During the last monthly update there were difficulties in setting up the technical environment for simultaneous translation. It worked this time but is far from ideal: I had to tweak my sound settings in ways I don’t even remember to avoid echo.
@pilou would you like to tackle this? It is my understanding that you’re yet to get started with your commitment to dedicate 5% of your time to diversity and that would be a nice way to catch up. If you’d rather pick another diversity related task it’s also fine by me: I will explore to find a solution for next month meeting.
I’m unclear about how it would help with the diversity in the fedeproxy project. I guess it would have to be explained, I just don’t see it right away.
When the translator speaks, everyone hears a faint voice from the participant being translated and hears the translation instead. The participant being translated faintly hears the translator but is not disturbed because the volume is too low for them to understand.
Hey, I thought I could help but the time didn’t work for me (my vote was the one for Sun), hope it went well.
There is one person, Joseph, who recently joined our OHN community call and shared a modified jitsi server he is running, I thought it might be interesting option for you.
It allows for internal breakout rooms when people can talk to each other without hearing other rooms or hearing them at reduced volume.
Below is a screenshot from our call with 2 rooms, each person can regulate each room’s volume individually and independently from other rooms.
Great resource! I’ll definitely give it a try if the setup does not work as well as expected next week. Will you be able to join November 18th, 5pm Paris time? It would be great to have you
@jfinn thanks for this I’d be very interested to see the code you wrote to make that happen (I’m a developer, very curious about the details). Would you be so kind as to let me know where you pushed it?
