VNC doesn’t support audio on the free license and watching the YouTube stream is out of the question as it’s nearly 30 seconds behind real time.</p>\n\n<p>As the computer has a USB web camera and microphone attached I thought of a private LAN based v/c solution. A quick Internet search found a <a href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/gmray4/recommendation_for_free_lanonly_video/\">post on Redit</a> talking about Jitsi.</p>\n\n<p>After installing a Ubunutu 20.04 server VM, I followed the Jitsi <a href=\"https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/devops-guide/devops-guide-quickstart\">Self-Hosting Guide</a> which takes just a few minutes. Since it was a private LAN implementation I skipped the optional FQDN section of the instructions and used the self-signed certificate.</p>\n\n<p>Connecting to the DHCP assigned address via over https brought the expected certificate warnings but I was able to create and join a room. The camera and microphone did not start. Every 30 seconds or so this message appeared about reconnecting:</p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"Jitsi Disconnected\" src=\"https://www.tunbury.org/images/jitsi-disconnected.png\"></p>\n\n<p>The fix to this was to use a host name not an IP address. On Windows machines edit <code>C:\\Windows\\System32\\Drivers\\etc\\hosts</code> and on a Mac edit <code>/etc/hosts</code>. In both cases I added the DHCP issued IP address and hostname of the Ubuntu server:</p>\n\n<div><div><pre><code>192.168.1.76\tjitsi\n</code></pre></div></div>\n\n<p>Connecting to Jitsu using <a href=\"https://jitsi\">https://jitsi</a> and skipping passed the certificate warnings brought me to a working implementation. Certainly impressive and easy to setup!</p>",
