Dear all, Today's DCGLUG meeting has rather crept up on me and so I now realise that if there's any time to announce this it should be now! Recently Jitsi Meet was released as a Flatpak package, which bundles dependencies to improve compatibility and also provides 'sandboxing' preventing access to various services on your computer. The Flatpak is not official to Jitsi itself, but is built from the official Jitsi Meet desktop program. If you want to see who packaged it, see this link: https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/1690 Perhaps some will benefit from being able to run Jitsi Meet in a separate window and as a separate process. This package seems to be reasonably well sandboxed as it has no access to any files on your system or home folder, although it does have access to devices (this obviously includes the microphone, I'm not sure whether this also includes storage devices). ------------------------------------------------------------ If you already have Flatpak installed, here's the installation command for Jitsi: flatpak install flathub org.jitsi.jitsi-meet And if it's not in your application launch after you login out and in again, you can run it with this: flatpak run org.jitsi.jitsi-meet ------------------------------------------------------------ Best wishes, Sebastian Freenode: 'seabass' -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dcglug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
