Hello Thierry,
xdg-open is a program which starts the default application for a file
format or a protocol. It is usually run by most web-browsers when they
do not know how to handle a protocol, independently of whether you have
the needed application or not.
Does the "Call" button point to a link? What protocol does that link
use? Maybe you need a special client application for Jitsi?
I never really saw this link. It might be:
https://8x8.vc/vpaas-magic-cookie-b140a0b5ec384b5db9402c0551fc1010/<room…
as this is the link I get to share.
And no, I dont need a special client. This is what I have:
Notebook:
- Click on the "Call" button
- xdg-open dialog
- click on Open xdg-open -> reopens browser
- click on Cancel -> nothing happens
Desktop:
- Click on the "Call" button -> a side window opens to let me connect
Both computers run the same Debian 10, same software installed.
I'm pretty sure that it *did* work on th notebook at the start. And as the
exact same behaviour happens whatever the browser I use, I think "something"
has been written "somewhere" that causes xdg-open to do the wrong thing, but
I don't know where to look.
Unfortunately the desktop has neither camera nor microphone, so it's of litle
use for on-line conferences...
For me with MS-Teams, it shows the same prompt (open
with xdg-open?), in
which I click "Cancel" and then proceed to click "Join with this
browser", which lets me join through the web-browser.
Nope, not here. http://meet.jit.si let's me connect if I have the right room
address, which I can get using the desktop.
So http://meet.jit.si/<room_address> lets me connect but then I am no more in
the shared environment (where the video is only a side window).
