These details are not super important for the version one launch. Very few "normal" people will notice.

  They will notice that they look more like photographs than still frames from a webcam chat. My initial reaction was that they were profile images representing the people involved in the chat. I have a hunch that "normal" people will think the same. Otherwise, the product looks very interesting, looking forward to having an opportunity to try it out.

    I agree, I actually came back to comment on this. The issue isn't so much that they're stock images per se - more that they don't give me an idea of what the product actually looks like in use.

    Agreed. My initial impression was those photos were static implying that the service was audio chat only. I went looking through the features to see if video chat was possible.

  I somewhat agree that "normal" folks won't notice - at least they wouldn't specifically mention anything about stock photos (and these don't look terribly "stocky" compared to others). But, overall the trust or incentive to take the next step that needs to be captured in the first 5-15 seconds will be lower. Even if they can't express it, it just wouldn't feel right in their subconscious. Also, if possible have the photos set up so the person is facing towards the action you want them to take - the get a meeting room button. Anyways, just a tip, I think it looks very clean overall. And, just went to a meeting room and the onboarding is great. I was in a meeting room within 10 seconds - very nice.
