and a always-paying-attention operator (for each room) to know when to switch - potentially adding significantly to the cost fwiw - standing in a place where you can be seen by the camera so that the remote experience is better without having to dedicate a camera operator to each room seems a very very small price to pay Scott > On Jul 24, 2015, at 12:48 PM, Bob Hinden <bob.hinden@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > >> On Jul 24, 2015, at 12:33 PM, Brian E Carpenter <brian.e.carpenter@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> On 24/07/2015 22:23, Adrian Farrel wrote: >> ... >>> A proposal... >>> Could Meetecho please just zoom out. >>> >>> Alternative proposal... >>> Make the pink box a guide for speakers who want to be in frame, but stop telling >>> us that we MUST stand in the box. >> >> Also, we *really* need a repeater screen so that the person speaking can see >> the slides without eyes in the back of his/her head.

Currently the video is only of the slides and a small view of the speaker. Unfortunately, when someone comes to the microphone, you don’t get to see them speak. It would be much better if one could see them when they talk. This might require panning the main camera, or a second camera (and I guess a second “pink square”). > > Bob > >> >> Brian >> >
