George, I'm testing version 2.1 and did not know that now the list and rooms may appear like Dashboard. I also do not know how easy it could be to adjust the camera. The popular Skype has a setting more complicated than OpenMeetings. But I do not collectpersistents users' negative reports about this routine. I think the interface has OM flux problems, highlighting some issues relevant to the detriment of priority functions. For example, in everyday usage logging is unnecessary repetitive and also the default presentation in the first half of the dashboard. These two points are already solved with the "remember me" and now with displaying lists of rooms instead of traditional dashboard. As I said in another e-mail, I think the LAMS has a great flux interface. I suggest a review of it to help eliminate the excesses in the OM GUI.
