The Campfire meeting room seems interesting.
Giving remote participants a proportionate physical presence should help equal the playing field.
I think it hinges on how easy it is to set up the call, so that each face is on a separate screen.
- ghaff 5y agoOr, you know, have everyone "dial in" from their own computer. That was how a number of teams I work with were pre-pandemic. If anyone's remote, everyone calls in separately. Otherwise the remote experience is inherently going to be worse than the in-person one. That's been one mildly positive aspect of the pandemic. I'm no longer dialing into calls where there are a bunch of people in a conference room and then there's everyone else.

- ghaff 5y agoPeople wear headsets. There are a lot of office jobs where people spend a lot of the day on the phone anyway talking to external people, people in other offices/remote, etc.
- UncleMeat 5y agoI do think that having them centered in the group makes it easier to be inclusive to remote participants. GVC has been great for years, so I expect the tech to work flawlessly. But everything else looks horrible. Hard surfaces. Completely vertical seatbacks that only go up to your lower back. Little sound isolation. Teeny tiny spaces to put a laptop. Limited surfaces to put a cup of coffee.
