Somehow I collect low-powered laptops, and it would be nice to video chat on them without teetering on the edge of my desktop being frozen while I do it. Unfortunately, aside from Zoom - which doesn’t have an ARM+Linux client - most of the video conferencing software I know of are WebRTC-based.
My question - can anyone suggest video conferencing software that is speedier than your average browser-based solution? I expect that whatever it is will require the other end to run the same software, and that’s ok.
For reference, Google Meet and Jitsi Meet are the two I’ve tried. I briefly tried Teams, but it was having none of it.
Thank you!
Can you just stream video and audio directly, like a standard IP camera? This list of solutions in the Raspberry Pi documentation could have some ideas - https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/camera_software.html#stream-video-over-a-network-with-rpicam-apps (there are some RPi specific solutions, but also general Linux approaches e.g. ffplay)
