The virtual office is the best to work when we are away from physical office and it gives the feel of we are working from office only. Meeting the team is a incredible one.

It may not be ideal for presenting slides or other visual aids since the platform is focused on social interaction rather than presentations. Also, there is no live transcription feature, which could be an issue for the deaf or hard of hearing.

The ability to connect in a seamless way through video or messaging, but in a way that feels more personal mid pandemic

No complaints so far. They are continuing to add features and I'd love to see a way where we can share and collaborate on a document in real time (or maybe I've missed that and they already have it)
