Good Day,

We had a meeting with BBB2.7 with a user in a remote area. His audio get skipping and disconnect at some time.

Then we moved the meeting to Google Meet, it work flawless like the user did not have network issues.

I was wondering if we can achieve the same level as Google Meet or something close to it.

I need your opinion, guidance and possibilities.

Thanks

We've been working on swapping out FreeSWITCH and MediaSoup for LiveKit, which is the state of the art media server.  In particular, LiveKit supports the RED codec, which is how you get better audio in lower bandwidth conditions.  See

Good to hear from you.

But will the Free Version of Livekit work for large conferences? Unlike Freeswitch & Mediasoup, which are free ?

Can we also tweak Freeswitch & Mediasoup to support the RED codec?
