Adam, we talked about this and it seems like showing some kind of stats with
how many times the attendants have been in the room would help seeing who has
participated more and who less. Would that be reasonable?

  

We've tried it out today in a long meeting and it was definitely helpful (i
monitored the queue, and it helped people queue for talking without disrupting
the current conversation).

  

We also found that the sounds are pretty disruptive, so we've added a mute
button so that we can show it on the meeting screen and in remotes that are
talking without bothering everyone. I want to get around to lowering the
volume of the sounds, or disabling them by default. They don't seem as useful
as we anticipated.

Thanks!

I can't wait to test it in a real meeting. Maybe I'll use TPG as guinea
pigs...

a mean user can probably easily crash the server, I'm assuming good faith for

use individual computers to join the hangout.

you to sit at your desk being noisy participating in a hangout, and that rules
out a large part of the office. I've done this before myself from the fifth
floor collab space, where there are no permanent desks and some semi-private
areas, but you cannot guarantee the availability of those spaces. When I was
remote I often wondered why more people didn't do this, but when I moved to
the office, I started to appreciate the difficulties with it.
