> interrupting people for a realtime conversation is a feature people want and use Really? I'm dumbstruck by this sentiment. I've never met or even heard someone express they like being interrupted with a unsolicited, unexpected (video) call. I'm Canadian, and my team is all remote, with people in Canada, US, UK, Portugal and Romania. No one does unsolicited video calls.. at all. Don't get me wrong, we do lots of video calls, including adhoc ones, but those are always started with a DM like "hey, have a few minutes to chat?" If I'm deep in something, I'll reply with "maybe in an hour or so" and if I'm ready right then I'll just call. Sorry but not asking first just seems rude and totally disrespectful of the other person's time.
