Unfortunately for you, the bandwidth consumption is close to
skype for video calls according to UQAM (Montreal university)
tests. The chat consumes way less, but it sounds you want audio +
video.
Hi all,
My chorus is thinking about having a coach work with us over a Skype connection, with the catch that we rehearse at a church whose WiFi we're not allowed to use. (It's complicated.)
It would be possible to use a cell phone as a hotspot, but I'm not sure if it would provide enough bandwidth for the call. The rehearsal would be about three hours, so at 128kbps (Google's answer for Video calling), that would burn through 135M, so about 1/7 of my monthly allotment. Then again, video isn't necessarily required, and that would cut down the required bandwidth to 30kbps.
Are there any alternative products or services that anyone could suggest for this type of application?
