Feature Request: Confirmation dialog before closing/reloading the meeting tab

[farapholch]

What problem are you trying to solve?

Currently, a user can accidentally close the browser tab or reload the page during an active meeting, causing an immediate disconnection. To improve user experience and prevent accidental exits, maybe Jitsi Meet could implement a confirmation dialog (using the beforeunload event) when a call is in progress.

• Prevents accidental disconnects: Users won't lose their connection due to a misclick.

What solution would you like to see?

When a user attempts to close the tab, click a link that navigates away, or reload the page while joined to a conference, the browser should trigger a standard confirmation popup.

Is there an alternative?

I would like to work on this issue

I was able to reproduce this locally while closing or refreshing the tab during an active meeting, it disconnects immediately with now confirmation. I also checked in the console there's currently no beforeunload handler (using window.onbeforeunload is null).

I could add a beforeunload listener only while the conference is active and remove it when the user leaves, so the browser shows its standard confirmation popup. happy to work on it if sounds good.
