Thanks for sharing, I totally agree the inability to have a side conversation on video call makes group conversations so unnatural & zoom fatigue is a big issue!

Just out of curiosity, would your perspective about talking to someone change if this interaction was just a 2 person conversation? And if you could not look at a screen (ie audio or more low-tech phone call)?

Honestly, I have a cell phone with video calling capabilities and thanks to work I have zoom and slack installed on it. Also WhatsApp for communicating with family in other countries, and my work computer has FaceTime. I can't imagine what your app would bring that isn't covered by one of these.

Which is not to say that you shouldn't just build it anyway. Much like slack and zoom, your real customers probably aren't people like me, but companies that want to adopt the technology to fill the office-culture-sized whole in all our hearts. And much like those apps, even if people like me don't like the experience, it's startups start adopting it, people use it
