== Linux ==

1. Download the AppImage at the [https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/releases link here]:

NOTE: Screen sharing has been fixed [https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/commit/d91bdee32113692a642b42252a49aba1e15e5aa2 in version 2.6.0 of the Jitsi app]. I recommend using '''at least version 2.6.0'''.

2. Run <code>cd ~/Downloads</code> in a terminal

3. Then in the same terminal, run <code>chmod +x jitsi-meet-x86_64.AppImage</code>

4. Run it by typing <code>./jitsi-meet-x86_64.AppImage</code> 

4a. let it integrate with your system (it won't modify anything deep in your Linux system, just adds a shortcut to the app)

5. Enter RHLUG-Virtual-Meeting in the "Enter a name for your conference" text box.

5a. Click the "GO" button. (Steps 5 and 5a are shown below:)

6. You should now see a window like this. Be sure to plug in a microphone to talk and webcam. Otherwise you can use the speech bubble to open and talk in the chat.

(The avatar that's generated is random. You can change it if you have a Gravatar account set up with an email, or just ignore it since we don't care. See [[Jitsi Meet Desktop App Instructions#Changing your Avatar]] for instructions.)

7. Have fun!

(Note: if you click outside of your window and more than 1 person is online, you may see their video feeds in small windows like this (if you minimize your windows except for Jitsi, it's easier to see them):)
