A new guide to set up Jitsi Video Conferencing with High Quality Stereo Audio Playback is now available:
http://www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~rtnvrmp/JitsiStereo.html
High quality stereo playback is important when teaching or performing music via video conferencing. Jitsi Meet is a free, open source video conferencing tool which can be set up to facilitate the sending of high-quality audio in stereo. Unfortunately, Jitsi lacks the means of enabling these features from the standard web-based user interface. Instead, the initiator of a video call must append a series of configuration options to the Iitsi server address and room name as a ‘query string’. This technical note has been drafted in the hope that it might support musicians and teachers wishing to take advantage of these features of Jitsi. It is important to note that stereo sound using the steps outlined will only work with Firefox used on both the transmitting and receiving machines. This document is a work in progress and comments and corrections are welcome.
