Browser support

What the Glow Meetings web app needs to run, what differs between browsers, and when to use the apps or Glow Code Verify instead.

The Glow Meetings web app works in current versions of modern browsers — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari and other Chromium browsers. There's nothing to install: open Glow Meetings and sign in, or join a meeting straight from an invite link.

What the web app needs#

  • JavaScript turned on — the whole app runs in your browser.
  • Cookies and site data allowed — needed to stay signed in. See Sign in.
  • Camera and microphone permission — needed for calls. You can still join without them to watch and listen. See Camera and microphone problems.
  • A reasonably current version — an old browser may be missing pieces the app needs. Update it and reload.

What differs between browsers#

  • Sharing computer sound — Chrome and Edge can include the sound playing on your computer when you share a screen or window. In Safari and Firefox, sharing is video only.
  • Choosing a speaker — some browsers, including Safari and Firefox, can't route meeting sound to a picked speaker; it plays through your default output instead. You'll see "Speakers can't be picked in this browser."
  • Glow Code Verify — the extension that checks the web app's code works in Chromium browsers and Firefox, but not in Safari. See Verify the web app.

"Couldn't verify this app's integrity"#

The web app checks its own code against a signed release list before it runs. If the code doesn't match, it refuses to load and shows this page — that protects your account on networks you don't fully trust. Trying again on a different network often resolves it.

Keep it updated#

The web app tells you when a new version is ready — select Reload to use it. If you see Update required, your version can no longer join meetings; reload to get the current one.

When to use the apps instead#

For maximum security, use the Glow Meetings apps for Windows, macOS, iPhone, iPad or Android — they're signed packages installed on your device, not code served on each visit. They also add extras like a mini window and notifications. See Apps and platforms and the download page.

On a phone or tablet, invite links can open the installed app — look for Open in the Glow Meetings app on the invite page.
