Yes, that's right. Actually, I can't tell the difference in quality  
*except* when I point the camera at the white board. It's totally  
readable with Zoom but unreadable with Jitsi. I don't know whether it's  
actually a problem in the number of pixels or if it's come kind of  
contrast issue or something. But several people on the other end appear  
to see the same thing.
