@th3j35t3r does CoSo Call do video chat? How’s the latency? There’s plenty of musicians around here for a jam session/open stage.
@CanisPundit
Web chat platforms generally do not have low enough latency for remote ensemble performance. You need a specialized solution like https://www.jacktrip.com for that, and everyone should be on wired ethernet, using high quality external audio interfaces with direct kernel data streaming and wired headphones.

All of us who taught music through the lockdowns tried all of the other options, and unless every single person is doing what I described above, it doesn't work. All it takes is one person to be using Bluetooth headphones and they are out of time with the group.
@CanisPundit
Any system where you have more than about 30 ms round trip latency between collaborators doesn't work for remote ensembles. Jitter and packet loss play a part too, but the latency is most of the battle.
