I disagree. I am often in calls with half a dozen folks from a customer, none of whom I've met before, all with English names that I have more trouble telling apart than my native German names, and due to their audio setup and the different language I might have trouble distinguishing their voices. Worse, Microsoft teams just shows a bubble with initials in it. Having some kind of visual anchor, like this kind of virtual representation, would really help me remember people and calls a lot better, and nobody would have to share their video if they just got out of bed.
- xur17 6y agoI agree. In addition to a visual anchor, I find that it makes handoffs a lot easier - there are visual queues that can be used to see when someone is about to talk, which makes it easier to avoid talking over each other and knowing when to stop talking.
- sp332 6y agoOn Google Hangouts, people can upload a static avatar image that shows in place of their initials. And when they speak, there is a visual sound level indicator so you can tell which person is talking. I haven't tried this in Teams but the process looks very similar.
