-====== Using Jitsi ======
-We've been testing [[https://jitsi.org/ |Jitsi]] for video chat because of the unlimited time it offers compared to Zoom.  Here are a few tricks we've learned so far.
-===== On a Computer: =====
-  * You don't need to download anything since Jitsi runs straight from the browser.
-  * Jitsi seems a bit CPU-hungry so you should close all other programs during the meeting.
-  * Use headphones instead of the laptop's speaker to helps reduce feedback for others.
-==== Getting Started ====
-  * In your browser, type the URL we emailed you and enter the password when prompted, then confirm which camera and microphone you want to use.
-  * <wrap hi>Before joining the meeting:</wrap>, enter your name and callsign, and put yourself on mute.

-==== During The Meeting ====
-  * Stay muted unless you're the one talking to reduce the amount of background noise / feedback.
-  * We'll also be using the "raise hand" function if we need to vote on anything.
-  * To see the control buttons, move your mouse and they'll appear at the bottom of the screen.

-===== On a Mobile Device =====
-  * Download the Jitsi app instead of using the browser.
-  * We've notice some devices create a lot of feedback when using the device's speakers so <wrap hi>headphones are a must</wrap>.
-==== Getting Started ====
-  * Open the app, and click on the the three horizontal lines in the top left corner.
-{{ :howto:jitsi03.png?300 }}
-  * Add your name and callsign and ''Start with audio muted''.
-{{ :howto:jitsi04.png?300 }}
-  * Back at the previous screen, enter the name of the room.
-==== During the meeting ====
-  * Stay muted unless you're the one talking to reduce the amount of background noise / feedback.
-  * To access the buttons, tap anywhere in the screen and you'll see this (from left to right):
-    * Change your name and callsign
-    * Mute / Unmute
-    * Hangup
-    * Turn camera on and off
-    * Settings
-{{ :howto:jitsi05.png?300 }}
-  * In the Settings is where you can raise your hand.

-  * Pro-tip: turn your mobile device sideways so everyone can see you in landscape instead of portrait.
