Collaborate in Lisbon (No Matter Where You Happen To Be)

Productions are starting to work out how to return to set in the safest manner possible and we've been considering how we can help smoothly integrate remote crew into your production.

Here's a 50 second video of one way it might work:

We've made some sample packages below for both single channel (where all remote participants are on one channel) and multi-channel (where remote participants can speak to different groups), but this is only the start of the conversation. We'd love to hear what problems you’re trying to solve, solutions you're using, features you miss, or any other thoughts about all of this.
