[Discuss] Setting Up a Jitsi Meeting

[Ed Fletcher]

Thanks very much, it worked quite well.  I logged in a few hours early and sent out the link.  Just some noise problems from a couple of computers, one of which was mine.  :(  I think I need to look at some new hardware.

Much better than Zoom, although Jitsi now forces you to install their app if you’re on a phone or tablet.

Thanks again,
Ed

You can also set a password for your session but it only lasts until everyone logs out. Then the session name becomes available again, without a password.
