MELD Jam needs your microphone
The browser did not allow it, so nobody on the other end would hear you.
Click the lock or the crossed-out microphone in the address bar, set Microphone to Allow, then try again. On a phone it is under the browser’s site settings.

Quiet right now? It is at its best arranged with a friend rather than walked into cold — send them a link and it opens straight into your room.

MELD Jam
BetaTwo musicians, connected directly. Audio wins the link.
—ms — too far to play in time
The sound takes too long to get between you. You can talk, but you will not be able to keep time together.
A delay jam: you each hear the other one bar late, exactly on the beat. It is how people have jammed across oceans since 2005.
Your partner wants to play a delay jam
You will hear each other one bar late, exactly on the beat, at 100 BPM. Your live sound is muted while it runs.
Your partner wants to record a session take
Each of you records your OWN side, in full quality, in your own browser. When it ends, your recording goes straight to their browser as a separate track — not to MELD, not to anyone else. Either of you can stop it at any time.

Set your level first
Two short steps. First a moment of quiet so it can hear your room, then play as loud as you are going to play. It sets how loud you go out, so the other person hears you the way you hear yourself.
Session
recording your microphone only
They are asking to post this jam publicly on MELD.
Time’s up
That was your three minutes. Jams are capped so the room keeps turning over.
