You<br></div><div>can just chat, listen and watch using a Chrome based browser.<br></div><div><br></div><div>%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%<br></div><div>RECOMMENDED CLIENT TESTING:<br></div><div><br></div><div>We will open the remote session by about 6:00 PM, Central Time zone.<br></div><div>Join early to test your microphone, screen, sound and video sharing.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Instead of using a browser, it has been recommended to use the official<br></div><div>Jitsi appimage clients. Reportedly using these clients consistently have<br></div><div>better results, with fewer connectivity, sound or video issues.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Appimage MS Windows, macOS and Linux client releases...<br></div><div><a href="https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/">https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>Mobile app clients for Apple or Android...<br></div><div><a href="https://jitsi.org/downloads">https://jitsi.org/downloads</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%<br></div><div>JOINING THIS ONLINE SESSION:<br></div><div><br></div><div>6:00pm Start testing of controls, hearing, screen sharing and speaking.<br></div><div><br></div><div>During this half hour test period others may be able to help you.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Currently known Firefox compatibility bugs may cause problems for others<br></div><div>already in Jitsi sessions.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Joining without ear buds, earphones or headset may result in a feedback<br></div><div>loop with a builtin laptop microphone. Using at-least earbuds is highly<br></div><div>recommended. Ethernet is always better than WiFi connectivity.<br></div><div><br></div><div>If you do not make the effort and take the time to get your connection<br></div><div>working correctly, you may be very disruptive. Try dropping your<br></div><div>connection and rejoin. That sometimes fixes issues. But, do so slowly,<br></div><div>as granting access to your microphone and camera too quickly is the<br></div><div>current main problem. Also, there are often sound settings in different<br></div><div>browsers that may need to be changed.<br></div><div><br></div><div>======================================================================<br></div><div>WHEN YOU ENTER THIS ONLINE SESSION:<br></div><div>6:00pm Join early.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Join early if you want to test your camera, microphone (sound), or<br></div><div>screen sharing.
