I like the way Jitsi Meet handles meeting names. If you go to the main URL (e.g.https://meet.jit.si) you can choose whatever you want for the meeting name (e.g. GTALUGtalk)
Yeah, that's better. Nextcloud Talk didn't really get as much attention prior to the pandemic and there's a strong memory of "Zoom bombing" that happened for about 5 minutes early during Covid. Hence, they want to obscure room names still. Some LUGs still don't publish their meeting URLs until the day before a meeting because they got "bombed" 5 years ago. Same with a Nextcloud "File Drop" - a URL that users can upload files to but not see other files that have been dropped there. It'd be nice to have its URL be something like "/uploads" but they, for security reasons, disagree. I oughta write an app to handle this but my PHP is rusty, I don't know Symfony, and having tried to get a merge request approved in the past kinda soured me on it.
