Performance and customization pain points of spatial 3D online meeting tools
Problem
Users report frequent stutters and WebRTC compatibility issues, difficulties with self‑hosting and network restrictions, and a desire for authentic video representation and modular, self‑hostable virtual spaces, indicating a clear need for a more reliable, customizable, and open solution.
Pain points
- Performance stutters and lag
- WebRTC compatibility issues on browsers like Safari
- Need for TURN servers to handle restrictive networks
- Concern about authenticity of webcam video (AI‑generated)
- Difficulty in self‑hosting and achieving modular customization
Questions to verify
- Do you experience frequent stutters or performance issues with similar tools?
- Do you need self‑hosting or TURN servers to handle network restrictions?
- How important is the authenticity of real user webcam video to your experience?

Performance is poor with frequent stutters.

Safari has some weird WebRTC quirks (getUserMedia/codec differences vs. Chrome) further more the stutters are often scaling problems and not because of the rendering.

the only on‑par open source solution is https://workadventu.re/, but it is impossible to self‑host to the point that one would think they're doing it on purpose so that you pay them for hosting.

Those videos of the actual webcam feeds are AI‑generated, right? If I were you I would at least use the videos of real people from the original demo, if not try to have another live demo.

It's largely built like a web multiplayer game, and the 3D virtual spaces are highly customisable with elements and activities (I recently added surfing!).
