In cases where you start punctually but people have arrived before you, or for the unexpected occasions when you’re running late, the reception room could serve as a much better alternative to the spartan, waiting room placeholder pages commonly used by online meeting providers.
After all there are reception rooms in the physical world designed to act as a transition area offering warmth, comfort and a buffer before a meeting begins, why not in the virtual as well?
- bckr 3y agoI was hoping for more of an explanation. For instance, how does this connect to the actual meeting? How do people get to the meeting after they were here? How do people get here? Is it a plug-in for zoom? What apps does it work with? What is the experience like? I don’t want to press the button unless I know what I’m getting.
- yesiamitalian 3y agoThanks for your comments! In this early iteration, it's a web application that users access with a URL that you provide them. They stay within this web app until you the host push a begin meeting button on your side and then they and you are redirected to the online meeting URL that you added when you set up the room. Might you have 5mins to try it? https://app.receptionroom.org/#/ https://app.receptionroom.org/#/ and let me know how it goes? It's really new so just looking for people to try it at this point. Thank you

- yesiamitalian 3y agoThanks for this feedback. Yeah I am not sure if this is needed or not, but thought there might be some people who'd want to add a different experience to their meetings.
