I agree with Nathe on this matter. It may seem like a small thing but many people are not technical minded enough to figure it out. Please trust me on that. Because some of the settings are hidden until you mouse over. So they give up and silently leave. Rather than ask questions.

(In some scenarios, they can hear others talking but they don't realize their own microphone is OFF.)

How might this default setting be changed? So that the default for audio and video is ON!

And Nathe, what has been your experience with the iPad and iPhone "desktop website"? Do you prefer it over the external Jitsi app?

Thank you!
