Platform is Android LineageOS with native Jitsi app.
Pressing "Join Meeting" causes the self-view to dim and a spinner to display over the center of the screen.
There is no other information presented to the user. The spinner will probably spin forever.
The correct behavior would be to:
detect the network situation
report it to the user
since it's a captive portal compliant with the standards to publish itself, either:
redirect to the Wifi network / captive portal login page
notify the user of the need to log in to the network with an error
It would be really nice if there would be some network debugging information visible in the app. Like tell me if I have connectivity to the next hop, if I have an IP on the internet or not, if I can reach local DNS, if I can reach 8.8.4.4 style global DNS, etc. In a way that lets me get this information over the phone from a non-technical person that is looking at a screen that I can't see.
