NEW VIDEO CHAT

[admin]

Hey everyone - with many of us stuck home lets give this new video chat room a try

just go to

https://meet.jit.si/newart

Let us know what you think - if it works well maybe we'll get a server of our own for it.

You can do it from a computer web broswer or you can download the Jitsi app for Android or Iphone to join the meeting.

If the app asks for the name of the room just type in Newart.

Also you don't have to install the app to use it on your phone in all cases - not sure how it works on Iphone (maybe someone can let us know) but if your phone browser lets you "request desktop version" in the settings - as it does on the Android version of Chrome then you can join the video chat
right from Chrome without having to install the app - easy!

below is a screenshot of the setting on my Android phone in Chrome browser to request "Desktop Mode".

if you don't request the desktop mode then the phone will instead prompt you to download the app - which also works (and may work better than doing it in the browser)

Here is a link to the Android app if you want to install it - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jitsi.meet&hl=en

Here is a link to the Iphone app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/jitsi-meet/id1165103905

Remember - when the app asks the room name enter "Newart"
Here is a Youtube video that gives a 48 second intro to what Jitsi is - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reRsL9tIZnU
