I don’t know what we’ll do when we have over 6 people per virtual team, but I have to agree with Dave. I’ve really enjoyed seeing the faces of the people I work with virtually. If you work with remote teams I highly recommend checking out ooVoo! We use it every day for our stand-up.
Now I have proof people are wearing shirts to work… pants I still don’t know for sure about, but shirts are now required to work for Telligent.

And nowhere is that more apparent than in our daily stand-ups. And how does a team hold daily stand-ups when everyone is remote? Like this:
Sure, it looks like a geeked out version of the Brady Bunch, but it works really, really well. ooVoo supports up to 6 people connecting into the same video conference, and the quality is quite good for both video and audio. Every now and then you’ll notice a slight delay or hiccup in the audio and/or video, but it’s nothing major and never lasts for more than a moment.
