Hi everyone, I'm using Developer Edition. Some recent changes to Hello seem to have made it rather less useful, and have thrown away some of my data - can someone explain what's going on?
Firstly, I had a number of rooms. I had given the URLs to those rooms to various people I like to communicate with, including bookmarking one on the browser of a less techno-literate person. I open my Hello mini-window today to find them gone, and no way of creating new ones. Are all those links now dead? What user experience will someone have who clicks one? Instead of being able to create a new room, I apparently have to "Browse this page with a friend". I don't want to browse a page with a friend, I want to have an audio and video call. "Properly-secure Skype with an open source client and protocol" was an awesome software niche to fill, and I made (and hope to still make) a lot of use of it. I don't regularly have a desire for co-browsing, although I am happy to say it's a useful feature for when you need it. (Although desktop sharing is far, far more useful, as tech support is a primary use case for me.) In a previous set of changes, it seemed compulsory to share a web page. So I shared about:blank, and my interlocutor had the joy of a large area of useless whiteness, and a small postage-stamp me. This seems to have been fixed in the current build, in favour of not actually sharing any pages at all. At least, when I had my 1:1 with my boss, after clicking "Discuss this page with a friend" and sending him the link, no page sharing seemed to be going on. Can someone explain what's going on, where the Hello feature is going, and why we threw away what seemed to me, at least, like the most useful bits? :-) Thanks, Gerv _______________________________________________ dev-media mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-media
