Client-side muting of specific users

[dreamflasher]

Your use case

What would you like to do?

Muting specific users only for me

Why would you like to do it?

When two participants in a meeting are physically in the same room (different computers), they will hear the other person twice: once directly and once with a lag via BBB.

How would you like to achieve it?

Person B can decide to mute and unmute person A for themself. Person B will thus hear person A only directly "over air", not via BBB. Person C (at some other location) is still able to hear person A as before.

Have you considered any alternatives?

None, unless the lag can be decreased to really small values for participants in a local network.

Additional context

This feature exists in Jitsi and Discord, and is requested for BBB: bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton#10643
I like the way it's done in Jitsi: You have a volume control per participant, which additionally solves volume difference issues
