Many #IndieWeb community members in low bandwidth areas rely on Mumble for Virtual Homebrew Website Clubs. It provides always encrypted voice chat over the internet. Getting Mumble installed is quite easy.

Installing the Program

4. Then install the program.

Audio Set up

1. You then be asked to select your default input and output device.
2. Next you will complete a series of audio input and volume output tests.
3. We will use push to talk so the audio test are not critical.
4. There is a high-contrast image setting for those that are color blind (like me)
5. I could not run the test with large amounts of feedback with my Blue Yeti mic
6. On the next screen select push to talk
7. If you are using a mouse you can assign a button to push to talk. You can also assign a keyboard shortcut.
