Jisti Meet is a web-based audio/video conferencing service that can be used by
|
|
any Luon users as well as any other person you would like to have a one-on-one
|
|
or multiparty conference with.
|
|
|
|
For more information about Jitsi Meet, see:
|
|
[jitsi.org/jitsi-meet](https://jitsi.org/jitsi-meet/).

|
## Conferences/rooms
|
|
|
|
To start a conference, go to landing page at
|
|
[meet.luon.net](https://meet.luon.net), pick a random or specific room
|
|
name and press "Go". When pressed, the browser will redirect to an URL like
|
|
`https://meet.luon.net/roomname` where the conference will be held. This URL
|
|
can be provided to anyone you'd like to invite. It is also possible to start a
|
|
conference immediately by going to an URL like
|
|
`https://meet.luon.net/JustInTime`.
|
|
|
|
Because we have no authentication system hooked up yet, the first user that
|
|
enteres the conference will be the moderator. The moderator can mute and kick
|
|
other people, set the room password and can also direct who all the
|
|
participants see if desired. If the moderator leaves the conference, the
|
|
second user to enter the room will become the moderator, etc.
|
|
|
|
When everyone leaves the room, the conference and room will stop to exist. All
|
|
settings such as passwords will be lost.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
* When using this with only two participants in a room, the audio and/or video
|
|
traffic is peer-to-peer, it will not go via the server. With more
|
|
participants, it will go via the server. Traffic is still secure in both
|
|
cases!
|
|
* Jitsi Meet works best on the desktop using a recent version of the Firefox or
|
|
Chrome/Chromium.
|
|
* There is a mobile app available for Android and iOS called "Jitsi Meet". It
|
|
has better performance and provides the same functionality.
|

## Features
|
|
|
|
Jisti Meet is quite user-friendly. Feel free to try out all the buttons 🙂.
|
|
|
|
Below are some features that are less obvious/discoverable and might be nice to
|
|
know:
|
|
|
|
* **Push-to-talk**. Sometimes your surroundings are noisy and you want to use
|
|
push to talk to only send your sound when you want to. Just press *Space*
|
|
to enable this. You will be muted and are only unmuted when you press
|
|
*Space*. Unmute yourself to disable push-to-talk.
|
|
* **YouTube**: You can stream a YouTube video to all participants that will see
|
|
it in sync. Use the more menu in the lower-right corner. To stop/remove the
|
|
video, again use the more menu.
|
|
* **Screen sharing**: This works fine on Windows and Linux on X11. With Linux
|
|
on Wayland there is a caveat: you can only share your entire browser or a
|
|
browser tab, not your entire screen or another application.
|
|
* **Privacy**: To prevent random people from entering the conference, you can
|
|
set a password using the more menu in the lower-right corner. Participants
|
|
that go to the URL to enter the conference will need to use that password
|
|
to continue from now on.
|
|
* **Participant volume**: Sometimes, one person is louder than the rest, you
|
|
can go to the top-right corner and use the participants more menu to adjust
|
|
the relative volume.
