@siddhita_upare Thanks, Siddhita!

Did you guys remove the feature where you used head tracking to keep the face constantly in the center of the circles? Tried the app a few weeks ago and missed this from your previous demos.

@andreekeberg Hmmm, so we definitely still have the auto face-zoom in the app. Can you send an email about the issue to feedback@around.co? Would love to hear more. Thanks!

@around @dominikbalogh Hi Dominik. I meant to update this comment actually, since I noticed that it really is there - just like you say, however it's orders of magnitude slower than in the examples on the website. Don't know if that's by design or just a temporary thing, but it's something both me and my teammate experienced.

@around @andreekeberg That's helpful feedback! We've definitely had to adjust the level of zooming because we received other feedback that it could be too much/too quick for some viewers, however, we are working on a solution for this long-term.

Would love to use this, or something like it. Do you have a plan for a linux client?

@cyberneticdave We sure do! It's on the roadmap for this year :)

Have been an early user and I really love it. One thing to improve is the screen sharing performance: at the moment I find it slower than other platform. I would like to say the team is great but I never received an answer following my articulate feedbacks :(

@antonia_cassoli Thanks, Antonia! We are continually working on improving the screen sharing performance. Our apologies for missing your previous email - our COO has since responded and we really appreciate all of your thoughtful feedback.

I am so blown away by Around. The early-adoption is seamless and the UI is incredible. We're definitely adopting this for our team at Basewell. Can't wait to host more video calls with Around 2.0!

@dominikbalogh love the product and the idea of binging the video call to float on the desktop ... makes life easy for brainstorming sessions. Congratulations on the launch of Around 2.0

Been using it since they opened the beta, it's an amazing platform.

Keep on going! Opening around has become a daily remote work routine for us. Looking forward to what's upcoming.

I really like Around. It frees up the space on your desktop. I feel clutter free.
