Neil You do not need to INSTALL Jitsi. You share a common web

It works by two or more having access to a common web page,
which becomes private if HOST sets password for that session.
Copy of instructions I have given to some folk.

Thanks. (The above was followed by a lot of help and information
which I have not quoted.)

I had a look at the web pages you quoted. Firstly it complained
about my browser. Apparently it wants me to use the chrome
browser. No way thanks. Can't stand it. And no mention of
Firefox.

The second problem was that it failed to find my microphone. Yet
when I tested the mic  via PulseAudio it seems to be working just
fine.

There was no mention of my video, so perhaps that is working.

Anyway, thanks again. more research,

Neil

As a quick follow up,

looking at Jitsi on my laptop, it is not that it cannot find the
mic, it is telling me 'permission not granted'. Likewise for the
video. I can't find out what to do to get permission. I can't use
it with no sound or video,

Neil


In Firefox, if you go to

about:preferences#privacy

you should find a section called permissions you can then set
permissions for the video / microphone for example on a per site basis.

Paul

Thanks, but I never use Firefox,

Neil
