Assuming a fast reliable internet connection, how well does an overclocked raspberry pi 5 perform when video conferencing using popular conferencing applications such as zoom, google meet, ms teams and the like?
- godzillabrennus 2y agoProbably slightly worse than a 10 year old core i7 cpu computer.
- matt-p 2y agoTrue, to some extent this is also an artefact of (comparatively) poor software optimisation for pi. In this case almost certainly zoom and others apps will be using cpu encoding/decoding rather than offloading.
- FrostKiwi 2y agoExacerbated by the Raspberry Pi 5 having lost all Hardware Video Encoding and H.264 Video Decoding. (That logic I don't follow at all)
- callalex 2y agoThe cartel charges pretty high fees for those.
- cameron_b 2y agoZoom in particular will be a browser-only experience as well, since there is not an arm Linux version of the app.
- justin66 2y agoTeams works fine, so I suspect the others do as well.
- bdavbdav 2y agoFor that kind of thing, you’re 100x better off getting an old enterprise uSFF workstation on the cheap. Whenever I can, I reach for a used Dell 5070 or similar if I don’t need GPIO. They eBay for about £40-50, have real NVME, x86, and the pentium ones are pretty powerful.
