What is Aurinoco's Jitsi service?¶
Since September 2021, Aurinoco provides the Jitsi videoconferencing service. It is free to Aurinoco subscribers.
It works for AVCAN, ERN and Internet-connected clients and may be more reliable than Zoom etc., especially when all clients are on AVCAN or ERN. To be updated when we have more operational experience.

A logon is required to create and moderate Jitsi videoconference meetings. Meetings can be created with the default random name (security by obscurity) or a name of your choice. More on the Jitsi security page above.
For further information and to request a logon, please contact Aurinoco support giving your personal and family names and telling us whether to send the password by Signal (preferred) or WhatsApp.
