This update comes with some caveats: the Windows and macOS releases are unsigned, so auto-update may not work.

Windows

A warning will show up mentioning the app is unsigned upon first install. This is expected.

macOS

On macOS Catalina a warning will be displayed on first install. The app won't open unless "open" is pressed. This dialog is only shown once.

GNU/Linux

There is a known issue which prevents the app from starting on some Linux distributions: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/issues/231

The workaround for now is to launch the app like so ./jitsi-meet-x86_64.AppImage --no-sandbox
