I was largely unsuccessful too. First, the login seemed to want to fail, but succeeded after some time, and then, the whole first part of the meeting ("show your gadgets") was a disaster, with only about 10-20% of the (broken) audio and video getting through. The second part (calendar topic) was somewhat better,
with about 30-40% of the (broken) audio and video getting through. The third part (final informal round table) was similar, but my numerous attempts to join that discussion all failed. Nobody even heard me trying to speak. (Yes, I did at that time have my mic turned on for whole minutes at a time.) It just wasn't a "real time" experience at all.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000"> <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000">I couldn't totally rule out my 11-year-old laptop being insufficient for this, but now I see I'm not the only one. I was using MS Edge (newest Chromium-based one) for this, for two reasons. First, I was too afraid to upset my normal (totally up-to-date) Firefox, where I always have lots of important things open. Secondly, though Firefox is my main browser, I have learned that certain things tend to freeze or crash my Firefox, and a
Chromium-based browser does much better on those things. Also, Firefox is terrible at freeing up memory and whatever else when I've used (and later closed) a lot of tabs.<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000"> <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:#000000"></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><font size="2">Hartmut W Sager - Tel +1-204-339-8331<br></font></span><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, 9 Dec 2020 at 10:09, Kevin McGregor <<a href="mailto:kevin.a.mcgregor@gmail.com">kevin.a.mcgregor@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Which browser are you using?

<br>
Am I the only one who had a jitsi failure last night? After a bit of<br>
a struggle just to log in, there was no way I could get the audio<br>
to work. I've never had a problem for previous meetings. Too bad<br>
I'm not a lip reader. I could see them moving. Was our attendance <br>
lower that what might be expected?<br>
<br>
While I'm here: it's dues-paying time for me. Do we have inteac e-transfers<br>
set up for our banking. I could make the direct deposit and avoid any<br>
fees being charged to MUUG.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Michael<br>
