A new device lets people sing in choirs on Zoom
mainFrom the Guardian:
Zoom, like most other video platforms, experiences a 300-millisecond to one-second lag between computers as information gets sent over the internet. The delay renders directing and singing music simultaneously nearly impossible… A technology called JackTrip eliminates the dreaded delay.

This will help choirs rehearse for performances in the future, and also create virtual choral performances in synch.
Wouldn’t this be equally applicable to instrumental ensembles?
I wonder how the Zoom makers feel about all these things that are not Zoom being called “Zoom”.
And I wonder how the Skype makers feel about “Zoom” having replaced them as the generic term for any online conversation.
