Automatically open Voice Room video in full screen on join

Users frequently join Voice Rooms and think nothing is happening. The video is either hidden or reduced to a small, easy-to-miss preview, depending on where they join from. Currently, the Voice Room video only appears as a small preview in the top-right corner—and only if the user is already on a channel page. If they join from an Events page, a Course, or a Resource, no video appears at all. This creates a confusing and unintuitive flow: users must be on desktop, navigate to a channel, notice the small preview, and manually expand it. This friction leads to frustration and significantly reduces Voice Room adoption. We actively promote community-led Voice Rooms to keep conversations inside the platform (instead of external tools like Zoom), but the current experience makes participation harder than it should be. We’re also seeing inconsistent behavior across browsers, with Chrome displaying more video feeds than Safari. Requested improvements: Automatically surface the Voice Room video regardless of where the user joins from Open the Voice Room in full screen by default Improve cross-browser consistency, especially on Safari These changes would make Voice Rooms easier to understand, easier to join, and far more engaging for communities.

GMT / BST Timezone Enhancement Request

I schedule regular classes in the UK for international students and initially set them to GMT timezone. I discovered that GMT doesn't automatically adjust for British Summer Time transitions, which caused scheduling confusion for my students. While I understand GMT is technically correct as a fixed timezone, it would be helpful if there was either: A clearer indication in the timezone picker that GMT doesn't adjust for daylight saving Or consideration for GMT to automatically handle BST transitions since many UK users expect this behaviour I've switched my events to 'Europe/London' timezone which works perfectly, but this might help other UK-based community builders avoid the same confusion. Thanks for considering this feedback.

Evendeals Integration

Evendeals is a purchasing power parity tool that helps us sell GLOBALLY. They do this by creating promo codes for specific countries to give them a discount according to their purchasing power! The visitors country is automatically detected and the relevant promo code is then displayed on the banner for them. Learn more at : https://www.evendeals.com/ A direct integration with them through the API would be GOLDEN! Another community platform has the ability to have this occur but it’s manual - the discount codes on Stripe have to be created manually. A DIRECT integration through the API would mean the discount codes would be created automatically! This means less works AND the codes can be regenerated automatically to prevent abuse! We NEED this! 🤓
