XMPP-Servive: No picture upload in MUCs?

Hi,

it is not possible to upload pictures in MUCs using a riot-account. Picture upload in 1to1-chats works fine.

Is this for security reasons?

Thx for chat.riseup.net!

Do I understand correctly that this concerns a Matrix to XMPP bridge? Are you sure the bridge supports it?

Hi, it seems this issue is not resolved.

I assume what Lunokhod was referring to is the "http upload" feature.

As it stands without anything setup for it, some clients will perform file transfers using Jingle in 1:1, requiring for both users to be online at the same time, and nothing is available in MUCs. Not that it's impossible with Jingle to do group transfers on a protocol level but it seems interest is not there.

Instead clients use "http upload" nowadays with higher priority than jingle when it is available. A server module acts as intermediary, client uploads to their own server, server gives back a link, client sends link in chat with some metadata to indicate it's a media.

I see you're running prosody, one of the following modules should do it:
