Availability sensing for Zoom meetingsDetect whether the user is infront of the computer, if they aren't, the camera and audio is disabled after a timeoutWith the COVID-19 restrictions, most people have been confined to homes and professionals have to hold meetings via meeting tools such as Zoom, Teams etc. However, working from home isn't easy when you have to balance the home life while meetings are going on. Sometimes, people would have to leave the meetings unexpectedly (especially mothers) and would forget to mute the mics and turn the cameras off. As a result, the meeting would be disturbed from any noise and visuals. and embarrassing situations could occur. Present! removes the hassle of worrying about the camera and mic. It turns the camera and mics off if there isn't anyone in the vicinity. Show less
