If you had a pound for every time I thought 'Fucking discord!!' in my head you could have purchased 17 islands.

@TomGrant91 @FreakyFwoof agreed on both counts. Can'tstand those two platforms. Zoom is slightly better, but just barely scrapes the margins.

@rlegowski1 @TomGrant91 Zoom is more than slightly better, it's miles and leagues above both of them put together. Way better shortcuts at least on MacOS, an actual usable UI.

@FreakyFwoof @TomGrant91 not on my PC it ain't. The chat window is hopelessly slow, locks up my whole system. The shortcuts are cool, but sound quality not too good.

@rlegowski1 @TomGrant91 That's because you didn't enable stereo audio or original sound. I teach on zoom and if you do that, trust me, it's worth it.

@FreakyFwoof @TomGrant91 I do enable original sound. Not sure how to enable stereo though, maybe that'll improve things.

@rlegowski1 @TomGrant91 In the same place you do all the other audio things. You can disable echo cancellation as well.

@FreakyFwoof @TomGrant91 OK cool, I'll check that out next time i use it. Teamtalk works best for me overall though.

@rlegowski1 @TomGrant91 Very niche though, even now, despite being out for 20 years. Name any group of people outside the blind community that actually use it? I can't think of any.

@FreakyFwoof @TomGrant91 me either. But it would be nice if they'd try it out sometimes.

@rlegowski1 @FreakyFwoof @TomGrant91 Despite the developer being sighted, the TeamTalk UI is a complete disaster for those with site, on all platforms. This from a sighted person I know and whose tech skills are quite good. ...It's difficult to even know how to transmit. Quite honestly, I think Bjorn mainly makes TeamTalk as a gift for us at this point.

@nick @FreakyFwoof @TomGrant91 @rlegowski1 I wish he'd open source it if that were the case. There are lots of little niggles I'd love to be able to fix.

@jscholes @FreakyFwoof @nick @TomGrant91 @rlegowski1 Nope. That's just the UI. You have to pay hundreds of dollars for the SDK: bearware.dk/?page_id=316

@fastfinge @FreakyFwoof @nick @TomGrant91 @rlegowski1 Oh. I was kind of assuming the things you wanted to fix were in the UI. What would you change about the underlying layers?

@jscholes @FreakyFwoof @nick @TomGrant91 @rlegowski1 Well, I'd love to have propper encryption without paying thousands of dollars for an encryption license. And the way it does account management and public/private keys is just bad and silly. I'd also love to see support for joining a room via text chat and not voice, and the ability to have push notifications for text messages in various channels on mobile. Lastly, it's more than possible to do 3d audio on IOS and Android. Why this hasn't been done is inexplicable to me. The 3d code hasn't been touched since it was written, and still needs direct audio. Oh, and optional server-side transcoding would be nice. The server owner could choose to enable it, and a particular client could choose to use it, for folks on lower bandwidth mobile connections or where data is expensive. Until it has these sorts of features teamtalk will remain ever stuck in the 90's.
