mod_invites_adhoc: Fail contact invite if user is not on current host Only the username was being used, and the host of the requester ignored. Luckily this only affects admins of the host. If they want to create an account they can use the other command. If they want to create a contact they should request from their account on this host.

summary: 'Experimental module to add metadata to media in MUCs'
...

# Introduction

This module adds additional metadata to media shared in a MUC. This can help clients
make decisions and provide better UI and enhanced privacy, by knowing things like file
size without needing to make external network requests.

::: {.alert .alert-danger}
**NOTE:** This is an experimental module. It is not supported by any
clients, and therefore is mainly of interest to client developers who
wish to explore the idea.

## Example stanzas

A normal message in a chatroom containing an image:

```
<message from="test@rooms.example.com/matthew" id="9f45a784-5e5b-4db5-a9b3-8ea1d7c1162d" type="groupchat">
  <body>https://matthewwild.co.uk/share.php/70334772-ff74-439b-8173-a71e40ca28db/mam-flow.png</body>

```

The same stanza with this module loaded now contains additional metadata added by the server:

```
