+====== E-Learning ======

+=== Full setup ===
+Video: [[https://lbry.tv/discordquickstart:4|Quick start]]
+  - Download [[https://discordapp.com/download|here]] and **install**. The app is available on all major desktop and mobile operating systems.
+  - Set up an **account** and verify it with your email address.
+  - Enter server via the **invite link** provided by your instructor.
+  - (optional) Test and adjust your microphone and webcam in the settings.((Note that neither a webcam nor a microphone are necessary in order to join sessions. However, you should wear earphones to avoid echoes and feedback noise.))
+  - Join the correct voice channel or stream
+[[https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/|Further Information]]
+You can adjust your nickname after you registered. We recommend picking a nickname of your choice to register and a clearly identifiable one inside the server. You are free to use a pseudonym, but in that case you might want to let your instructor know about it.
+=== Minimal setup ===
+If you're concerned with internet privacy and data security, or if you are not on your usual computer, you can use Discord without installing the software and/or without registering. Just join from within your web browser and decline all prompts that ask you to register or download.
+**Note**: The usability in some browsers is restricted.((07-04-20: tested on latest Windows 10 and Linux releases))
+  * Chromium-based webbrowsers((Google Chrome, Brave, Chromium, Vivaldi, Opera)) with the exception of Microsoft Edge work without restrictions.
+  * Firefox and Edge users cannot join a livestream. The same is true for any mobile browser.
+  * Browsers also vary with respect to microphone and video permissions. You might not be prompted and have to manually activate your microphone and/or webcam in the browser settings.
+===== Cisco Webex =====
+Cisco Webex is currently the default platform for audio/video conferencing used by the Freie Universität. See [[https://wikis.fu-berlin.de/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1037667239|here]] for more information (in German).
