My team has a similar tool. So, everyone is in the room, muted and no-volume. So, if someone needs my attention they can send a bell but when my audio is off its only a visual bell, so it won't interrupt the deep work. And one can always exit the channel if needed - which is shown in status, so folks know your DND or not available.
But, one can monitor the channel so it behaves like a water cooler too. And up-scales to video and screen share super fast. (Faster than other tools) It's really quite flexible.
We've been using this pattern for about 60 months. We all (6 humans) seem to like it OK.
- maest 6y agoIs this an in-house tool?
- edoceo 6y agoYep. Built with Apache, PHP, Sqlite and PeerJS
- hackmiester 6y agoSeems that they said it is; however, you could do all this with Zoom, for instance. To be in the room muted and with no volume, disconnect the audio connection. To ask for someone's attention, send them a direct chat message (not to Everyone). And of course you could always leave the Zoom meeting and rejoin later.
