Jitter

Jitter is a term used to describe the variability in audio or video quality that can occur during an online meeting. This variation often results from network issues, such as fluctuations in data transmission or packet delivery times. When jitter is present, participants may experience disruptions in the smoothness and synchronization of audio and video streams. To combat jitter, online meeting platforms employ jitter buffers and other mechanisms to smooth out these variations, ensuring that the communication remains stable and that participants can engage in conversations and presentations without distracting interruptions.
