Jitsi-meet: API: TOOLBAR_ALWAYS_VISIBLE is ignored on desktop browser

[VirginieGarcin]

Description

The option TOOLBAR_ALWAYS_VISIBLE: true in interfaceConfigOverwrite seems to be ignored on desktop browser.

Current behavior

Toolbar is dismissed after the number of milliseconds specified with TOOLBAR_TIMEOUT, even when TOOLBAR_ALWAYS_VISIBLE is true.

Expected Behavior

Toolbar should never be dismissed when TOOLBAR_ALWAYS_VISIBLE is true.

Environment details

Tested with Firefox 74 and Chome 80 on Fedora.

We have the same problem - I tried a workaround setting INITIAL_TOOLBAR_TIMEOUT to high value but It seems that this setting is also ignored and toolbar is hidden after default 20s.
However, setting the TOOLBAR_TIMEOUT seems to work, but that unfortunately does not affect the initial state

Same here using Chrome in Ubuntu

Can confirm on 83.0.4103.97. It's a mayor problem for us since "moving the mouse in the iFrame to see the controls" is not instinctive understandable for some user

This issue is still present, should be reopen.

please reopen, would be helpful: the indicator if there are unread chat messages will hide together with the toolbar, so it's easy to miss.
