Looks like still on Beta
The tool offer only:
1. Chat
2. Basic design
3. Audio
The issues:
1. Audio
Space issue, in one room maybe 10 people can get in to be able to be visible.
Open space your circle sound is limited.
2. Privacy issue, cant lock, cant limit spaces, everyone can see EVERYTHING.
Any embed, notes, links, any tool, or single feature can be seen everywhere without controlling them no matter of putting they or who can see them.
(for me it mean all the tools are useless)
The issue also everyone can put where ever they want, your space will look like a huge junk pile after a while.
3. Tools:
Sticky note, text size no control or responsive with the note size.
The board tool looks like a third-party tool that I need to sign, and also only a few features. (very basic)
Embed tool, not every site works, and their colors change via the Theme set.
Meet tool, you can not set up, need to do it over and over. (no option for multi-account)
Upload tool, cant control what type of files. (also guest can upload what ever)
The "location" has the option for "has separate audio zone" but has size limits.
What if I want to make a big meeting room or showroom for 50-100 people?
The same issue for your own audio circle limits voice/hearing if you doing it in an open space.
And the voice volume change when you go far from the source, I can understand that but not effective for UX. is a virtue space for improving UX!
The guest comes in and can see everything, what if it is my client and I dont want him to see what I am sharing with my board or notes or anything ...
And why does everyone needs to see everyone's notes or whatever everywhere,
for now, you have the control to delete everything even other users' placements on the space. Later you will need to ask them to delete the note from the middle of the screen...
do you understand what I mean... no space/room/area limitation. or privacy to see/hide the control.
Everyone can put or do anywhere whatever and everyone will see it.
No privacy or any kind of control, HUGE ISSUE, for now, I can't do anything besides using the chat and voice. (for me is just wait or to refund)
The roadmap has a long long list of basic features, no clue for EST.
If this is your concept to make a limitation (size/shape) border with a circle and everything is in the "open" I dont see any kind of use for me.
Each "location" is limited with circle size and shape. (limit the option of use with this virtual space.
Guest dont have any limitations besides time, and their names can be Guest...
You invite 10, if no one put their name you need to ask them..."WHO ARE YOU"
Guest can see all the features when are they logging why? they are not users...
Need to create onboarding for them or to have any basis of control.
This tool is far from being finished, we can just invest our money here and hope those features will come and the company will survive in the market...
