About Jamulus
Jamulus lets musicians play, rehearse or jam together over the internet with low-latency, high-quality sound on a normal broadband connection. Choirs, bands, folk and classical ensembles use it, as do teachers giving remote music lessons in schools and universities.
Installers are available for Windows, macOS and Debian or Ubuntu, with instructions for other platforms. The documentation includes a troubleshooting section, and there are forums for help. The interface is translated into many languages, and the program is licensed under the GPL.
