Moving away from Zoom: ColloCall (co-op hosted solution)

Continuing on mobile device support, I have some new datapoints.

BBB on Mobile

Had a bunch of calls with people on mobile platforms, here’s a summary!

  • BBB web client works on mobile, no app is needed
  • iPad and Android devices work even better than I expected! Clear audio, video, drawing on whiteboard, PDF upload and presenting, everything works great :smiley: first time users who aren’t especially tech-savvy had no trouble
    • One Android phone, from an unknown manufacturer, has Chrome crashing whenever trying to enable video
  • Microsoft Surface (I assume Edge browser) seems to be audio-only
  • Phones with tiny screens may be more problematic, but that seems like a general problem

There isn’t a collective place to pool this info together yet. I am going to continue this documenting on our BBB issue at the Hypha GitHub for now instead of piling all details onto this CoTech thread.
