Verify the web app

Use the Glow Code Verify browser extension to check that the Glow Meetings web app you're running is the genuine, signed release.

The web app is loaded from our servers each time you open it. Glow Code Verify is a browser extension that checks, independently, that the code your browser runs matches the signed release. It shows a green check when the code is genuine.

Built-in check#

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

Glow Code Verify adds a second, independent check that doesn't rely on the web app itself.

Install Glow Code Verify#

  1. Download Glow Code Verify from the Glow Code Verify page. You can also open it from Settings, under Security & privacy, by selecting Verify next to Verify this web app.
  2. Unzip the file.
  3. Follow the steps for your browser below.

  2. Turn on Developer mode.
  3. Select Load unpacked and choose the unzipped glow-code-verify folder.

Firefox#

  1. Open about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox.

Safari#

Glow Code Verify isn't available for Safari yet. Use the Glow Meetings app for macOS, iPhone or iPad instead.

Check the web app#

Open Glow Meetings. The Glow Code Verify icon in your browser's toolbar shows a green check when the app's code is verified.

If it doesn't show a green check, don't sign in. Try again later or on another network, or use one of the apps.
