Hi all.
In this new time of video conferencing I have tried Jitsi Meet.
Jitsi is an open source decentralised video conferencing software for the browser or apps. Also it is free and several good people offer their Jitsi Server to the public. However the official one also works ok.
On the PBP you previously needed a Chromium browser oner one of it's siblings to use Jitsi, but just now I noticed that Firefox now recognises the camera as well and it works.
In Firefox when accepting the permissions I have selected the USB Camera from the list, not the pre-selected one.
If you have chosen a camera from the list that does not work, close the meeting and reopen it, you will be asked for permissions again and then you can choose the USB Camera. If you have saved the permissions you need to delete the permission for the camera in the preferences first.
The CPU load is quite high for both browsers though, but it works. Sometimes there are hick-ups, but overall it works.
How is your experience ?
