Hi.

OK, as soon as I see these sort of issues the first thing that always springs to mind is the proxy (and possibly websockets)

Then I look and see this:

Can you do a couple of things to test?

First try in https://open.rocket.chat #sandbox and see if that works. That is usually on the very latest usable code.

The please try on a local only test 3.15 to eliminate anything to do with your firewall/proxy.

Let us know how you get along.

Thank you for your answer

I Tried it on #sandbox https://open.rocket.chat, everything is fine.

I also decided to try doing it directly, without the FortiGate (fortiweb) proxy at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: 3000, and I didn’t have a button to send an audio message in my chat.

4

OK, so the culprit here is either the version you have, or your proxy/setup.

Are you running a reverse proxy?

I’d also fire up a test VM with 3.15 and check there. Just use a local domain name etc.

5

Yes, we use a reverse proxy (fortigate- fortiweb)
For substitution of SSL certificates and spoofing of ports

6

Well you can try a quick test on 3.15 but I think most likely the issue will be in your Fortigate box - as I suspected at the outset. You need to take a careful look at the reverse proxy (and a look at the logs too!)

Can you test the websockets work correctly?

7

Tried other options

I updated my installation to 3.15 - didn’t help

I tried setting up WebSockets on my proxy - it didn’t help

I installed the Nginx web server on the server and tried to do everything according to this instruction Configuring SSL Reverse Proxy - Rocket.Chat Docs - it did not help either.

8

Well clearly we know it works at open.rocket.chat

So clearly something is not right with your setup somewhere.

Have you tested that websockets are working correctly?

Check this doc for how to test - see websockets at the bottom.

How to ask for help

How have you got nginx set up etc? Show us your config.

Can you access the server on your local network with https (to avoid the router)?

i did a clean install 3.15.0
and get the same problem.
I am not using a router for the latest tests.
