Appreciate this feedback! Our site is ~6 months stale and we're working on updates next week onwards, so this is very timely.
> When 7/10 team mates comply and keep it on always, the pressure is on the remaining 3 to turn on their cameras as well.
This is our site being unclear again. Remotion coworking rooms default to audio and video muted. However, we struggling with how to represent Remotion on our site: When you're out of a call or your camera is off, we show users as "selfies" because we think those feel more human that just a green dot. Website viewers often interpret these selfies as being live video.

Candidly, I think that the root symptom of what you're describing is your team/manager. Let me ask you this: Do you want to work on a team that wants you to be at your desk all the time?
Our philosophy at Remotion is to be radically transparent about breaks, to the point of celebrating them. Apart from a few hours of meeting overlap in the middle of the day, we work on our own terms, including taking breaks for walks/errands/etc in the middle of the day. It goes to the point of actively posting photos of our midday breaks in an OOTO channel. Teammates react to those, making a point of saying: "Hey, prioritizing yourself is good. Being offline is good."

Interesting, will bear in mind.

Website viewers often interpret these selfies as being live video. Even though in-app you encourage photos, maybe for the marketing website you could display this as avatars/cartoon-versions of the person (which presumably people can set, if they prefer)? It'd make clear that live video isn't mandated.
- aejae 4y agoThanks for the suggestion. This is a good idea.
