Known Issues:
For some uses a mouse is needed.
Audio volume for people in a conference is low.
So far I have had issues with the mic cutting out after a few seconds. (May be related to Bluetooth speakers attached to the TV, lacking a mic)
This requires testing on different / better hardware.
Current Setup:
Hisense 43H6570G with a Junk webcam and bookshelf speakers connect by a cheap Bluetooth amp.
I have also same problem, with mic cot off after exactly 30 seconds, I think is a problem with app, I tried many versions but no results, I use tv box mecool KM1 and camera Logitech c525 maybe somebody find a solution for this bug
