Update: they have a very active github for the desktop app, and they had a fix almost immediately. There are webAPI calls that can be appended to the end of the meeting link before starting. If your link for example is "https://meet.jit.si/myLesson" you can append the following string: #config.disableAP=true&config.disableAEC=true&config.disableNS=true&config.disableAGC=true&config.disableHPF=true&config.stereo=true

making it https://meet.jit.si/myLesson#config.disableAP=true&config.disableAEC=true&config.disableNS=true&config.disableAGC=true&config.disableHPF=true&config.stereo=true`

and this will disable all the audio processing that could harm the meeting. You will probably want headphones though as it will cause a lot of echoes if it can hear anything from the meeting.

Figured I'd leave this here in case anyone else was looking for a similar solution.

EDIT: Lemmy keeps adding "amp;" after each & symbol. Those are incorrect but so far I'm failing to get the thing to stop doing it every time I hit post. Those should be removed for a working link. Try this link to see how it should look.
