My last job used #GoogleMeet and #Zoom. I wouldn't wish those on anyone either.
Wish my undergraduate studies in #UX and #database design had better prepared me to create a world-conquering team #messaging solution that would put #BigTech out to pasture, but no one was handing out giant bags of money when I earned my diploma. #capitalism
Love how #Android has two separate volume sliders so you can independently adjust media vs. phone calls... and #GoogleMeet (first-party software!) ignores both so it's impossible to change the volume or mute a video call
I am devastated that #Zoom has decided to become an #AIhype company and I’m going to have to go back to using #GoogleMeet. As a #firefox user, Google Meet is horrible software. Roughly 20% failure rate, either audio has issues or video quality collapses even on gigabit wired connections from both parties.
My dream is #Apple decides to finally offer a cross-platform version of #Facetime group calls which remains the best audio and video quality I’ve ever seen in video conferencing. The 32 user limit would sometimes be a problem, but otherwise it’s really stellar software.
If you have a headset that supports spatial audio and you close your eyes, it is like the person is in the room with you. It’s that good.
Why are some people so resistant to even trying non-#bigtech alternatives?
Everyone once in a while I come across someone who refuses to even consider using Meet.Coop (which doesn't require a download or an account) insisting that we use #Zoom , #GoogleMeet or #WhatsApp.
