We tried something like this in 2014 so our remote graphics designers would feel like they’re more in the office. It was a small team of 10 in the office plus 3 remote.

Everyone HATED it. Having a camera actively on you all the time is incredibly unsettling. We ended that experiment really quick.

Thanks for the data point! It's definitely not for everyone, but the teams that actually need to be in the same room really love Sidekick.
