> Some of you that connected to the new Jitsi via Chrome 97 had audio issues
> (you couldn't hear the audio, or a variety of other terrible things).
> 
> We have found at least one of the culprits -- there are settings in your
> browser's local storage from the previous version of Jitsi that are wrong
> (such as whether you've given permission to hear audio and old, stale session
> IDs, and configuration values for older versions of Chrome) that need to be
> cleared.
> 
> Clearing local storage for meet.w3c-ccg.org should do it. If it doesn't,
> clearing all site data for meet.w3c-ccg.org should do it.
> 
> We have confirmation that this has fixed the issue for at least Chrome 97 and
> some versions of Firefox. We would be interested to hear if this fix works for
> folks during next weeks calls.
> 
> Never underestimate the damage that a misplaced cookie can create. :)
