We've switched from zoom to https://team.video https://team.video and have been loving it.
They have a "low bandwidth" mode you can toggle on, that just turns off your outgoing and incoming video streams. I think it still tries to send around screen shares though, for better or worse.
It has made a huge difference for some team members with very challenged Internet connectivity where they can just put themselves in low bandwidth mode and the call carries on.
- waheoo 6y agoThis is why we use it. Slack video chat is fine for most people in the US but having people international causss problems for slower connections. Zoom just works. Also, they actually respond to support requests when there was an issue with their linux build in the arch user repos they went out of their way to debug and resolve the problem. This is soo much better contrasted agaisnt e.g. slacks response to a similar query, paraphrasing: hur just use the web client.
- chiefalchemist 6y agoI looked but didn't see anything. Can you record meetings, and download them to edit, etc.?
- montroser 6y agoYes, you can record meetings and download the recordings. We have started just recording all our meetings so that if someone wasn't able to make it, they can just review at 2x speed later. I looked again and I guess the low bandwidth setting is called "Bandwidth Saver" behind the little gear icon on the left hand side when you're in a call.
