It uses notoriously lightweight open source compression, including CELT, Speex, and Opus, and has a text-chat client built in. Since 2005, the Mumble project has provided easy voice chat over a cross-platform application. A voice chat can simplify the setup required for a meeting, and it can conserve bandwidth for helpful applications like Drawpile. For business meetings, the same can be true. Switching to voice-only leaves more bandwidth for more call participants and for running map software. What seems like it should be a simple phone call becomes a small-scale television production.įor my online D&D games, I find that video adds an overhead with no benefit. You have to dress for the occasion, you have to tidy up your backdrop, you have to clear your "set" so that there aren't children or cats running through your shot, and so on. It also requires a greater degree of preparation.
However, the cost of video is that it requires a lot more bandwidth than a voice call. There's a human connection established through a video call that doesn't quite happen with text or even voice chats. Dick novels, the human face conveys a lot of information that the human voice doesn't. Just as advertised by Star Trek and countless Philip K. For science fiction fans, it feels like video chat was a long time coming, but now it's safe to say that a video call is indeed a great way to communicate remotely.
