Rumi supports the most up-to-date browsers for viewing sessions. If you wish to host a session or chat with a host, we recommend the following:

• Desktop: For best results, use Edge or Chrome.
• Mobile: When on the go, we recommend using the Rumi iOS or Android app, available in the AppStore or Playstore.

<aside> 📢 With all browsers and devices, you’ll be asked to give permission for Rumi to access to microphone and webcam. This permission is required when hosting or attending Rumi meetings.

When screen-sharing - you will need to give additional permission for your browser to share your screen on Rumi.

Known issues:

We understand that some users prefer to use their own choice of browsers. However, there are known issues with certain browsers. Here is a list of current known issues.

Firefox

Multiple permission requests

Firefox's management of permissions may result in users being prompted to authorize multiple permission requests in order to enable the microphone, webcam, and screen-sharing functionality. We’ve also seen videos rotating to the side in Firefox.

Brave

Default permissions blocked

When using the Brave browser, Butter's requests for microphone, webcam, and screen sharing permissions are pre-emptively blocked. Users may need to manually adjust their browser settings to enable these permissions.

Safari

Muted microphone and screen-sharing permissions
