Today in #VideoConferencing woes: People go into a Zoom Room then connect from their laptops because they haven't been shown how to use the Zoom Room :/
Training is so so important to a good videoconference experience!
@milan How satisfied are you, by now, with #OpenTalk? Do you see yourself using it as a replacement for the "big" #VideoConferencing "solutions"?

Putting on 'holding music/a holding slide' in the first five minutes at the beginning of a Zoom/Teams call is a good idea... stops people feeling awkward staring at each other waiting for the meeting to start.

Redenen waarom videoconferencing minder populair is geworden
Volgens Rob Enderle ervaren leveranciers van tools voor videoconferencing zoals Zoom een sterke afname in gebruik. Deels is dit te verklaren vanwege het einde van de COVID-19 pandemie. Maar ook vanwege een aantal aloude problemen die belemmeren dat deze technologie het volle potentieel kan bereiken. https://www.te-learning.nl/blog/redenen-waarom-videoconferencing-minder-populair-is-geworden/
#synchroononline #videoconferencing #kritiek #onderwijs #edutoot
I have a minor gripe with modern video apps (#videoblogging, #videoconferencing, #videochat… basically every app where the user has a camera pointed at themselves, and the app renders a preview of the camera's perspective).
I've been using #webcams since the 640x480 days, and the early implementations were all set up very intuitively. The preview would always show a #MirrorImage of the camera's input, while the actual video, whether it was recorded, broadcast, or whatever, was left unmodified. This was great!
But sometime in the last decade or so, all the video apps started doing this annoying thing where they give the user an option to toggle the #mirroring effect, but that's exactly the problem – they treat it like any other effect! When you turn mirroring on, it's on for both your own preview AND for the actual video, and vice versa.
Why on earth did they do this? When I'm on a video call, I want my preview to be mirrored, but I want everyone else to see the unmodified video! 🤬

An interesting data privacy point that companies might need to start thinking about: reflections when wearing glasses for videoconference calls.
E.g., if you have a spreadsheet with confidential information taking up half of your screen, and a video conference call on the other half, and you are wearing glasses... there probably is a chance of data breach (a risk that will increase as technology/resolution gets better)

*nodds in agreement*
Personally, I only use #FLOSS for comms and that saved me from all the #junk, #Govware and #Spam spread through shitty #SingleVendor / #SingleProvider messengers.
In fact, I only use:
- #XMPP for 1:1 chats_
- #IRC for #public group chats
- #Zulip for private group & work chats
- #JitsiMeet & #WebCall for #Videoconferencing & #ConferenceCalling
- #Linphone for #SIP / #VoIP,
- #GnuPG-encrypted #eMail &
- #Nextcloud for File Sync & Document sharing.

Just stumbled across jami (https://jami.net/).
Anyone used it already?
What was your experience?
Can it replace jitsi? (Esp. in big conferences?)
Dear fellow Mastonauts, 2 years ago, @gael launched a #deGoogled version of #jitsi , to guarantee the privacy of our videoconferencing [here: https://gaelduval.com/videoconferencing-with-privacy/]
It's now unavailable. Would any of us know if there's currently an equivalent to that service, or if we can find its script to install it ourselves?

What hardware are you all recommending when a client asks your for a "cover-all-bases" #VideoConferencing solution for a meeting room?
For example: webcam, microphone, speaker solutions which are compatible with most services (probably via a PC) and work well covering a medium sized meeting room with 6-8 people in it.

Just had a second go at using video chat with Delta Chat contact. Now that I have Jitsi Meet integration set up on my DC, I was able to send a contact a video chat invite. Their DC app notified them that they needed to install the JM app, walked them through that, set up the integration, and connected them to the meeting I'd launched.

Since nearly half of all carbon emissions in video conferencing happen on the network, self-hosting a video conferencing server like BBB as close to the users as possible can have a significant reduction in emissions.
