Video conferencing apps:

Competition is great. It just sucks when you have to use all the competition.

Things I want to be able to do:

- Test Mic and Audio before joining the call, BOTH DAMN IT (some do do this, some just one or the other).

- No fiddling in settings to do test / change settings. I want to know / test every damn time before I join ...

- and it would be great if it forced everyone to test too ;) (obviously some complications there if folks are joining and don't intend to talk)

Things I to see all the time on the app, don't hide this shit, and GOD DAMN IT DON'T AUTO HIDE IT:

- Is my mic muted or not.
- Is my mic broadcasting sound or not.

I've been lucky enough to not have any terrible dork ups using these apps but man they seem to invite it by hiding stuff.

    Most of the time is spent on checking if my mic is muted or not and it keeps hiding a second or two later. Is it that hard to draw a muted (or not) icon that is clearly visible all the times?

    @asgs I totally agree, I need to know whether I can quietly ignore the meeting and write code

    @AkshayTolwani Gnerally the OS settings 'work' but each app sometimes has its own settings for audio and microphone .... that can differ from the OS :(
