I would just write link or weblink.
More correctly would probably be url or web address, but I think link is better understandable for most people worldwide.

Jitsi link might be a bit missunderstandable.


Check back soon!
People invite each other to Jitsi meetings mostly by sending a link.

1. If you have received such an invite link from a trusted source,

I would replace trusted source with a person you trust.

🤔 Hmm, now that I think about it, it might be good to mention both a person you trust and trust in the server/serverowner.

This way we could leave out Trust in Server below 👇 .

copy it into your browser and press <kbd>Enter</kbd>/<kbd>Return</kbd>.
2. Your browser may first ask you to grant microphone and/or camera access.
If you trust the person who invited you, confirm this access request.

This is a bit tricky 🤔 ...but I would add some more information like:

  1. Microphone and Camera are not strictly necessary (Only allow, if you want others to see and hear you) and can be used seperately (e.g. microphone only).
  2. Trust in server
  3. Trust in other people in the room

Also maybe use the word allow (instead of confirm), as these are the terms used at least in firefox (if i remember correctly).
I think it might be easier for people to understand.

Please refer to the browser's documentation for details (e.g.
[Firefox](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-manage-your-camera-and-microphone-permissions#w_using-prompts-to-allow-or-block-camera-and-microphone-permissions-for-a-site),
[Chrome](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2693767)).
3. Enter a name, which will be visible to other participants in the Jitsi Meeting room.
4. (optional) Adjust the camera and/or microphone settings via the `v` dropdown menu items.
5. Click `Join meeting`.
