There's a downside to the conference room angle; the camera is far away, and the image of the room occupies the same amount of space on my monitor as the seven other heads in the call who are calling in remotely.

So unless I know the voice of everyone in the conference room, I have no idea who's speaking at any given point unless they're also gesticulating wildly.

Oh, I know this one: your team’s too big.

I was in such a meeting yesterday where multiple participants were required by law to be each in same meeting from different computers in same room and with their mics and speakers on, and same law prevents use of conference room camera speakers and mic. There was a constant and annoying audio echo for everyone.

Get that law abolished ASAP, sounds ridiculous

That is a bonkers edge case that it never occurred to me would happen. I am glad to not be under those regulations

Because all the conference rooms were already booked.
