Does anyone know of a way to stream/cast video and desktop audio through Google Meet that actually works?
All of the official methods (present tab, cast tab / whatever to a Meet, etc) produce distorted and choppy audio which is unusable.
This is verified on multiple systems, both hardwired and Wi-Fi, with far more than adequate memory, video hardware, and bandwidth. Colleagues have found the same thing on their end as well.
I fully realize I may be SOL here. If it was up to me, we'd all be using something like OBS Studio, which does this no problem.
@voltronic i dont know i will boost so someone else can answer
@voltronic mainly here to learn about suggestions from others. That said, you seem uniquely well equipped to answer a question of mine, i hope it s ok to @ you in a new thread regarding assembling "video/music" tracks together from distant locations?
@sgalzin
Yes, that's something I do now and then.
1) Test to see if it's a scaling problem by starting with 2 machines. Does it work OK?
2) Fast hardware cannot over come slow OS. Try running machines with a low latency kernel like Ubuntu Studio.
'using something else is not a solution because this is what our school district has said we are using as our instructional delivery'
Engineering solutions require proper testing and analysis. There's no way around that.
@Dane
1) Did that already
2) No good because several specialized music apps we need are win/osx only. Many people in my department will be using district hardware, which are win or chrome.
3) Point well taken, but I think the engineering issue may be on Google's end here.
^ by the way, using something else is not a solution because this is what our school district has said we are using as our instructional delivery. I'm trying to help an entire department of music teachers find a way for this to work with them so we can actually play music with our students. synchronously. I really want the entire desktop to be able to be shared so I can play midi virtual instruments live.
