How to customize the radio look&feel ?

In fact the webradio is just a html <audio> element.
So it is quite limited to make some customizations. However we will add some better player soon like: https://www.mediaelementjs.com/

Where to find Radio streams ?

Google is your friend: You can easily find thousands of free radios
ex: http://dir.xiph.org/

But.. make sure they are playable inside the html5 <audio>element (mostly of time they should be .mp3 files)

How to start webcams muted ?

This is also a frequent question. You can now start webcam muted in a room. (go to your chatadmin ->rooms)

But you can also assign muted webcam per role.
(go to chatadmin->roles->advanced)

Ex: admin And DJ roles will have webcam no muted, whereas roles like guest and user will have their webcam muted
