Hi,

 

Using quality echo cancelling equipment (headsets/speakerphones) greatly
reduces issues with echo, however most people don't have quality echo
cancelling equipment.

 

Is there any way to reduce echo (other than echo cancelling
headsets/speakerphones) ?

 

I have seen systems which use software echo cancelling methods, some are
more simple than others, like auto muting the microphones of everyone
but the person currently speaking, until that person pauses speaking.
The mute lasts long enough for the audio stream finish, then allows the
next person who starts speaking to be the primary speaker.  Would it be
possible to implement a system like this?

 

Usually the echo is a delayed echo which I believes makes it much more
difficult to detect.

 

Does anyone in the OpenMeetings development team have experience in
software echo cancelling or plan to introduce it?

 

Thanks,
