2021 will demand new kinds of video conferencing

As for the connection issues, we were all next to each other at a conference room table, not an issue of proximity. I was able to hear the person at first, then they cut off and didn’t come back, even after reloading the page it seemed but I only tried once and then gave up to be honest :p

FWIW the person I could no longer hear was located across the globe, so maybe that’s related.

I apologize for not having a more thorough write up of what happened, but it was certainly a real issue.

There's no need to apologise ... it's perfectly reasonable that you should say something short and clear, but not in complete depth. Your elaboration gives me useful information ... thank you.

It does sound like it was a real issue ... have you provided feedback to Gather.Town? Perhaps it is related to the speaker being across the globe, and they could find that useful, even if anecdotal. It's still a data point, pointing at a potential underlying problem.

Regardless, thanks for the reply. (and NRN)
