I’ve been working at a fully distributed company for 3 years and I can tell you with a high degree of certainty that none of my 700+ coworkers will ever use something like this. You may find some traction now with companies abruptly transitioning to remote work and not having a clue how to get work done without being in an office, but long term, I’m a sceptic.

I can tell you, however, that I would absolutely consider using this at home: my wife spends at least 3 hours a day on video calls with her family back home and it took some time to get her elderly parents accustomed to Smartphones, messenger/whatsapp, etc. they’ll start a video call on messenger and just keep it on for hours while doing their shores or whatever. An always on device, especially if you add in remote management, would be useful. Another use case is kids. Right now most schools are doing distance learning and loosing the social aspect is certainly going to hurt. This could allow them to stay connected while doing homework, craft, or even playing video games without having to start meetings.

I think this is a good idea, my only advise would be to try other growth channels besides startups.

Makes sense! We're also looking for other markets to expand into so that's really helpful.

I think this subscription pricepoint would be a big turnoff for 'home use', especially when you are competing with free facetime that fills the gap well enough.
