1600698 - [JITSI] bandwith usage and status info

Status: NEW

(Core :: WebRTC, enhancement, P3)

Description

[leorthur]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:69.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/69.0

Steps to reproduce:

Go to https://meet.jit.si and make a new conference call with many people

Actual results:

Bandwidth is more important than chromium.
It is like connections are not terminated sometimes.

There is an info box on all jitster guy but there isn't any information about bandwidth speed.

Expected results:

bandwidth should be reasonable, the information box on jitster guy should work to see incoming and outgoing speed.

I can confirm that this issue is reproducible on the latest Nightly 73.0a1, Firefox 72 beta 2 and Firefox 71.

From an email thread with Emil Ivov at jitsi, it sounds like bandwidth adaptation is broken between Firefox and jitsi and will be until we support transport-cc. Setting as P3 for now until I have a better idea of where this is on our roadmap.

Hello,

Would be great that Firefox can make work jitsi properly.

A lot of company use Firefox and don't want to use chromium or chrome.

Thanks.

It's really sad that Firefox doesn't allow people to use Jitsi... especially these days.
We worked hard to make some jitsi servers available to ease people stay at home but in the end, we can't advertise it or we shoult also advertise google's web browser...
Too bad.

It looks Firefox 78 now indicates bandwidth. A test with a low bandwidth connection would be useful to see if video resolution changes automatically.
