[HLUG] Jitsi

[Ceri Williams]

Hi Pete,

Running a container would give you access to debug your connection via 
the logs to see what fails. Using Docker would also allow unsecured so 
that you could easily view the traffic.

For a more trial and error approach:
- head to https://meet.jit.si and create a room
- run either a second browser, or use the mobile app to join the same 
room (to make sure that you aren't just getting shown your sound & video 
client side) for a full test

Check the developer console in Firefox for network etc. Also, check 
about:config as I seem to recall the ability to block WebRTC somewhere in 
there (can't check on mobile), or maybe use a new profile in Firefox to 
start clean.

Happy Solstice!
