This week on a Webex meeting someone joined who was playing guitar. Seemed like she stopped right as the connection started so we asked for more. Interestingly, the Webex audio filters were having none of it. Nothing got through. Which is impressive from a noise cancellation perspective, but a bit of a bummer in that we wanted to enjoy a friend's new-to-us talent. I'm sure there's a setting somewhere but Webex is crazy complex these days and we didn't have the time. 🤷‍♂️

@User47 the few times we tried something like this webex failed miserably. Even if it gets past the audio filters there's just enough latency/jitter to mess up something like live music. It's a bummer.

I've seen people have more success with zoom.

@intrepidhero Folks in our nonprofit space tend to vastly prefer Zoom. I don't know how Webex managed to blow the HUGE advantage they had going into the pandemic. But Zoom is way more expensive these days and our overseers wont share their accounts anymore (budget cuts) but also won't let us get a 501 c 3 (for deep discounts) so cheap Webex it is. I feel slightly bad about having past very good experience with it and pressing so hard 😐
@User47 I think even FaceTime has a wideband setting to allow that kind of stuff. Webex must be in pure maintenance mode b/c the big company doesn't care any more
@rpmik Maintenance mode indeed. That is super obvious when you get into the org admin stuff. There are multiple dashboards with different UIs and no uniformity around URLs it's quite the rats nest. It took HOURS to disable the default setting preventing non-org members entry without admission. Makes sense from a corp perspective, I guess. But not us.
