What do you think of my virtual personal office?

    This is actually pretty rad honestly. I love the overall feel and design of it. Here are my thoughts around it:

    1. Honestly, I felt there was a bit of a lag in the video. It could be my internet connection because I joined from two different devices.
    2. Love the vibe going around with the whole office looking kind of interface. I think if you want to innovate, bunch of things can be done like allowing to change the background office setup/image, and additionally, being able to move the video circle that sits on the chair. Can also try and create waiting rooms.
    3. If you can make the things in the office more interact-able. Like if you click on the book shelf, then the latest article that I have read opens in a new tab. Just a basic idea. Can do better.

    Since you use Twilio SDK, I'd love to know the things you love about it as well as the limitations you are facing. I work for a company called 100ms and we provide live audio-video SDKs that enable devs to add powerful, extensible, scalable, and resilient audio-video features into their apps with half a dozen lines of code.
    We actually wrote a comparison blog and would love your feedback on the same seeing that you actually use Twilio SDK. This will really help.

      Indeed, there are commercial and open source alternatives to Twilio. For the latter, self-hosting can work to your advantage if you're willing to take the DevOps burden.

      Options include:

    Sup,

    I want to show you the virtual personal office (VPO) my team made. It's like a personal Zoom meeting but looks and feels like an office which you can also decorate with pictures/gifs.

    The link above is the link to my personal office, so come in, don't be startled, and say hi. You can also create your own VPO for free on our website at https://convync.com/. I would love to hear what you think and how this can be improved.

    As companies shift to hybrid work, remote workers may be at a disadvantage compared to their in-office counterparts. The VPO would give those remote employees an "in-office" presence by making them more accessible to others. Workers will be able to say impromptu, “I’ll be in my office” without the hassle of having to schedule a call.

    Convync was built using Twilio's video SDK. We also have an alternate version using our self-built webRTC infrastructure, but that one's super janky and can't scale to more than 6 people concurrently, and screen sharing doesn't work properly across browsers.

    Anyways, come hang out in my office!
