[Question] What is the maximum number of participants in a Jami audio/video group call?
Based on the multi-platform jami-client-qt:
- What is the maximum number of participants in an audio/video group call with only 1 or 2 have audio and video and all the other participants have both their audio and video muted?
Use case: one audio/video feed is the teacher who is presenting and another audio/video feed is a student who has raised their hand to talk. All the other participants are students whose microphone and camera are muted.
- What is the maximum number of participants in an audio/video group call with every participants audio and video enabled?
Use cases:
- Interviews (parent/teacher/student, job)
- Meetings (job, AGM, committee)
- Discussing customer requirements for Jami software development
-
Do the devices in the group call share the load of the group call to enable the number of participants in an audio/video group call to scale? If not, is it planned? If it is planned, is there a time frame for when this will happen?
-
Would Video Split also help with increasing the maximum number of participants like Jitsi Videobridge shown below?
Jitsi Videobridge is an XMPP server component that allows for multiuser video communication. Unlike the expensive dedicated hardware videobridges, Jitsi Videobridge does not mix the video channels into a composite video stream, but only relays the received video channels to all call participants. Therefore, while it does need to run on a server with good network bandwidth, CPU horsepower is not that critical for performance.
- Have seen a Google Meet in action where there was 100 participants (but requires a Google subscription).
- Linphone will enable up to 50 participants in December 2021 (but requires a server).
Jami is the solution to replace both Google Meet and Linphone as Jami enables audio/video group calls:
a) without relying on a third-party provider (no subscription required);
b) without needing to build anything (no server required). No server to install, no server to host, no server to maintain; and
c) with very convenient Jami one-click install file for each platform (easy for participants to join).
May many people Donate to Savoir-faire Linux inc. to help with Jami development.
Thank you
