Around is a lightweight video collaboration tool that floats on your desktop, perfect for things like design sessions, brainstorms, and code reviews. Available for download. Now comes with EchoTerminator.
This is a really cool take on video conferencing. It felt fun and the auto-focusing and noise cancellation tech are really nice and solve two really painful points of video conferencing. The automated notes email is also a really nice automation of a typical followup email that someone at the meeting would be responsible for in the past.
On a critical note I did feel the website landing page really distracting and not nearly as compelling as it could be. Garry's pitch in the video here, with everyone in the same room having a conference call and chatting, is so much more compelling IMHO. Echo in tele-conferencing is a huge pain point. Feels like you're burying the lede.
But still this is amazing work, very cool, and much needed.
@mikecostanzo Thank you for trying out Around, Mike! Appreciate your feedback re: the landing page as well and we'll be updating our messaging in the future. :)
Cool stuff. I've used Circles for Zoom for a while now and the out of the way interface is key to getting actual work done. Looking forward to seeing where you can take this concept in a standalone product.
