I've looked into this a few days ago, due to the current pandemic
situation to stay in touch with my family:

- https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/issues/4758
-
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?status_whiteboard_type=substring&status_whiteboard=jitsi-meet

Main FF "bug" seems to be 5y old:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1164187

As I understand it, FF says the feature is not needed and Jitsi says it
won't implement a special solution for FF. My guess is, FF might start
moving now, as video conferencing just became more important...

Thanks for the BBB info. Had not seen this yet.
