A common issue with Zoom is the "half-duplex" operation, where only one person can speak at a time, and another person speaking will cause an interrupt and take control. Hence the infernal mute button is so needed. Does Jitsi allow for a "full-duplex" communication to occur? An example scenario is two people singing a duet, which is impossible on a Zoom call.

Many Thanks, Garry

We are working with both the tools and have integrated them with our Application. But, the problem I face is that Jitsi meetings have voice distortion and disconnection issues, while Zoom is pretty good. Should I go with Zoom, or is there any solution for the distortion problems in Jitsi?

I'm thinking about video blogging and perhaps podcasting as well as team video conferencing. Can Jitsi do all of that?
