For IT: browsers, domains, camera and screen sharing

What your IT needs to allow for GIRI: current browsers, reachable domains, e-mail senders, camera, screen sharing and installing it as an app.

For: ITUpdated 14 October 2026 · GIRI 12.80.1

The short answerGIRI is a web app. It needs a current browser, access to go.ar-giri.de and to the data address at Supabase, two allowed e-mail senders, and camera and screen sharing for recording.

You do not install anything on your servers. The addresses below apply to GIRI Online. For GIRI Starter and GIRI Professional, the details are in the contract or available on request from giri@ar-giri.de.

Browsers

Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox. On phones, Safari on the iPhone and Chrome on Android are enough.
Record screen only works on a PC. The small control window for it is available in Chrome and Edge.
GIRI converts videos in the browser during import (WebCodecs). If the browser lacks this, GIRI only accepts videos up to 80 MB.
Service workers and site storage must be allowed. That is where the sign-in and the offline copies of instructions are kept. If the browser deletes site data when it closes, everyone has to sign in again each time.

Addresses

All connections are encrypted and run over port 443.

Address	What for
https://go.ar-giri.de	The app, links and QR codes
https://hcomtmogkuxxchrnticq.supabase.co, also via WebSocket (wss://)	Data, photos and videos, sign-in, real-time updates
accounts.google.com	Only for signing in with Google

Workers at the workstation need access to the first two addresses. Without a connection, only instructions saved on the device will open, see Using instructions without a connection.

E-mail senders

Sign-in codes come from giri-go@ar-giri.de.
All other e-mails come from giri@ar-giri.de, sender name GIRI: invitations, notifications about new feedback and subscription e-mails.

Allow both senders. The code e-mail contains a code to type in, not a one-time link that a link scanner could use up. If the code does not arrive, see The sign-in code does not arrive.

Camera

GIRI needs the camera to record steps, to scan the QR code when signing in on a phone, and for Train a group.
The browser asks once for permission for go.ar-giri.de. GIRI does not need a microphone; videos have no sound.
In managed Chrome and Edge installations, this is controlled by the VideoCaptureAllowed and VideoCaptureAllowedUrls policies.

For Record screen on a PC, the browser has to allow screen sharing.

In Chrome and Edge, this is controlled by the ScreenCaptureAllowed policy. To allow GIRI only: ScreenCaptureAllowedByOrigins = https://go.ar-giri.de.
On Windows, the registry entry is HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Google\Chrome\ScreenCaptureAllowedByOrigins\1 or HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\ScreenCaptureAllowedByOrigins\1.
You can check it under chrome://policy or edge://policy.
On a Mac, the browser needs permission under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen & System Audio Recording.
If GIRI is embedded in another page that does not allow screen sharing, recording does not work. Open GIRI in its own tab instead.

If the browser blocks screen sharing, GIRI shows a note with Copy text for IT. More in Camera or screen recording is blocked.

Installing as an app

GIRI can be installed as an app straight from the browser; there is no need to distribute it through device stores. On a PC use the install icon in the address bar of Chrome or Edge, on an iPhone use the Share icon in Safari and Add to Home Screen, and on Android use the Chrome menu. On an iPhone this is especially worthwhile: without installation, iOS deletes the storage after 7 days without use. Updates arrive by themselves, and GIRI then shows New version … available – load now. More in Install GIRI as an app.
