Zoom has been available for Linux for so long. It works fine but browser based solutions are still better

In reply to Francis. Well... Webex, Gotomeeting and even the unknown R-HUB all use WebRTC.

Of course, Zoom has better video quality as compared to webRTC. Other alternatives which have better video quality are: Webex, Gotomeeting, R-HUB HD video conferencing servers etc.

Rajesh,

From the get go, you aren’t comparing apples to apples.

I am assuming you’re talking about optimizing an on premise Jitsi installation versus using Zoom. You’ll need to work on getting your machines to have proper network (not easy) and optimize Jitsi to work well in the scale needed (not easy either).

Tsahi,
I have seen your last few comments on zoom vs WebRTC and you have given some answers. We find zoom performance better that jitsi solution in all cases especially when broadband connection was poor.
Can you recommend any scenarios where jitsi would do better than zoom ?
Can our customers adopt any specific browser or specifications of personal computer for enhanced performance that is comparable to zoom?
Customer has your product locally hosted on inhouse servers because customer cannot work on cloud.

Hard to say.

There are two aspects affecting quality in WebRTC:

1. The browser implementation (mainly Google)
2. The vendor’s infrastructure and SFU implementation (this one’s on Jitsi)

I am assuming that Zoom would be better than Jitsi in some scenarios and worse in others.

We tried Jitsi meet for last 5 to 6 days with 20 participant and it work good but video and audio flickers frequently, Yesterday we have tested same setup with zoom and it was much more stable. Audio and video did not flickered even some participant were using mobile application.Any Specific reason ?

In reply to Mark Levy. This post is advertising a paid service (of which there are dozens with better value and/or better security.) Even if that were not the case, there is still no need for "MIVNET" when you have free services like Jitsi Meet, Jami, Signal, Wire, and Riot.

In reply to muft. Same as everyone else - throwing more machines at the problem.

how zoom is able to handle so much load/volume in this corona virus situation. They are able to scale phenomenally. how?
