is this worse or better than zoom?
- edoceo 7y agoDifferent. This is a codec and protocol. Zoom is an app.
- ec109685 7y agoI think they mean is this better than what Zoom does.
- keithwinstein 7y agoWell, we've never installed a rootkit on anybody's computer, so at least we've got that going for us... More to the point, we don't have an empirical end-to-end measurement of Zoom the way we do for Skype, FaceTime, Google Hangouts, and WebRTC-in-Chrome (with and without VP9-SVC). But my understanding is that Zoom is architected similarly to those systems and can be expected to behave within the same envelope. Would need to measure it to know for sure. On the other hand, Zoom is an actual product with users, and Salsify is a research prototype that doesn't even have audio, much less users. So hard to compare outside the narrow technical questions of video quality and latency over imperfect networks.
