection, and speaking-while-muted notifications during calls.

Changes

Speaking detection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Persist speaking-detection state
sample-apps/react/react-dogfood/hooks/usePersistedToggle.ts, sample-apps/react/react-dogfood/context/SettingsContext.tsx
The settings context exposes a speaking-detection value and setter. The provider initializes them through a toggle persisted in local storage.
Expose the setting in device settings
sample-apps/react/react-dogfood/components/Settings/OnOffSettingsDropdown.tsx, sample-apps/react/react-dogfood/components/Settings/SettingsTabModal.tsx, sample-apps/react/react-dogfood/translations/app/de.json, sample-apps/react/react-dogfood/translations/app/es.json
The device settings tab displays a translated On/Off dropdown and a localized description of speaking detection.
Apply the setting to microphone behavior
sample-apps/react/react-dogfood/components/Lobby.tsx, sample-apps/react/react-dogfood/components/ToggleDualMicButton.tsx, sample-apps/react/react-dogfood/components/ToggleMicButton.tsx, sample-apps/react/react-dogfood/components/MeetingUI.tsx
The setting controls preview indicators and microphone selection. During calls, it controls speaking-while-muted notifications.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d47d9

The setting controls the microphone indicators and call notification as intended. The German title may suggest speech recognition, but its description clarifies the feature; this bounded wording issue does not block merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d47d9

The new default-on call behavior can request background microphone capture without the eligibility checks previously used for automatic speaking detection. Browser microphone permission still applies, and the detector does not publish audio. The impact is bounded to local microphone monitoring, but this is a meaningful privacy-control change.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The new default-on joined-call effect directly enables speaking detection whenever the microphone is disabled. Unlike the existing automatic detector subscription, this path does not require SEND_AUDIO capability or an already-granted browser microphone permission. It can therefore request auxiliary microphone capture in states that previously failed automatic detection eligibility. Browser consent remains enforced, and the stream is not connected to the publisher.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The identified exposure concerns the joined user’s browser microphone and local detector state. It requires detection enabled, a disabled microphone, and successful browser-authorized capture. The inspected detector path does not publish its stream or establish cross-tenant or service-level authority.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The introduced privacy concern is a new automatic capture caller outside the existing detector eligibility checks, not a demonstrated remote-exfiltration attack. The enabling API checks disabled status but does not repeat the subscription’s capability and prior-permission checks.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Browser permission remains a capture boundary: getAudioStream invokes the permission helper and navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia. The stored boolean is a local preference, not a credential or grant of publishing authority.
  • observed — The unchanged bare-call route does not consume this preference and retains default detector behavior. Its notification component only displays microphone state; it does not enable detection itself. This is a preexisting alternate-path limitation, not newly increased capture exposure.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — A preexisting exceptional-cleanup weakness remains: the manager clears its cleanup handle before awaiting teardown, while detector cleanup awaits AudioContext.close before stopping stream tracks. A rejection can therefore prevent track stopping without preserving that handle for retry. Supported-browser failure reachability was not established, and the PR does not change this implementation.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Keep app-triggered enabling subject to the same capability and capture-permission eligibility policy as automatic detection. Clarify whether the preference intentionally excludes bare-call routes. Independently strengthen detector teardown so stream tracks stop even if AudioContext cleanup fails.

- Around line 23-24: Update the setter in usePersistedToggle to persist the new
value before calling _setEnabled, and only update React state after the storage
write succeeds. Reuse the app’s existing storage-failure handling to surface
write errors without changing the toggle state.
