Their video offering is laughably bad but I'd bet that isn't because of electron. Otherwise I'm surprised people hate the electron app so much, on my 2014 mbp it works just fine.
- filoleg 8y agoAgreed. To support that point, Discord's videocall functionality is probably the best I've seen, despite using electron as well.

- phyzome 8y agoCounterpoint: I've found it to work better than Google Meet. But maybe that's not saying much. (Is there any video conferencing software that doesn't suck in some way?)
- valeg 8y agoJitsi Meet just works for me: https://meet.jit.si/ https://meet.jit.si/
- theWheez 8y agoZoom has been my best experience. Plenty of features, smooth video for the most part. Enough that I use it exclusively for business at this point.

- lordnacho 8y agoI don't know about "just fine". I think its benefits outweigh its problems. I need to stay in touch with my team, and I need those integrations. But even simple stuff like "send when internet connection is back" isn't there, like what WhatsApp has. It also doesn't load very fast for something that you'd think is mostly text. Change teams and you see the spinner a lot. Also when you've come back to WiFi it seems to take ages to get your updates. A lot of these things seem to be "fixed" by killing the app and restarting, which is something of a smell. Also seems to use a lot of memory. Not a huge problem on my machine, but I like elegance.
