Guests in BeZoned
Make it possible that you can invite guests into your BeZoned office. Guests as Teams regard them, and with the same rights and security.
Audio issues
Me and my coworkers are experiencing frequent issues with the audio. The most frequent is audio not reaching the people at the same table, sometimes one way but mostly both ways - I would be able to hear someone, but they cannot hear me. In most cases user icons will pulse orange and no audio connection seems present. The issue is really disruptive and occurs multiple times a day, and can require moving between tables or full restart to fix.
Microphone disconnecting
Me and another coworker have experienced our microphones stop working while sitting at one of the virtual desks in Bezoned. The microphone indicator in the button panel at the bottom of the window will change from its regular “green” state to a “loading” spinning icon that never finishes, as though the app is attempting to reconnect to the microphone. So far it has happened three times with about twenty-thirty minute intervals where it works fine. Our current method of fixing it is by restarting Bezoned - moving between tables have not been able to improve it.
Mic default setting on/off
We talked about this and wondered why not make the selected Default one you set, but also have it affect your Microphone default. Our Lounge atm is used also as a Lunch area where people can be away, Round table is for open talk and corner is for DnD. So if in our case, you join the round tabel, your mic will be set to on. If you join a Do Not Disturb, mic would be off (and maybe not able to turn on) while away is off when you join but able to turn on). Somewhat like Teams do with their rules on when you join a meeting with above X people mic is off by default.
More visible speaking aura
Make the aura more visible on the avatars when that person speaks e.g. style and color.
Getting kicked in Teams Web
If using the Teams web version then you automatically get kicked if not active in that browser for more than 45 minuts. Auto kick will be disabled when in Teams web version.
Two windows, wrong name
When we open BeZoned from Teams in a new window, that window is titled BeZoned, but when you open Lobby since the new update, it opens in another window titled Microsoft Teams, which is the window we have open at all times, which is confusing as we alt tab to “Microsoft Teams” for BeZoned and etc “Chat X” for Microsoft Teams windows and “BeZoned” is just Lobby selector.
"The Office" layout
One of the most famous Office layouts in the world, is probably the TV series The Office (US) 😆 It could be done as an Eater Egg satire kind of thing, having it as an option with the new office designs, without much legal trouble as no branding is needed. There is plenty of fan made 2D and 3D renderings of the layout online and it also have the benefit of already being made to be the “ordinary 9-5 office space” in the US, which includes the default department spaces, tabels etc.
New office designs
Pick from versions office designs for you current and new offices. There are different interior designs and sizes.
Cannot see other people after update
After newest update, other people’s icons do not show up around tables. Voice communication works fine, but there is no longer any visual representation of participants besides yourself. The problem persists through restart of the app.
Audio selection issues when returning from "Sleep Mode"
When you sit at a table in BeZoned, let your computer go to sleep, and then come back it it changes audio output to something other than what it was previously set to (even if previous settings was default settings). When staying at the table, in the ‘Devices’ settings in BeZoned it still has the correct settings selected, but just doesn’t seem to be using them. Even if you change the Speaker settings to something else and then back, it will not change where the audio comes from. It can be “resolved” by either restarting BeZoned or simply changing to another table and then back.
Graphical issue on user icons when they speak
Noticed this over the last few days on a Windows Desktop. This only seems to be an issue when the BeZoned window not full-screen.
BeZoned on Teams App
Before the audio stack change update, I was able to launch BeZoned on my Teams mobile App and join a table for handsfree tabel talk while driving. It seems after this update, the Mic is stuck forever refreshing without being able to connect. Seems like it just wont connect to either the car mic or the phones mic. Edit: Testet with normal headphones on bluetooth with phone and that works …

Background noise is audible
My colleagues and I are having an issue with background noise, like keyboard typing, being audible when sitting around a table. We all have noise suppression enabled in the Bezoned settings menu. The issue should be noticeable as soon as you swap between a Teams meeting and a table in the BeZoned office.
