snare.tv: Remote live collaboration and conferencing for musicians

Hello everyone, We wanted to let your community know that we have created a live collaboration and conferencing tool for musicians in the context of the corona crisis, so that you can collaborate with each other better when trying to make music together. The tool is called Snare and can be found at this link: https://snare.tv The three most important things first: Snare is FREE Snare works WITHOUT USER ACCOUNTS Snare takes literally 5 seconds to set up and get started Snare works best with headphones, here’s a quick list of what's possible: Live Audio: Yes Live video: Yes Screen Sharing: Yes Computer Audio: Yes (via Soundflower) Remote Control: Yes, keyboard and mouse (to be released early next week) High resolution audio (Audio Processing disabled): Yes Stereo Audio: Yes The whole thing is based on the open-source framework Jitsi and we have tweaked the features to make it useful for musicians (giving good audio quality a higher preference than good video quality, disabling audio processing, etc.) The whole thing serves as a starting point for live collaboration and there are still quirks in some places, but the most important thing is that it works and people have fun using it. We would be really happy if you would like to try it out with your friends and colleagues, and please (!) give us feedback and suggestions that come to your mind, so we can improve the tool in a way that makes sense for you. Also, if you would like to help us building it, feel free to reach out anytime. We're currently writing a few articles on Medium to better explain the setup process, for example when sharing computer sound, or how to enable remote control. As soon as the articles are available I will add them to the post. Greetings from Germany and stay healthy, Mateo & Vlada from snare.tv
