-------------------------------------------------------------

San Francisco Linux Users' Group's next meeting is this
upcoming Sunday September 1st of Labor Day Weekend,

Quoting the still current SF-LUG webpage www.sf-lug.org
(current as of this writing) :

Browser: one will need sufficiently recent version of, e.g.
Chromium, Chrome, or possibly Firefox - in any case one that well
supports WebRTC.
Dial-in (audio alternative or audio only): +1.512.647.1431
PIN: 524 338 639#

OTOH, directly quoting Rick Moen <rick at linuxmafia.com> from this
June's posting http://linuxmafia.com/pipermail/sf-lug/2024q2/016014.html

That's a bit ludicrous.  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.

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.
