Looks like jitsi changed how they set up meetings and passcodes. If I enter 'Slackware' on the website https://meet.jit.si/ I get a warning "The room name is unsafe. Unwanted participants may join your conference. Consider securing your meeting using the security button." But 'SlackwareRulez!' no such warning. Once you set up a meeting and join, there is a yellow shield button (security button) on the lower right corner to add additional security, such as lobby and password. There is also the end-to-end Encryption option in the options menu (3 vertical dots). However, this is only supported on Chromium 83+ based web browsers, not Firefox. https://jitsi.org/security/ It only took me 1/2 a beer to figure this out. To be fair, the User Guide sucks donkey balls - pretty much empty. And the security page omits any mention of how to GET to the security settings. Ah, open source. ZESTY! TL;DR the rest of this thread. I attribute Ben's linguistic pedantry to his parental units. -Ed
