well, Meet works in Firefox, just... not as well. (Firefox doesn't
implement peer-to-peer WebRTC as well.)

but yes, just like Jitsi Meet, per their FAQ
(https://wiki.sangoma.com/display/MEET/Meet+FAQ):


Do I need special software to run Sangoma Meet?

On Desktop

    Sangoma Meet will run inside your browser.
    For the best experience ***we recommend using Google Chrome.***
    Other supported browsers: Microsoft Edge, Firefox.


note that Chromium should work just as well if you'd prefer a
less-Googled Chrome.
