https://fairmeeting.net is an audio and video conferencing service hosted in Europe by [fairkom](https://fairkom.eu).
## Tipps
1. Use a headset
1. Connect your laptop with a LAN cable or sit near to your WiFi router
1. Mute your microphone when not speaking
1. Mute your video to save bandwidth for all participants
1. Use the chat window to exchange meta - messages or links
1. To structure your meeting and make notes, either use the built in shared document or prepare one before the meeting at board.net and share its link with the invitation
1. Start with a check-in and end with a check-out e.g. by exchanging two hashtags each
### Which web browser do you recommend?
[`Chromium`](https://chromium.woolyss.com/) (or Google Chrome) works best, as it supports P2P Multicast and saves bandwidth for everybody and CPU load on the fairmeeting servers. Also a latest Edge browser works fine (as it got a Chrome engine embedded end of 2019). But you can also use Firefox ([may result in lower video quality](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/issues/4758#issuecomment-604463127)). Safari users have to disable the “WebRTC Unified Plan” feature in the developer settings to be able to join.

### Can I reserve a room?
Sure. Simply create a URL like `https://fairmeeting.net/myroomname` and you can use that room whenever you need it. Share the link as a location for the next meeting. Be the first who enters the room - then you get granted moderator rights and you could mute others.
### Do I have to remove a room?
No. As soon as the latest person leaves the room, its chat and the board vanish. On the fairmeeting.net or the app's start page you see a list of rooms, which you had been entering. This is not stored on the server, but locally on your device only.
### Is there an app?
Use the `Jitsi Meet App` for your smartphone. In the `Settings` menu, set `https://fairmeeting.net` as your server. It supports all features like a conference session in a browser, except playing or showing a Youtube video.
