The Android version of Jitsi Meet recently removed immersive mode support, which previously hide system status/navigation bars to provide a fullscreen experience. This change was introduced in PR #16513 on the Jitsi Meet project.

The Handbook currently does not mention this change or guide developers embedding the Android SDK about the updated behavior. Since system bars can now affect layout and UI design differently across Android versions and devices, a short documentation update would help integrators avoid confusion.

Proposed fix:
Add a brief note to the Android SDK documentation describing the current system bars behavior and linking to PR #16513.
Affected section:
Developer Guide → Android SDK docs

References:

• PR: dep(react-native-immersive-mode): remove everything related to this jitsi-meet#16513

Acceptance criteria:

• Android SDK documentation includes a section noting that immersive mode was removed
• Clear guidance is provided for handling system bars and safe-area insets when embedding the SDK
