Is the user experience on zoom that good? To me it’s barely passable because I think the bar is higher in 2020 than it was in 2000 (where getting on the conference was a miracle).
1. Today zoom links load a webpage that hits a local web server which launches the app (after some delay). There has to be a better way. Why do I need an app at all? Yes I know there is a trick to avoid using/installing the app but it’s not full featured.
2. Fans run on high during a simple video conference and my cpu melts during a screen share. Why is GPU acceleration not a thing here?
None of that happens with google meet for example. Most modern CPUs have hardware support for h264/5 encoding decoding. I shouldn’t need to blow my CPU budget to show a video and play some sounds.
