This looks truly amazing!

One thing I did notice is that I can't type when you were doing your demonstration stuff - perhaps some visual indicator of 'who has control' so I know when I can and can't use the site would be useful.

Looking forward to it.




Thanks!

Yes, we are planning to add something like that. Right now the visual indicator is an hour glass (cursor) but we will make it more visible in someway.

We could even use the favicon trick on top of that, I think Gmail uses it to show the number of unread messages.


I'd suggest something more obvious than that. A colored bar below the video image, or a big icon floating at the lower right. This is a new style of interaction, and it will help to reduce confusion by being very obvious about the state of things.

Thanks.


nods I like the floating icon idea.

Thanks for the suggestion.
