Remarks

  • Does not work well on Mozilla Firefox because it does not support all webrtc features. Nor does Firefox support simulcast (but it seems to be in the works). Server requirements. In Firefox version 94 some or all of those issues have been resolved
  • Warning: It is possible that Jitsi changes the sound settings of Firefox. After using Jitsi the sound level of Firefox was about 10% of what it was before. Here you can find the solution
  • Dutch: In Nederland is Jitsi beschikbaar via de webrowser via Bit*, Waag (duidelijke centraal icoon als iemand zijn hand opsteekt), NLUug.nl*, Speakup.nl* of nog een andere *: Handopstekers vallen minder goed op dan bij Waag
  • Audio only mode is possible
  • Not available in the Debian repository
  • Jitsi needs images from localhost. We could not find what these images are so we blocked them
  • Jitsy seem not to be able to record the audio from an other source than the camera's microphone is seems at first. After some experimenting and disconnecing the camera Jitsi seemed to work without camera but with the computer microphone. This is not tested yet
