"BRB" Feature Suggestion (Webex)

zjefferi — Fri, 24 Jul 2020 19:50:52 GMT

Note: I'm not sure this is the right place for new feature suggestions; let me know if I should move it.

Feature Suggestion:

A "BRB" (Be Right Back) indicator in Webex meetings to indicate the brief unavailability of an attendee.

Use case:

Meeting attendee steps away from computer running webex. They can enable the "BRB" indicator to let other meeting attendees know that they are currently unreachable.
Meeting attendee briefly joins a second meeting simultaneously. Uses "BRB" to indicate brief unavailability.

Alternate naming:

"BRB" (Be Right Back)

"AFK" (Away From Keyboard)

I will love to see this feature. Even going to the bathroom or open the door, especially while working from home, allows communicating to the rest of the team without interrupting a conversation. It is also useful when someone needs to answer a phone call or attend someone. I see it as an equivalent to temporarily leaving a meeting room, everybody in the room sees you leaving the room.
