🇩🇪 16. Mai 2025 🗓 Treffen in Hamburg für alle Fairphoner*innen

[Ingo]

Ich hatte völlig vergessen, beim letzten Mal hier eine kurze Zusammenfassung zu posten. An anderer Stelle wurde nach Feedback zur verwendeten Technologie (Jitsi) gefragt, das muss dann als Zusammenfassung reichen, sorry.

@Ingo

I’d say the feedback is a little mixed.

I’d say everyone was happy about the ease of use. In the end we were 6 people.
Not sure if we hit the restrictions of the software/hosting instance but here and there the camera feeds froze and one had to reload the page (essentially leaving and rejoining the meeting). Audio never dropped for all, though. Of course there were a few technical problems for each of the participants individually. Like some strange background noise, glitches probably due to not enough bandwidth.
Screen sharing worked, too. And I found a nice feature I wasn’t aware of beforehand: you can control the volume level of each participant individually.
And generally it seems to be a good idea to use a headset to avoid echos (probably more effects people with laptops compared to smartphones).

I think nobody used Chrome which IIRC the makers of Jitsi recommend for best experience. Works well enough in Firefox, too.
