Does this explain why I get poor Jitsi experience on my laptop and better using the Android app on my phone??

I suspect you are hitting on the exact issue I'm having. I have a Thinkpad with just the Intel 5500 GPU, nothing superb. So, how do I figure out if at least that is being used or not?




Windows Task Manager will show you GPU utilization on the Performance tab. Start Task Manager, then start your browser and see if there is an uptick. Then start a meeting to see if there is another one. There probably won't be. Then, disable the software rendering override in your browser: (Firefox: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Blocklisting/Blocked_Graphics_Drive...) (Chrome: https://superuser.com/questions/836832/how-can-i-enable-webg...) and test again. Probably need to restart the browser after the change in settings.


Why would you assume I'm on Windows?

I'm on GNU/Linux here.

But anyway, yes, I see specifically an uptick in the CPU dramatically with meetings, distinct from other browsing.
