Description

Hi,

would it be possible to let users change the user icon to provide instant status feedbacks like

  • "I can not here you"
  • "I'm confused"
  • "I'm bored"
  • "I need help"
  • "I'm convinced (by what you say)"
  • "I'm sceptical"
  • "I agree/disagree/have no opinion about that"
  • "I have a question"

?

I know that you could create channels for such feedbacks and let the users just join the channels but the idea is: Giving a lecture the users can directly indicate what the lecturer would normally see by facial expressions.

Thx for Mumble!
