I have two laptops, one of around 2010 and another from 2018. Both go to almost 100% CPU with just two people in the Jitsi conference; with three people the sound stutters (because power is over 100%) and it becomes impossible for me to follow the conversation - even with camera disabled. I don't know how to disable the video entirely.
Click the "..." ("More settings") menu (in the bottom), then "quality settings", and set it to "low bandwidth". (The wording might differ since I see all this in german.)
I can confererence using other solutions, like google meet or zoom. It is definitely a Jitsi problem.
Just wondering - which browser do you use? I usually use Chromium for video conferences which works quite well. OTOH, I've seen Firefox (my everyday browser) eating up lots of memory when using it for video conferences. In one case it ate up _all_ memory and I had to do a hard reboot to unblock the laptop. (That also means: keep an eye on the memory usage, not only CPU.) BTW: My laptop is now > 5 years old. I can estimate how many people are in a conference by listening to the fan ;-) Besides this annoyance, it works even in bigger conferences, like Jitsi meetings with up to 30 people. Regards, Christian Boltz -- well that's my 2c worth. Well about 1.7 cents with the current exchange rate. [Helen South in opensuse-project]
