I agree. Even after approving the camera and mic, the way it was presented makes it seem like the camera is only going to be used for controlling the emoji. But that isn't the case, the camera video is shown to other people.

I feel like there shouldn't be a #public room. It is basically Chatroulette.

Thanks for the feedback! I will update it with a screenshot (you can see ones I've put on my github at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/souramoo/party/master/publ...

You can turn your camera off once you're in a room too - I actually made this to try and host my birthday party next month where it would be nice to see everyone :)

I think the idea is really great for private parties. Zoom and similar conferencing systems don't work well because either everyone is the same volume and it is just loud noise, or it mutes everyone but the loudest person, which kills lively conversations.

I really like the idea of being able to mingle, and "walk" around to chat with different groups, all at the same party.
