HELP GETTING STARTED. - ivarevan - 04-13-2020
I AM VERY INTERESTED IN THIS APPLICATION. HOWEVER AS A BEGINNER I NEED HELP. THIS INTERFACE IS VERY CONFUSING AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANY SUCCESS GETTING IT TO WORK AS ADVERTISED AND I NEED USERS WITH EXPERIENCE FOR HELP.
BEING SOCIALLY ISOLATED IS AWFUL AND THE ABILITY TO REHEARSE WITH MY BAND MAY SAVE MY SANITY. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME GET STARTED WITH SOME BEST PRACTICES? PERHAPS ON A ZOOM CALL REAL TIME? THIS APP IS VERY CONFUSING AND I AM STUCK. I GOT TO THE "TESTING PHASE" AND HIT A DEAD END. CAN SOMEONE WALK ME THROUGH SOME STEPS? I HAVE LOTS OF EXPERIENCE WITH OTHER VIDEO CONFERENCING PLATFORMS LIKE ZOOM BUT THIS ONE IS NOT VERY INTUITIVE.
I DID THE INITIAL "TESTING" AND IT SAID I CANNOT SUPPORT VIDEO BECAUSE OF MY INTERNET SPEED.
OK THEN, WHAT IS NEEDED TO PASS THE INITIAL TEST and or WHAT INTERNET SPEED IS REQUIRED TO DO VIDEO? CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TO UPGRADE TO FOR SUCCESS? WHO OUT THERE IS UP AND RUNNING GREAT JAMMING WITH THEIR BAND WITH VIDEO?
i HAVE NOT SEEN ANY TUTORIALS ON HOW TO SET UP VIDEO SUCCESSFULLY OR A SPECIFIC LIST OF WHAT IS NEEDED TO DO VIDEO CORRECTLY. SO I AM HUMBLY ASKING ANYONE SYMPATHETIC FOR HELP. JAM KAZAM APPEARS TO HAVE NO SUPPORT OR THEY ARE INCREDIBLY BUSY AND BOGGED DOWN.
THANKS FOR ANY ASSISTANCE. AGAIN IF SOMEONE CAN ZOOM ME FOR REAL TIME HELP I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT

You really don't need video.
More accurate: You really don't want video.
It takes up unnecessary bandwidth which hampers your audio quality or even the ability to jam.
Skip the 'test' - testservers have been on the fritz sometime now.
Finish your setup without testing and try to start a 'quick start solo' session.
If you can hear yourself, the biggest hurdle has been taken.
