Aw: Re: Re: A general Suggestion from a tester who'd like easier user experience with the software

Hi,

 

I would also have a few small suggestions for the design.

 

- The symbol and the text for leaving the room should be highlighted (in color?).

 

- The character > should be inverted in the chat bar. That would correspond to the same logic as with the new camera and microphone symbol.

 

- The color selection dialog should open near the tools properties window.
At the moment the color selection appears in the top left corner and makes long movements with the mouse.

 

- The icons in the toolbar could be a little bit smaler. They almost touch the chat bar. see attached screenshot.

 

But this should not slow down the release process.   ;-)

 

Regards Ed

Yes  this   would be  clearer.

One last idea - and I understand that I am just a tester / user of this and that it is your project in which I participate ( I also participate in spark, hadoop, nutch - i love apache projects), but since you asked, I would change the color of everythign that is "ON" or enabled to green and everything that is "OFF" to red - just like the traffic lights!  For what it's worth, and I have nothing against the color orange!

Hello,

This is better - personally I would color the camera and mic icons that are activated, so they look "ON" - (without the slash of course) - and to indicate the "OFF" status - it is fine - with the slash.

For example, when you hover over (or mouse over) the tiny speaker icon in the dragable user rectangle we see the orange-colored old-fashioned microphone  image pop-up - this is excellent. I would also have theat tiny speaker icon in the dragable user rectangle in orange to indicate its state is "ON" when it is on - the other two tiny icons (refresh and minimize) at the top of the dragable user rectangle are fine in grey since they are settings to change not states and users know what to expect with them.

This is my advice since you asked - I'm more concerned with fonctionality! It is working well.

One question - I have tested this extensively in Chrome adn I notice that if one sets the volume of teh microphone different than 50 (in the tiny icon in the dragable user rectangle) -each time I refres the user it si reset to level 50. Is this desired? Wouldn't it be better to keep the last user volumn settings through a "refresh" since users will most probably use the refresh to see or hear another user who may have changed the state of their camera and microphone. This is just an idea - it is OK as it is since it's easy to reset it.

Thansk for the good work. I'll test this on FF adn Edge and if there are any problems will reply again.

I experienced the same with these buttons. I had to read the tooltip also before clicking.

Well, for my part I agree with the suggestion provided by Ed. I think it 

is more intuitive. Maybe other users can contribute their opinion.

I think it is a good ideal to swap it.

Well

To implement this I need to swap 2 lines of code

No problem at all if community will approve this

Hello everyone,

I love this software 5.0.0 M3 (running on Ubuntu 18.04) with KMS 6.13

A few questions and an important suggestion:

1) I have been unable to install this on debian buster so that it works

well - can this be done? How? We'd like to be able to use this on buster.

2) When having inexperienced users test our M3 version (and when testing

the M4 version -the same problem exists):

The left-hand user column symbols for camera and microphone indicate to-do

action links, and I think they should indicate actual states - because this

is more intuitive and is what users expect.

So, I suggest instead of showing a microphone with a red circle with a

white "x" in it in M3 or an orange old-fashion mic symbol with a slash

through it in M4 to indicate that the mic is "ON" and that you have to

click on it to turn it "OFF", I suggest that exactly the opposite be shown:

the actual state of the feature - that a slash through a symbol (perhaps in

grey to double indicate it is off) indicates that it is "OFF" and a colored

on symbol or icon without a slash indicates that it is "ON"

The same suggestion for the camera.

95 % of user problems that I have encountered result from this. Users see

something with a slash through it and they think that means that it is

"OFF" or not activated. Why not give users what they expect intuitively

rather than force them to behave different than usual for this app?

I love this app/project, and this is just a friendly suggestion, not

criticism.

best to all

Ed
