 +===== Description =====
 +Jitsi Meet is an Open Source WebRTC JavaScript application that uses Jitsi Videobridge to provide high quality, scalable video conferences. 
 +
 +All you need to know really is that it is a great piece of software to host your own online video meeting with others, with little to no constraint for anyone.
 +
 +<WRAP center round important 95%>
 +**Update 2021-02-24**: latest Chromium version 88.0.4324 (available in Debian repositories) fixes the desktop sharing issues, so we highly recommend to update your Chromium browser to that version.
 +
 +We are experiencing issues when doing screen sharing on a dual-screen GNU/Linux desktop. On Chromium it crashes the particular Chrome tab, on Firefox it crashed the whole OS :warning:
 +
 +Also, if it fails on Chromium, closing the tab and opening a new one (within the same browser) tends to **fix** the issue, allowing you to share your screen just fine.

 +
 +===== Nomagic documentation =====
 +The //User documentation// in the link will present you with pretty much everything you need to know. As a Nomagic user, you will be able to open a meeting room after authenticating with your usual credentials.

 +If you send a link to a meeting in advance and are late for the meeting, others will be invited to wait for you (the host) :seat:

 +
 +==== Interface menu ====
 +Once connected to a meeting, you will always see a menu at the bottom (it auto-hides but comes back on mouse movement):
 +
 +{{ :en:nomagic:appliweb:jitsimeet:menu_details.png?nolink |}}
 +
 +^ Menu button ^ Description ^
 +| (1) Mute / Unmute | To mute / unmute your microphone (keypad shortcut = ''m''). You can also change input/output using the drop-down arrow in the lower-right side of the button. \\ **note:** it is also possible to switch to a //push to talk// mode using the ''spacebar''. |
 +| (2) Start / Stop camera | To activate / deactivate your webcam (keypad shortcut = ''v''). |
 +| (3) Share your screen | You can select to share your whole desktop or a specific window. |
 +| (4) Open / Close chat | Use the chat to share links or short text with the others (keypad shortcut = ''c''). | 
 +| (5) Raise / Lower your hand | It's good practice to keep your microphone on mute when you are not interacting. Raising your hand is a way to ask to speak without interrupting the current speaker (keypad shortcut = ''r''). |
 +| (6) Toggle tile view | Toggle between main speaker and mosaic views (keypad shortcut = ''w''). |
 +| (7) Invite people | To allow you to invite more people (you could also just share the URL, it's exactly the same). |
 +| <nowiki>(8)</nowiki> More actions | Here you have various additional self-explanatory options. \\ **Manage video quality** may help in some cases, though Jitsimeet already switch to a lower resolution level when lower bandwidth are detected. \\ **note:** ''Share audio'' is limited to Chromium/Chrome tab audio sharing only. We have not tested the ''Share a Youtube video''. |
 +| (9) Leave | To leave the meeting. |

 +  * Additional options
 +
 +^ Menu entry ^ Description ^
 +| Local Recording Controls | As of June 2022, the moderator / the host can record the full content (audio and video) of a meeting. Note that this will work with **Chromium/Chrome** only, by selecting your Jitsimeet tab in the **tab** selection after choosing to record the session. **You need to manually start and stop the recording using the menu within Jitsimeet**, or nothing will be recorded / kept. \\  \\ {{:en:nomagic:appliweb:jitsimeet:recording_jitsi_local.png?nolink|}} |
 +| Security options | This is to add another layer of restriction by setting up a password in order to access the room. It's optional and not typically used, but it's available. |

 +===== FAQ =====
 +
 +==== What about Jitsi Meet in Matrix/Element ? ====
 +It's working ! If you are more than 2 people in a room, Jitsimeet widget will get started when clicking on the video button.
 +
 +==== I missed the 'Allow' microphone / webcam initial step ====
 +Not to worry, you can change / update browser permission at any time from the icon located left of the URL / address bar.
