You get a new flag to control whether meet
includes a secure random portion in the URL, for situations where you want to accept more risk:
$ meet --insecure usual hangout
https://meet.jit.si/UsualHangout
$ meet usual hangout
https://meet.jit.si/pgPcw9/UsualHangout
$ meet --init
Base url (meet.jit.si):
Add random letters to URL for security? (Y/n): n
π wrote config to /home/user/.config/meet/settings.yml
$ meet usual hangout
https://meet.jit.si/UsualHangout
$ meet --secure secret hangout
https://meet.jit.si/a18h2o/SecretHangout
Our secure random string generation is also upgraded from base64 to base58. This provides superior usability by removing easily-confused characters like I
vs l
, 0
vs O
. The result is still a secure random string just like before, but now it's easier to type in, especially on mobile.
Awkward characters like /
, #
, and ?
in titles would previously create invalid URLs. Now they're replaced with .
instead.
