Hi, I haven't used jitsi yet, but other video-converencing web sites properly work in firefox. Jitsi claim they support chrome only, but according to the settings window's microphone level meter, it's properly recording. There was a recent regression in firefox 73., so check that you're using version 74 before testing. HTH, -- Alexandre
