Does it make sense for you to develop this feature further? Justify your opinion.
yes. it is a big teamtalk replacer. although teamtalk is more functional and it has it's independent client, but elten's conferences are realy free. you must not pay for servers. to make a server in tt you must pay monthly!
It's fine for me as it is now!Railwayguy
More features are nice, but keeping it simple is also important.
yes, because i know many people who like conferences and voice calls
Obviously does. The idea is great and there would be no point throwing it away.
Yes, it does. If we also get mobile clients involved, I see this feature as having a lot of potential.
Yes, for us we are fine, although needs more development.
I'm extremely new here, but I do find it useful. the idea of just moving away from someone you don't like, well, that's priceless.
yes, because it has potential
yes
yes, if it stops giving me horrible feedback when I don't use a headset.
yes, definitely.
not sure
yes, certainly.
Yes, because it have the big potential
It depends on if people will continue to use it.
Yes, it makes sense for me because 1., if there are going to be more features implemented to this, more people will use it and I think that elten conferences are really a step forward from other conferences applications like TeamTalk.
It really makes sense, especially in regard to if this is still developed elten mobile. How ever some features are needed like for an example, an automated notification when someone joins a converence room so you don't have to look up all the time.
yes
Sometimes there are transmit interruptions because of buffering I think.
yes, you can ad much to it. And there could be a mobile conference client for elten.
I would say that yes, it does make sense to keep developing this. Nothing is perfect and everything, including these conferences, can be improved upon.
idk, i don't use it anyway so,
personally the confrances systems great, and it iwll be cool if you can add ambiences and upload them to be reviewed before being submited, so that people may download packs of them and put them inside their calls, with adjustable volume control.
yes.
Na.

Objects in channels: interesting, useful or climatic issue, or a waste of time? Justify.
objects are great. and i also want to make moving objects. you just right how it moves with this sintax this object will move in 8 by 8 square. startposition=0 0 new line. move 8 8,2000 new line. move 0 8,2000 new line. move_to_start_position.
Waist of time!Railwayguy
That sounds a bit too much like some kind of game. I think priority should be given to real chat functions.
It is rather an original feature and think it can be both fun and useful when not abused.
Interesting
Haven't seen them yet, but they sound awesome.
intresting but should add more than just fire place
nice idea.
they are very interesting, and I'd like to see more forms of entertainment too.
waste of time as it doesn't enhance usability.
interesting
useful
For me it's a climatic issue and i will send more sounds to add to the new version.
I think it is interesting.
I think it's a waste of time. We're not gonna have a conference just because we want to here people in binoral are we?
This would be a really interesting thing to experience.
1
it is very funny!
I think the objects in channels is an interesting concept. It can really bring life to a channel if you've got, say, a fire crackling in the background and you're having a fireside chat of some sort.
idk what you mean
if sund designs great, I think it's a great adition.
cool.
waste.
What is your opinion of surround sound (HRTF)?
hrtf is great. 3d sound is really great, and i thaught of that conferencing programs with 3d sound
Undetermined!Railwayguy
I have no experience withit.
good. i like it
I am not sure whether the problem was on my or the Elten's side, but in any case HRTF didn't sound correctly when I tried it, the sound would become mono and all the sounds would turn very quiet when moving around in the channel space. Hence I'm not fully authorized to answer this question, though I like the idea a lot as long as it's functioning the way it's supposed to.
It works pretty great, excepting the situation where someone comes in and starts moving all around instead of properly tralking to others. This is where a banning system would be handy.
Fantastic! Nothing wrong me
really neat
verry, verry good in my apinyon.
is really good
thebest
Wonderful when using headset.
it's a cool thing!
I love the idea
My computer is too weak for this feature but sometimes it works properly.
I like it.
I mean, it's not bad. you can have fun with it enabled sometimes. but most of the time I eather forget that it exists or don't use it at all.
I like it, but I don't like that an audio file can only be plaied mono.
I have not tested it yet.
f
Nice feature but not so important.
Thats good. I always just use that
HRTF is definitely cool and I think it should continue to exist for those who use it.
it would be awesome i suppose
I love it!
could use some work, but I generaly don't mind it unless the users panning eccessivly
cool
okaay.
What is the biggest unmentioned asset of Elten conferences?
i think it is conference multiplayer games. people can play with eachother and talk
No idea!Railwayguy
The overall concept of a virtual room with various possibilities is fun. I personally look forward to the new ideas already present in the latest beta versions. It is nice to have an opportunity to meet people all over the world in one place, without having to care about server addresses, with crystal clear sound and simple interface.
Nothing. It's fine as it is.
hmmm, that's a hard one
IDK
good
it's much better than a text chat.
no idea
not sure with this question
Anything is in one program. Private messages, blogs and forum.
People get to meet new friends and hear what each others voice sounds like.
The biggest advantage is the fact that audio is actually good, and also that we have channel messaging.
f
Using a pair of headfones
idk
Ease of use.
the card deck is cool. and their should be game rooms.
dk
What is the biggest unmentioned disadvantage of Elten conferences?
i cannot block users from rolling million dices. i want a feature that blocks user from dice rolling if he holds ctrl+d. block for 5 seconds. also i want an antispam. people must not send 10 messages in a second in the chat!
No idea!Railwayguy
no kicking people out
that they are not simple.
Feedback when using no headset.
no idea
not sure with this question
If there are too many people in a channel, it can be hard for some people to deal with.
For me, the biggest and only disadvantage is the fact that you can't record conferences in the free package.
f
having to use headphones.
idk
some times users can move around onthe stereo field and I have to chase them, but most of them are troles.
dk
Do you have any other unmentioned suggestions?
all of the features in the question which features must be implemented, they all must be definately in conferences.
No!Railwayguy
The most significant problem (regarding functions) that I can think of at the moment is the lack of spam protection. Right now it might not seem as urgent, but sooner or later it will. There's always someone who decides to make your life more enjoyable by abusing the chat, placing objects across the channel space etc. Banning users from channels is the first and basic way of preventing this, but it probably shouldn't be the end. Good luck with developing the conferences and have fun with the project.
All the suggestions present in thatlist are good. Sad that I can't vote more of them. I'd also love to see permanent channels, so that I can create a comunity for my language, sounds of walls and steps that would be able to be uploaded by users that create a certain channee, webcam support for sighted users like me, etc. Don't have a lot of them in my mind now.
Not at the moment.
