  • A user is able to mute another person for themselves in a call.
  • A user is able to change the volume of another person for themselves in a call.
  • A user is able to start or stop watching any particular video stream.
  • Users receive a notification when a call is started in a group chat.

TODO: incomplete list

Non-functional requirements:

  • Users are only able to join one voice channel at a time.
  • Users experience low-latency communication by default.
  • Users can tell if there is an ongoing call in a room and who is participating.
  • Users can tell at a glance if there is an ongoing call in a server.

  • Users are able to tell who is currently not broadcasting their voice.
  • Users are able to tell who is currently not listening to anybody else.
  • Users are able to tell which other people can hear them.
  • Users are able to test if other people would be able to hear them.
  • Users automatically hear voice and (camera) video by default.
  • Users automatically watch screen shares within the context of group chats.
  • Users do not automatically watch screen shares within the context of servers.
  • Users are able to choose a layout which best fits what they are doing, i.e. watching a stream or listening to people.

TODO: incomplete list

Needs discussion:

  • (non-functional) Users are automatically disconnected from voice calls when they are idle.
  • (functional) Users are able to preview video streams before watching them.

Future work:

  • Integrate high-quality noise cancellation a-la Krisp but open-source, e.g. DeepFilterNet

It is technically useable, but the experience isn't necessarily up to scratch - please have patience as we are a group of volunteers 🙏

Is there a need for assistance with this? Is this work on hold because there isn't enough bandwidth?

I'd be willing to lend a hand if that's the case.
