Yes! It feels like I try a new video conferencing system every week, never to see any improvement. I currently pay something like £20 per month for WebEx because it's marginally better than Skype (particularly with more than three people, at which point in my experience Skype becomes unusable).
I tried a new one last week (for an introductory call with a new client) - Zoom.us - and it was absolutely agonising: I had to install some junky software on my Mac only to end up with a laggy video connection with appalling sound quality. In the end I made an international phone call to the guy and we both breathed a sigh of relief because we could actually relax and have a conversation.
This is not how things should be in 2017.
- GFischer 10y agoApple is the worst offender by being the only major vendor not to support WebRTC natively (and I guess that's why Zoom.us went with their own non-native solution). I know people prefer Macs, but they're enabling this behavior by Apple :( (although they do seem to be working on this - https://sixcolors.com/link/2017/01/safari-to-gain-real-time-communication-features/ https://sixcolors.com/link/2017/01/safari-to-gain-real-time-... )
