Frequently asked questions

Everything people ask before their first online video meeting on Join Orbi.

Is Join Orbi free?

Yes. You can start an instant video meeting for free and guests join from the link without creating an account. A free account adds a dashboard with scheduled meetings, a permanent room link, recordings and chat history.

Do my guests need to download anything or create an account?

No. Join Orbi runs in the browser on phones, tablets and computers. Guests open the link, allow the camera and microphone, and they are in.

How many people can join a meeting?

Join Orbi runs on its own media server, so rooms are not limited to a handful of participants. For large sessions use broadcast mode, where the host presents and attendees raise a hand to speak.

Can I record a meeting?

Yes. You can record the meeting or your screen and download the recording when the session ends.

Can I share my screen?

Yes. Share your whole screen, a window or a single browser tab in full HD, with audio. On a phone you can switch between the front and back camera instead.

Is the meeting private and secure?

Connections are encrypted in transit. Hosts can enable a waiting room to admit guests one by one, lock the room, or protect it with a password.

Which devices and browsers are supported?

iPhone, Android, iPad, Windows, Mac and Linux, in current versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox.

Can I schedule a meeting for a specific time?

Yes, with a free account. Scheduled meetings have a fixed start time and duration, show a countdown timer, and can end automatically.

Can I add a video call button to my own website?

Yes. From the dashboard you get a small script that adds a "Start video chat" button to any page, showing online or offline status and connecting visitors to you.

What if my camera or microphone does not work?

Check that the browser has permission to use the camera and microphone, close other apps using them, and pick the correct device in the green room before joining. Reloading the page usually resolves a stuck permission prompt.
