If the app is not installed, download Jitsi Meet using one of the links below, then return to this page and select the meeting room again.
This guide follows the same order most members will experience: open the Club room, allow devices, enter your name, check audio/video, join the meeting, then use the main toolbar once you are inside.
On your first time joining a meeting, you may need to go through the below steps to confirm youre device is setup correctly. Most users will find the way our meeting platform works is the same as other applications they have used and work in much the same way (ie. Microsoft Teams, Zoom etc).
If this is your first visit, your browser may display a permissions window before you join. This is normal. Without permission, Jitsi will not be able to use your microphone or camera.
After allowing permissions, you will usually see the pre-join screen. This is where you identify yourself and confirm your microphone, camera and other device options before entering the room.
