Great Zoom/Meet/Teams alternative

I run a software business in Australia and always need meetings and demonstrations for my partners in China and Europe. I tried Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and VooV Meeting. They're all very good but all with meeting length limitations.

Sessions is a good alternative; now I can easily host meetings. Surprisingly, I can use it with my partners in China and the speed seems to be okay.

Overall experience is very good so far considering the LTD price tag. It can be improved of course,

e.g,
(1) The voice sometimes breaks up and becomes unclear for a few seconds.
(2) Screen sharing quality seems not as good as other main players. Also the viewer can not make the shared screen in true full-screen because I can still see thin padding on each side.
(3) Tring to download the meeting recording is PITA. The pop window shows up and asks you to "save" or "save as" the recorded video file, but no matter which one you choose, 1 out 10 times it would actually start downloading. Most of the time nothing happens and leaves you frustrated, clicking that download button over and over again.

Hope all these can be improved over time. It's a good tool and has its potential.

Hey Acon,

Thank you for your review and observations. As a matter of fact, we are currently working to improve all the three aspects you mentioned.

(1) We are exploring ways to improve the voice experience. It's an ongoing process.

(2) We are working to increase surface area for screen sharing and for the meeting in general.

(3) For the recording and its download, we are implementing new solutions to make it smoother and faster.

Improving Sessions is a day-to-day operation; we can't do it without you. Please keep on sharing your issues and suggestion with us.

Thanks! ☺️
