2. Audio quality problems

3. Reducing echo
Echo makes understanding more
difficult and causes video-
conference fatigue

4. Everyone their own computer
Every participant in a
video conference needs
their own computer

5. Everyone their headset
Everyone needs a
headset with
microphone

6. Bluetooth earbuds are fine

reduce echo as well

7. No sharing
Avoid sharing the same
webcam, screen and
microphone, it’s terrible
for echo

8. Check your microphone
Make it sure that your
computer is using the
headset’s microphone,
not any built-in one.

9. Choose a quiet enviroment
Prefer a noiseless,
quiet environment

10. Video quality problems

11. Webcam resolution
Webcams should have
a minimum resolution
of 720p (1280x720)

12. Webcam fps
Webcams should have
a minimum fps (frames
per second) rate of 25
to prevent jerky video

13. Checking webcam features
Go to the website
https://webcamtests.com/
and test your webcam

14. Video conference service fps
The video conference
service you are using
should do a 25 fps rate as
well otherwise it would be
pointless to have a
webcam that does it

15. Jitsi Meet fps rate
On the side you see the
fps rate Jitsi Meet is
capable of

16. Zoom fps rate
This is Zoom’s
frame rate

17. Well-lit environment, not backlit
Find a well-lit
environment
and avoid light
from behind

18. Connection problems

19. Bandwidth, latency, packet loss...
Is you internet connection good enough?
Go to the website
https://sourceforge.net/speedtest/
Run a test

20. Check the result

21. Bandwidth, latency, packet loss...
You should have:
●
Latency < 150 ms
●
Jitter < 40 ms
●
Download speed > 1.5 Mbps
●
Upload speed > 1.5 Mbps
●
Packet loss < 1%

22. Finding the jitter
In Sourgeforge
results you find
the jitter when
you click on
“View Details”

23. Jitter is important
Jitter makes
transmission
choppy and spoils
video experience

24. Installing video conference software

25. What to install
●
Both Jitsi Meet and Zoom can run in a browser,
nothing to install
●
With Jitsi Meet use Chrome
●
Zoom provides a desktop application you can
install for additional functionalities
●
The video conference host will send you a link
you will use to join the meeting
