Hello Paul,

Sadly, other commitments mean that I won't be able to be at Broad Oak
this afternoon.

Have a good meet-up and if I don't make it this month then maybe May be!

Thanks,

John Spragg

A reply or two saying you are planning to be there would be nice as I'm aware it is in the middle of the Easter weekend and other things may be happening instead! 🙂

There is also an app that you will be asked to download if you are using Android or Apple (it is also available through F-Droid). Personally I find the best option is the Electron app that can be downloaded from https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron as an AppImage or a Deb package. It is also available from Flathub and the Snap store as third party build, but I don't know how up to date those
