jitsi-meet-electron VS noise-suppression-for-voice

Came across [Jitsi](https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/releases/tag/v2023.7.2) and [BigBlueButton](https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton), does anyone have experience of running these or others in production?

I spent hours last night trying to re-enable remote control on Jitsi's electron app with no luck[1]. Are there any other good open source tools out there for remote controlling a friends' computer screen on a call?

I love Jitsi Meet. My friends and I started using it during COVID and it's constantly improved. I host my own instance using docker and it's a breeze.

One issue that really prevents us replacing Mumble with it completely is lack of Push-to-talk [1], which is necessary for gaming etc. Do you know of anyone working on a native desktop app (open source or otherwise)?

Yes, it happens in other Electron apps too. I found this: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron/issues/442

Jitsi Meet is used directly in the browser. Like at this address: https://meet.jit.si. You can also set up your own instance.

A desktop client also exists for Windows, macOS, Linux: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron - kind of not really advertised, provides remote desktop control.

You can turn on end-to-end encryption (e2ee) as long as you are using Jitsi Meet on a browser with support for insertable streams. Currently this means any browser based on Chromium 83 and above, including Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Brave and Opera. You may also use our Electron client, which supports it out of the box.

Support is there, but not enabled for some reason. This issue on Jitsi application (also using Electron which is Chrome stuff) shows the location of real problem.

You will need a client. Browsers typically cannot type in other apps. Something that's free, open source, and runs on all platforms is Jitsi Meet. If you install the client, you'll have an option for "Remote control". I personally like that I'm in a call with the other person at the same time.

We focus on the apps on mobile, on desktop we recommend the browser, but we also have an Electron app: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet-electron

Yes, I think it pipes the default input (source) to the default output. I have a noise cancelling source and if I switch to it the loopback follows it and I hear the de-noised one

For linux: https://github.com/werman/noise-suppression-for-voice

Frankly, what I hear is very similar to the results of classic spectral denoising, even with the characteristic artifacts (for Linux, there's Noise Repellent [1] available for advanced spectral denoising; there's also a ton of commercial spectral processors).

The demonstration could use more random background noises to separate it from spectral processors, and more varied vocabulary to separate it from RNNVoice [2] which tends to suppress breath and parts of sibilants, making the sound unnatural. The latency is also important - is it as low as in RNNVoice? What about the CPU load?

Nice, hopefully you or somebody else will turn this into an easy to use PipeWire plugin, so I can replace noise-suppression-for-voice.

I use this plugin to remove the sound of my air conditioner, which can be quite loud: https://github.com/werman/noise-suppression-for-voice

This comes very close to RTX Voice while being multiple times more efficient. Not as good as RTX Voice but I prefer much lower HW usage.

bonus points if you use equalizerAPO + a VST plugin for noise suppression if you really need to suppress noise.

I like the RNNoise plugin so much I ended up using it in my audio tracks too when doing vocals.
