Also I want to test at various levels of use. Start with 5 people, then try 10+ before trying a full meeting.
I'll be in that. I've retired, so time can be a problem.
What times of the day are best for you? I was thinking that for test purposes we could start with small informal chats, like 6PM every day for 20 mins (or however long people feel like it).
I'm part of 2 jitsi meets, and have had mixed success. I set up a group on the public server. Generally 5 or 6 of us get 2 hours with few dramas. We've learnt that if you get a problem, just hang up and rejoin the meeting. Takes a minute or so, if you keep the link handy.
The Jitsi meets I've been in haven't had much problems. I think I've got disconnected once out of about 5 and I'm not sure if that was an issue at my end.
The other has been hosted on a private server and I can only get chats - no audio nor video, using either firefox or chromium. Last meeting was on the public server, and all went well. From memory there were 9 of us.
I've got video working on the Jitsi instance I set up for LUV. I'll blog about how I did it soon. As an aside the Android app refuses to connect with an error that's not at all informative if the SSL certificate doesn't have enough of the chain while with the same key configuration Chrome etc work fine.
The last LUV meeting I went to was at Uni Melb. There must have been 100 people in the lecture theatre. Yes easily 10 years ago. It's a 90Km trip, a good 90 mins by the time the tram crawls up Collins St then Swanston St. And trains home were an hour apart in those days.
In the future the way things run will change due to the Pandemic. Meetings that aren't live streamed will become the unusual case. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
