Almost all of the meetings I attend are video off - outgoing, and video off - incoming.
It's partly because I don't want to chew up heaps of data looking at heads... and they don't need to look at mine for hours.
I also live in a marginal reception area with a lot of congestion, and if the videos are turned on, it can make the connection drop out.
So the benefit of running audio only is twofold.
What I would like is to run a locked in audio only.
I can listen to the meeting and type and all that at the same time.
But the bloody hosts keep on throwing up "Screen Sharing" and I hate it because I am usually typing a great deal and concentrating hard when the screen sharing pops up.
I'd really like to see the function of a straight audio only incoming and outgoing feed. AND I'd like to be able to LOCK OUT the host doing their screen sharing... because I hate the function frequently interrupting me while I work.
Thanks.
