That is actually not the feedback we are getting. And as I said the way it is configured by default does not divulge and more information than e.g. the green dot in Slack or Teams, the rest is up to you.

What feedback are you getting? The implication is that you have users that are constantly surveilled by video and input device monitoring, and that they are telling you they are enthused.

  The users we talk with are tired of meeting overload and some also feel lonely working remotely. They appreciate that we are trying to cut down the time they have to spend in meetings, and that a Virtual HQ tool like Jamscape make them feel more like a part of a team, as in the good old days where everyone were in the office together. Some dislike having the camera on all the time, both because of privacy concerns and for practical reasons such as this conflicting with other apps (this is only a problem on Windows, macOS allows the camera to be shared by multiple applications), but after we added the option of using keyboard/mouse event monitoring* instead nobody has complained about feeling surveilled. We are developers building a tool that addressed the problems with remote working we have experienced ourselves (I have personally worked remotely since 2011), and we are not trying to build a surveillance tool, as none of us like to feel surveilled. We have tried to make everything tit-for-tat, so that you only get out as much information as you yourself is willing to give. For instance, you can show live video of your face, and if you do that will be able to see live video of others, but if you turn off your own video you also lose the ability to see others. *) this monitoring, as provided by the underlying OS, does not let us see individual keyboard events, only a monotonically increasing events counter, so there are hardly any privacy implications.
