Video sessions run on WebRTC. Any browser that implements a recent WebRTC stack and has access to a camera and microphone can join.

​
Browsers

Video is tested on current versions of the major browsers:
  • Google Chrome (desktop and Android)
  • Microsoft Edge (desktop)
  • Mozilla Firefox (desktop and Android)
  • Safari (macOS and iOS)
Keeping the browser on a current version is the single highest-impact thing a user can do when they hit trouble — most WebRTC regressions are fixed in recent releases.

​
Operating systems

  • Windows 10 and 11
  • macOS recent major versions
  • Linux with a supported browser
  • iOS / iPadOS — Safari is the only engine on iOS (by OS policy); other browsers on iOS use WebKit internally
  • Android — recent versions with a supported browser

​
Hardware

Video and audio require working input devices:
  • A camera (built-in or USB) exposed to the browser
  • A microphone (built-in or USB, or a Bluetooth / wired headset)
  • Speakers or headphones
The browser chooses inputs based on the operating system’s active devices. Users can pick a different input in the pre-join preview or from the in-meeting settings.
Bluetooth headsets add latency and can introduce audio artefacts. When quality matters (sales demos, interviews), wired headsets are cleaner and more predictable.

​
What the browser must support

To join a meeting the browser needs:
  • A secure (HTTPS) page — see Network requirements
  • Permission to use the camera and microphone
  • JavaScript enabled
These requirements are satisfied by default on current releases of all the browsers listed above.

​
In-app webviews

Opening a video link from inside another app’s in-app browser (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, X, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc.) is inconsistent — some webviews strip WebRTC support or block camera permissions. Recommended pattern:
  • Share links that open in the system browser.
  • If a user lands inside an in-app webview and can’t start camera or microphone, ask them to tap the “Open in browser” option that most apps expose in their overflow menu.
