[aaronco36 at sdf.org]

Besides agenda items at the current BALUG meeting, e.g., "Theme: mailman3
and upgrades" as per  https://www.balug.org/#Meetings-upcoming , is there
further ongoing discussion re: the "evolution" and/or consolidation of the
various Jitsi Meet connection-description suggestions mentioned within the
SF-LUG sources below?

    URL.
    Please use earbud(s)/headphone(s) or mute yourself to avoid audio
    feedback issues, also please if you have background sound/noise
    issues mute yourself when not talking.
    Generally works quite fine with reasonably modern Firefox
    Chrome/Chromium, Microsoft Edge, possibly others (requires WebRTC
    https://webrtc.org/
    (Wikipedia: WebRTC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebRTC)
    (can also do some testing here: https://test.webrtc.org/ Probably
    don't worry about minor items like "Reflexive connectivity" )), from
    desktop, laptop, tablet, smart phone, etc.

...
It's 2024.  You'd have to search really _hard_ to find a sufficiently
ancient graphical Web browser that doesn't work with Jitsi Meet.
Probably MSIE.

Just say "Web browser", for heaven's sake.  Alternatively, there
are bespoke Jitsi Meet clients for desktop and smartphone OSes.

And yes, Jitsi Project does have a painfully exact "supported browsers"
list.  https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/user-guide/supported-browsers/
Even there, context matters:  These are versions _guaranteed_ to have
not a trace of problems, i.e., specifically tested and vetted.  That
doesn't mean, say, Firefox 67, a 2019 piece of software, wouldn't work.
It would.  Practically anything from the last 20 years would.
