Summary

Calls plugin v1.12.0 introduces experimental video support, gated behind a new Enable video calls in DMs (Experimental) plugin setting (EnableVideo, default off). This makes the existing end-user FAQ — which states video is not supported — inaccurate. This PR updates the docs accordingly.

This was flagged by the docs-impact-review bot on the server version-bump PR (mattermost/mattermost#37077).

Changes

  • End User Guide → Make calls (make-calls.rst): Rewrote the "Is video supported?" FAQ to describe experimental video in DM calls (desktop/web), with limitations:
    • Available in DM calls only
    • Not available on mobile (received video calls behave as audio + screen share; mobile users can't start video calls)
    • Call recordings capture voice and screen sharing only — video isn't recorded
  • System Console settings reference (plugins-configuration-settings.rst): Added an "Enable video calls in DMs (Experimental)" entry (config.json enablevideo, env var MM_CALLS_ENABLE_VIDEO), cross-linked from the FAQ.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Two documentation files are updated to cover the experimental "Enable video calls in DMs" plugin setting. The admin configuration reference gains a new setting block with its config path, environment variable, and behavioural details. The end-user FAQ expands the video support answer to describe the feature, how to enable it, and its limitations.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Admin config setting and end-user FAQ for DM video calls
source/administration-guide/configure/plugins-configuration-settings.rst, source/end-user-guide/collaborate/make-calls.rst		 The admin guide adds the "Enable video calls in DMs (Experimental)" block with its config.json path, environment variable (MM_CALLS_ENABLE_DM_VIDEO), true/false semantics, and an experimental-status note. The end-user FAQ expands the "Is video supported?" answer to document the experimental DM video feature, the System Console setting admins use to enable it, and limitations: DM-only, unavailable on mobile (behaves as audio), and recordings do not capture video.
