Just wondering, what is the appeal of doing a video chat with no audio? Thanks.
- anguswithgusto 7y agoI did a mystery murder on Zoom yesterday where only the organizer/host had audio. It had the feelings of an IRC chatroom but with video. More people could actively talk (30+) than on a regular Zoom call, which are rife with interruptions in even very small groups.
- Cilvic 7y agoI'm really interested in this, as we are building something to enable more people talking in different groups: joinvoiceplace.com Would you be available for a couple of questions: - Are you planning to repeat it? - Did you use one or many rooms? - Do you know about break-out rooms in Zoom? - Have you thought about how giving attention/directing speech would work in "IRC + Video" ?
- anguswithgusto 7y agoYeah, gonna repeat it next weekend! Everyone had a lot of fun. TO answer your question: we did indeed use multiple (break-out) rooms. As for speech/voice... I spent a lot of time on Omegle as a teenager, so video + no audio is natural to me but may not be for some people. Feel free to ask me more questions via email: cbswishes at gmail.
- ghostpepper 7y agoWhat do you mean nobody had audio but 30+ people could talk?
- makeee 7y agoI'm guessing they mean everyone else could talk via text chat, which is the same with Chatparty.
- makeee 7y agoPotentially allows for more people to be in a video chat at once. Beyond that though.. no idea. Thought it would be interesting to put it out there and see what happens :)
- maps7 7y agoI think some business meetings could be run really well with visuals but no audio. I think Jeff Bezos does a silent meeting thing where everyone reads the brief. Something like that.
