Today I am thankful for #inclusive training I ran into that talked about the power of the #RaiseHand feature in #teleconferencing solutions.

It's trivial to do, but it wasn't part of the welcome package when I went fully remote.

I set myself a goal, and with my new habit, I am seeing expanded discussion and more #diversity of #voices in my #collaborations.

Yes, I am patting myself on the back for mastering a basic courtesy.

But we need to talk about these tools to expand their impact.

Design Milk : Google’s Holographic Project Starline Adds a New Dimension to Working From Home https://design-milk.com/googles-holographic-project-starline-adds-a-new-dimension-to-working-from-home/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=googles-holographic-project-starline-adds-a-new-dimension-to-working-from-home #teleconferencing #workfromhome #Technology #homeoffice #videocalls #hologram #Google #Main #WFH #AI

So… silly question for those who do #teleconferencing, etc… working in an open-plan office…

I had a Logitech Zone Wireless… it was great until the microphone failed. I'd like something similar, boom mic (preferably right-side), wireless, BT compatibility (with mSBC wideband HSP). USB dongle is a nice-to-have but not essential.

Personally, I'd rather buy a *wired* #headset with the form factor I like, and plug it into something that will do the "wireless" link.
