This is a general suggestion, and I
ve been online for very little time. But it seems to me that having the camera pointing to a side angle is way less anxiety causing than if the persons face is facing the camera. I currently see 2 images, one doesn`t make me confortable, and it is clear that it is because it looks like the person is looking at me.So unless anyone else objects, please point cameras to ears for the socially sensitive ones like me :)
I'm using my built in camera on my mac, so can't turn it. Do you have the option to turn my video off and on? I figure its probably better to have on for the sense of socialness, but I certainly don't need to have it on.
Also, not really sure what to do about chatting on there or not. I got the sense that some people might get annoyed when there is a lot of chat, but others want to connect. I'm not sure what is optimal. I think one nice thing would be if we could have a set of guidelines/expectations.
It would be nice to have linked rooms, like a study room and a more chatty room that people can pop back and forth on.
Another potential useful feature would be if everyone was on the same pomodoro timer, so that the room is consistently quiet 25 mins then chat 5.
Dreeves and other beeminder people used to do pomodoro sessions virtually together starting on the hour, I found value in that. (this is where I got the scheduled pomodoro sessions idea from) that I had suggested to you!
I had forgotten about your suggestion, yes, it is a great idea for coordinated co-working. When I came into the room, other people were already doing pomodoros, so I just opened up my program and started doing them personally as well.
I don't tend to do them on my own, but in the chat setting I felt like they were working well for me, at least with this first attempt.
