JackTrip's studio sessions support Jamulus!
JackTrip's studios support connections via Jamulus clients. Everyone in your group can connect and use Jamulus exclusively. Or, some people can connect using JackTrip's Desktop App, others using Jamulus, and others using their web browser (WebRTC). Feel free to mix and match and use whatever works best for you. Our studios mix all the audio together so that everyone can hear one another!
Let JackTrip Labs host everything for you at any one of over 100 locations worldwide (and always growing), or use your own hardware to manage a studio server anywhere you like. Sign up for free (no credit card required, no personal information required) to host as many sessions as you like for up to 50 minutes at a time.

How Do I Make Sure My Studio Supports This?
To make sure that your studio session will work with Jamulus clients, go to the "Settings" tab of your studio dashboard and find the "Advanced Audio Settings" section. Ensure that your "Sample Rate" is set to "48khz" (required by Jamulus), and your "Studio Type" is set to "JackTrip+Jamulus". These are the default settings for all studios, so you likely do not have to change anything!
How Do I Connect Jamulus to My Studio Session?
First, you need to have an active studio session. Clicking on the "Join" button in JackTrip's interface will always start a new active session for you, if you don't have one already. You can also start a new session by clicking the Play button under "Session Status" in your studio dashboard.
When you have an active session, you'll see a "Details" button. Click that to display the IP address ("Hostname") and other details for your session.
Copy and paste the IP address into your Jamulus client and connect. That's all there is to it.
Note that JackTrip sessions end automatically after there is no audio detected for more than 5 minutes. You can also end a session early by clicking on the Stop button. We will always assign a random IP address to each studio session.
