meet.lds.org for Linux Users
Posted: Mon Jan 13, 2014 4:40 am
Greetings:
My daughter got a 'new' computer for Christmas, and we were hoping to use it for her online seminary, as it is much more capable than our older Windows computer. The OS installed on the computer is Mint 16 (an Ubuntu variant).
We got everything set up only to discover that meet.lds.org claims that her Browser and/or OS is not currently supported. I did some checking through webex.com (which is the underlying communication software, if I understand correctly) and they do support Linux. (https://support.webex.com/MyAccountWeb/ ... ent=System Under Cisco Webex Meetings)
I tried connecting to her weekly seminary meeting via webex.com, and it says that the meeting number is invalid (I'm guessing because the seminary system is closed off from the 'public' webex stuff?). The meeting number works via the invite that she gets from her seminary leader, but that takes her to the meet.lds.org site, not to the webex site.
So, does anyone know any way to do this? Any chance of getting Linux 'officially' supported? Is there a way to get her logged in via the regular webex sites?
I started playing around with UserAgent Switcher to spoof it into accepting the browser/OS, but have not been successful yet.
She is trying to use Mint 16, Mozilla Firefox 26.
Thanks
