I recommend you check if your friend can hear you on another site (e.g. Discord). That way you can determine if it's an issue on their end versus on Kosmi's end :)
You can also see if Hyperbeam is a good fit for you (I'm one of the creators).

Any vpn browser extension works. Caracal comes with FoxyProxy built in (look at the right side of the URL bar), and Tutturu's starting page in a room lists several good free ones such as DotVPN and Hola Free VPN, that it even links to so you can just pick one, install it in the virtual machine, and be good to go.
That's definitely not the typical experience. What's your Internet speed ( https://fast.com )? And what browser and OS?
Typically choppiness to that extent is from a slower Internet speed and can be worked around by changing the bitrate with a chat command. (/bitrate 1000000 for example)
If you'd like to join the Discord then I could help troubleshoot with you.
my thoughts is kast.gg possibly not working properly yet.
I have downloaded the program
and like you it is confusing and there are channels that just
got stucked in connecting
and if they succeed to connect I video is static
and I hear people talking .
Really hard to use it.
