Pre Check-ins
- Ensure you have received your OSID and MD5
- Ensure you are using a supported OS
- Ensure you are using a system with a webcam
- Ensure you are using Google Chrome/Firefox/Brave/Edge/Chromium. No need to install a browser extension in Firefox.
- Ensure you have the Janus plug-in installed if you are using Chrome/Brave/Edge/Chromium
- For Kali or Linux-based Operating systems with 3-4 monitors, we highly recommend you use Chrome instead of Firefox to avoid the screens being in an extended display setup.
- Graphical User Interface for Kali, Ubuntu, and Debian OS should be Xorg/X11 as the screen sharing mostly does not work with Wayland.
