NOT reproducible with installation of unofficial (by wg9s) De SeaMonkey 2.53.5 beta 1 pre Mozilla/5.0 (NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0 Build 20200727210001 (Default Classic Theme) on German WIN7 64bit: Link above works fine in normal and also Private Window.

@Reporter:
Also reproducible with a newly created User Profile?

The link at https://meet.google.com works perfectly.
What I meant, when someone invites me to Meet session with a unique link to that very session, that link cannot load.
Try this now: https://meet.google.com/dab-bwrr-xvo

Depending on User Agent String and other preferences you get instant error message or endless "Getting Ready ...", I know

Who is User Agent and what is User Agent String ? How can I help it?

Comment 6

[Rainer Bielefeld]

I use "User Agent Switcher 0.7.3.1-signed.1-signed - converted"
But that will not help to get it running.

Additionally this one might be related to Bug 1624636 and others. Currently most video conferences will not work with SeaMonkey

@romko.b.m:
Interested in doing some tests for Video Conferences with SeaMonkey?

Comment 8

[romko.b.m]

Would be nice

Comment 9

[Rainer Bielefeld]

Any experience with Video conferences in SM? If you are interested we can do some systematic tests with various Video Meeting Systems, starting next week?
For example
Monday 2021-08-23 13:00 UTC? and / or
Tuesday 2021-08-24 17:00 UTC?
We do some tests with some hosted video conference systems, find out which will not crash immediately and then do some ocnference tests. Appropriate place to share our results might be the wiki.

What do you think?

Good. Expecting links from you. Google meet and Microsoft Teams too, I believe.
