Ask HN: Video conferencing for small talk in groups?
Normal tools are focussed on one speaker at time.
Zoom supports breakout rooms, but they are a bit clunky.
I'd imagine something where you can "move closer" to certain speakers which would increase their volume, but still listen in to others.
Your "position" would be visible to everyone, so you could move around in the room and leave/join dicussions more natural.
This would be a replacement for we are all having lunch in the same room / company event.
Reminds me of second life ...
