I had thought about that in the past, but seeing it in this thread really resonated with me. For meetings with a mix of SF and remote folks, I am starting to think that it would be better for all the SF folks to scatter and use individual computers to join the hangout. It would avoid cross-table talk, and would put the facilitator in a position to have equal access to all participants. It would also avoid risk of conference room echo. It is extreme, and probably wouldn't be feasible much of the time. But it does have appeal, and I might look for opportunities to experiment with it. At a minimum, I'll probably try harder to use my own laptop rather than conference room A/V when I end up being the only SF participant in a meeting. Kevin
