👥 Crosstalk

Remember lunchtime group conversations with your team? In-person conversations are dynamic, spontaneous, with sub-conversations forming and re-forming fluidly. Now you can have these flexible group conversations with our Crosstalk feature!

To start a crosstalk, click on the button in the top-left of your teammate's video:

You'll still hear the main conversation, but at a lower volume. Moving between Crosstalk sub-conversations is easy - just click on who you want to talk with. Each Crosstalk will be assigned a random colorful emoji to help tell them apart.

We've found crosstalk game-changing for virtual happy hours, co-working, and breakout conversations after standup!

Here's a quick video demo:

👋 Wave

Like a quick wave in real-life, Tandem waves are multi-purpose. Use it to greet your teammates, like a "Hello!" or "Good morning." Or use wave to let them know you're free to talk. If a teammate waves at you and you aren't free at the moment, you can do a friendly wave back and catch up later.

Here's another way to use wave: If you're in a meeting and realize it could be nice to include a teammate, but isn't critical, wave at them to let them know they're invited to listen in.
