Yesterday I ran Meetecho on my Lenovo e120 duo-core running Win7 and 
current Firefox.

The CPUs were pegged at 100% all the time and the audio was clipped.  
Good thing I did not need to speak, as I don't know how it would have gone.

Today I am using my Lenovo e140 quad-core running Win10 and current Firefox.

CPUs are at 75% and audio is good.

Video was good on the e120 and is good on the e140.

BTW, I use the e120 regularly for my video meetings with Webex, 
Microsoft Meet, Zoom and GotoMeeting amongst others and it works fine.  
All of these have specific Win apps (and why I run them on Win, not 
Fedora).  Well sometimes if I used one program and then needed to switch 
to another, I have learned to reboot, as sometimes they don't let go of 
audio and video...

Google Meet keeps bombing on supposed network problems.  It works fine 
on my e140 running Fedora 32.

Anyway, Meetecho is a hog for me.  Just not kosher....
