Seeing a well-dressed person dancing with the superimposed image of cat dancing and the text "PARTY" along with lots of bright colors and the word "FUN" made me reach for the little "x" button within seconds of opening your website.

Others may have different preferences.

The rest of the landing page seems squarely geared at educators giving lessons via video calls.

With that in mind I think the landing page set a good tone for what and who they're trying to sell to, and that doesn't include "meetings between peers in a professional context"

You get it just right! I guess the HN title I use is a bit confusing. Actually it's based on some of our initial users suggestions, they used the app as business-oriented and suggested that there are quite some creative ways to apply it.

I share the same sentiment, however I scrolled through and I feel this is the experience that we are heading towards in meetings. Excuse the memes there, but ability to blend multimedia in meetings can help a lot.

I conduct webinars every month and I would love to have the ability to play soft background music easily during intervals or fire up a PiP video from youtube or my file system through my webcam. The technology has always been there to virtualize cameras, just hidden behind complex tools like OBS. I hope this segment of tools evolves and becomes the norm.

So I hope you enjoy the tool!!! If you're open for us to connect and learn from your experience, it will be wonderful. My email is [e-mail]

Same here. I think these effects could get annoying super fast and turn many meetings into memetings.

[surihae93]

Yeah, I can imagine...

HN may be generally curmudgeonly. But at least it comes with a sense of self awareness.

It looks like this is targeted at Zoom calls with students. I suspect they'll find this more appealing.

That’s a good thing. If you’re not the intended audience they save on their resources and your time.

I’d call that a win-win and not worthy of a critique.
