QA:Testcase PipeWire Video Conferencing

Conferencing with PipeWire

Setup

1. This test case should be performed on bare-metal machines.
2. The computer must be equipped with a sound device.
3. You must have headphones and a microphone (or headseat) to test with.
4. Install a desktop version of Fedora 34 (or later).
5. Perform the following steps as a regular user.

How to test (Scenario 1)

1. Start an on-line conference using your favourite conferencing system (Zoom, BlueJeans, etc.) and check that your party can hear you correctly and vice-versa.
2. Check that the video and audio streams are synchronised.
3. Confirm that the audio quality meets your expectations. Network issues alone should not be considered a lack of audio quality.

How to test (Scenario 2)

If you have an option to start a conference with another party, you should always use Scenario 1 to test this. However, if you don't, follow this procedure.

1. Install the mumble package and start Mumble.
2. Follow the instructions in the Settings wizard and set up your audio accordingly. Confirm that setting up the audio has been successful.
3. Click on the Server icon and navigate to North America, United States of America and connect to the SKYN3T server. Check that you have been placed in the Lobby room and that the __SkyMusic__ bot is present there.
4. Find a Youtube video of your choice and copy the link the that video.
5. Doubleclick on the bot to open a chat with the bot and send it !ulr <youtube-link> to load the video into the player and check that it starts playing.
6. Send the bot !volume 40 to set the volume level to a reasonably low amount.
7. Click on the Recording icon and check that a recording dialogue has opened.
8. On the recording dialogue, set up your preferred format, location, etc. and when you are ready, start the recording.
9. Record approximately 30 seconds of you talking and stop the recording.
10. Disconnect from the Mumble server.
11. Navigate to the local directory, where the recording has been stored (see the recording preferences), and make sure the recording can be played back and that it has both the background music and your voice in the foreground.

Expected results

1. Teleconferencing works as expected.
2. If you followed Scenario 2: The music provided from the SKYN3T __SkyMusic__ bot is audible in the Lobby. The Lobby recording has both the music and your voice over it.
