Update: they have a very active github for the desktop app, and they had a fix almost immediately. There are webAPI calls that can be appended to the end of the meeting link before starting. If your link for example is "https://meet.jit.si/myLesson" you can append the following string: #config.disableAP=true&config.disableAEC=true&config.disableNS=true&config.disableAGC=true&config.disableHPF=true&config.stereo=true

making it https://meet.jit.si/myLesson#config.disableAP=true&config.disableAEC=true&config.disableNS=true&config.disableAGC=true&config.disableHPF=true&config.stereo=true`

and this will disable all the audio processing that could harm the meeting. You will probably want headphones though as it will cause a lot of echoes if it can hear anything from the meeting.

Figured I'd leave this here in case anyone else was looking for a similar solution.

EDIT: Lemmy keeps adding "amp;" after each & symbol. Those are incorrect but so far I'm failing to get the thing to stop doing it every time I hit post. Those should be removed for a working link. Try this link to see how it should look.

That is a good idea I’ll hunt around for where to request it later today!

Yeah and that’s my problem I only need one 2 person conference a week and webex is like using a nuclear bomb to go fishing price wise

I looked at them too but couldn’t find an obvious way to get it from Cisco without buying a license big enough to share with everyone I know lol

Do you know if they support disabling things like auto-equalization of audio or changing the bitrate? I use zoom for music lessons because they’re the only one I’ve ever found that will let me do that, which sucks because zoom really isn’t that great of an app

Not sure about a solution for parsec but have you looked at onlyoffice? It’s been a drop in replacement for office for me and seems to do a pretty good job

I keep a Chromebook for stuff around the house. 90+ percent of normal usage these days is the web anyhow. The Linux vm with ssh and remmina installed gets me server maintenance and Remote Desktop to my server without paying more than $200 for the laptop. You can’t beat the value of these things if you don’t need to compile/edit videos or something

Lag wasn’t terrible when I did it with one speaker, I’ll freely admit I have not tried it as a whole house setup but I’ve seen guides out there from people who have

Sonos is probably the easiest one as others have mentioned. A bunch of raspberry pi’s with pulseaudio configured for remote streaming from a master audio source could also work for playing the same song in multiple locations if you want a more diy approach

It works with the valve index and I think the vice pro. I have the cosmos which doesn’t work… point being google your headset there will probably be some detailed advice for it!

I looked at those a few years back but never could figure out how to have an actual phone number instead of just internal sip lines. Where would one get an actual phone # from on those?

I’ve only tried it with music and iptv channels, both of which work well and free dvr is a large plus
