Using Jitsi
We've been testing Jitsi for video chat because of the unlimited time that it offers compared to Zoom. Here are a few tricks we've noticed so far:
On a computer:
- You don't need to download anything since Jitsi runs straight from the browser.
- However, it seems to be pretty CPU-hungry. It might be a good idea to close all other programs while running Jitsi.
- Using headphones instead of the laptop's speaker helps reduce feedback for others.
Getting Started
- In your browser, type the URL we emailed you and enter the password when prompted. You'll then be asked to confirm which camera and microphone you want to use.
On a mobile device
- You can 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 headphones are a must.
Some general advise
- Put yourself on mute when you're not talking to reduce the background noise / feedback.
