For those that haven't tried Jitsi - my friends and I catch up on it almost daily. It is awesome.
The phone app is great too. You can setup a room that people can jump in and out of, which is pretty convenient.
If you're looking for that office feel for your small team, then Jitsi might be worth a shot.
And, I think you can host your own server if you'd like to!
- thechao 6y agoHave you used Lifesize? I'm not fond of either Hangouts or Zoom.
- youeseh 6y agoI have not tried Lifesize.
- vz8 6y agoWe've tried Jitsi multiple times (as recently as a month ago) and the experience has been uniformly bad at anything beyond a handful of people. When we scaled to > 20 it was completely unusable (feedback / echos, delays, stuttering, dropouts, you name it).
- boudin 6y agoWas it with a self-hosted version or the meet.jit.si public instance? Around 20 we had the same problem on the public instances but I wonder how much is server side or limitation on the client side. It also definitely worked better in Chrome, it seems that the Firefox situation is much better now though. On Safari echo cancellation was just not working.
- nessunodoro 6y agoWere you self-hosting, or using the free service? If self-hosting, I'm curious what resources you were devoting to your VPS, and which hosting provider?
- freeone3000 6y agoJitsi makes one of my friend's MacBooks fan too loud so we can't use it.
- choward 6y agoI know it's not ideal and not everyone has one, but couldn't your friend wear a headset so the microphone isn't right next to the fans?
- reaperducer 6y agoThe problem isn't the user, it's the software. I'm no Zoom fan, but in the Zoom meeting I had this morning with 38 people my 2015 MacBook Pro's processor peaked at 11%. Zoom knows how to do something better than the other companies. They really need to catch up.
- sukilot 6y agoWould you say the same if the user was compiling software or rendering video?if your computer fan is interfering with audio, that's an audio setup problem not a software problem. Wasting CPU/heat is a different problem.
- cwhiz 6y agoBuy new headset vs install other free software.
- freeone3000 6y agoOh, no! She just doesn't use any software that makes the fan come on. Zoom doesn't, teams doesn't, jitsi somehow does.
- youeseh 6y agoPerhaps your friend would benefit from the phone app. I use it on an old iPhone SE and it works for hours without issue.
