I followed the setup in the screenshot below - but, I am getting a blank Join page with a circle that turns on the top right corner; not sure how to setup the Desktop app.

Please, I would enjoy any advice you could provide for me; thank you.

any news on fixing this issue?

Facing the same issue as well.

Hi. Very sorry for the super late reply. Is that screenshot on the website or in the desktop app itself?

rp1231 commented 3 years ago

I'm pretty sure that it is a screenshot of the desktop app itself as I have been facing the same issue. My desktop app looks the same but has a white background instead of the grey background.

joaomgcd commented 3 years ago

Thanks. Can you please try right-clicking the app and see if the console shows any errors?

rp1231 commented 3 years ago

I just installed the latest version that you released on github.

1)I installed the desktop app.

2)The app opened and opened a browser window.

3)I got a message asking me if I wanted to register my browser as a device. I clicked yes.

4)Got this error on the browser window: (Even in the previous release I was able to connect sometimes and sometimes not) brave_bddgmZKsCk

5)Screenshot of the console with the error: Join_Desktop_1STQ6wTpJt

Thank you! Just one more info, can you please do right-click > inspect on the web page (not the app itself) and then check the console there to see what error it's showing in the log? Thanks again!

Here you go!

Thank you! Seems like your browser is blocking connections to localhost! Do you maybe use adblock or something similar that would do this?

rp1231 commented 3 years ago

Ahh yes! I am using brave browser which blocks certain things by default. It's working now after I disabled the shields for the site. Thanks

joaomgcd commented 3 years ago

Great! :) I've added the message about adblockers for the next release! Thanks!
