I want to have a meeting tomorrow but need to send details today

[camcdevitt]

I regularly participate in a jitsi meeting and it is awesome. I just click the link that my friend sent and it always work.
Now I want to use it myself and I just can’t figure out what to do. The website only has one option Start and Join a Meeting for free. But I don’t want to start it now, I want it to be tomorrow. But I want to send the link today.
Please help. This is an awesome meeting, but the documentation on how to use it seems to be non-existant! Thanks. BTW I do promise that once I figure it out, I will write it up for others.

Replace “YOUR_MEETING_NAME” with any combination of letters and numbers of your choice. Just make sure the meeting name you choose is really unique such that it’s not easy to guess. You can then send this link to any of the intended participants.

Here’s a dated guide on how to use Jitsi. It’s old and there are many new features that have been added since it was written, but the baseline operation is still mostly the same:

Comprehensive Jitsi User Guide

This guide is meant to help in both instances. It’s very hard to compress all the functionality of Jitsi in a short guide, so this might be a bit longer than a few lines and even then, it won’t cover every single thing. But hopefully, it gives enough information to help those who may find themselves needing help. Hosting a Jitsi…
