In the previous version of the Eventyay Video component (before the unified platform merge), organizers and moderators could see the number of attendees currently present in each video room.

This functionality is missing in the unified version of Eventyay.
Reintroducing it is important for organizers to monitor session engagement, room activity, and audience participation in real time.

Expected Behavior

• Each active video room should display the number of attendees currently connected.
• The count should update dynamically as participants join or leave the room.

Observed Behavior

• The unified version of Eventyay Video currently does not display the number of connected participants.
• No indicator exists in the UI for tracking audience presence during live or recorded sessions.

Suggested Fix

• Reintroduce the attendee count functionality from the legacy Eventyay Video implementation.
• Add a small attendee counter UI element (e.g., “👥 24”).
• Update the count live without requiring a page refresh.
• Ensure the counter gracefully handles disconnections or room switches.

Testing Checklist

• Organizer and speaker view show attendee count correctly.
• Count updates in real time as users join/leave the session.
• Display behaves correctly across different video backends (YouTube, Jitsi, BBB).
• Counter disappears or resets when room is inactive.
