I rather love this idea. It is a rather elegant solution to the problem of "how do we provide office like presence". I work for a not-heavily distributed company but we have some permanent remote and some WFH days. We never turn on the video for our zoom meetings. However most of these people we see regularly, so not a huge deal.
On the flip side my wife works for a heavily distributed company and their solution is "you must always have video on for zoom". It's not a bad idea, but sometimes you can't or don't want to have video on - especially when you're call is at 7am (or earlier) to support people in timezones farther ahead.
It would be awesome to have a little dashboard of my teammates with decent integrations (like shown) to know when they are actually around and have some feeling of teamdom... without having my video or audio on all the time. Having video on for long duration is certainly a lot creepier than working in an office.
