Chromium doesn't work with Jitsy, I discovered. Why that should be the case for me is odd but it is what it is. I installed Chrome and found that Jitsy works fine both audio and video. Doesn't take much memory either and no latency issues. If someone wants to send me an invite and using chrome I could verify that.

Many thanks and stay safe!

NMGLugers, So, use 'sudo apt install chromium-browser' or your "Software Center" or other gui to add the Chromium Browser for the jitsy sessions. We all noticed a heavy use of CPU and memory during the session with Chromium, so I hope you have at least 4 GB ram or better, 8 GB or more. The Web and web apps have become very demanding. You can still do "rocket science" with less, but video and audio and whatever else is  going on in a web conference seems to have heavy requirements. Thank you, Ted P.

On the other hand you can jump into IRC using a 20 year old computer! I still use https://irssi.org but there are other options that might be more familiar. Hexchat, Pidgin, Weechat and of course through a browser https://webchat.freenode.net
