Below we have collected some Teemyco "tricks" that users have come up with to maximize your office online.
- Transitioning: calendar reminders first 2 weeks for everyone to be online
- Morning drop-in: use the open workspace for good morning greetings pre 9am
- Home room per team: One room per team, making default room choice simple
- Joint playlist: our Spotify team playlist is open for anyone to add songs to and is pinned in the kitchen
- Calendar nudge: Using the Teemyco room-scheduling functionality triggers popup reminder & shows ongoing meeting to others (generates dial-in-link to web-version to the room)
- BRB: When leaving your spot just briefly, turning on video streaming
- Semi-availability: Creating a semi-focus-room besides the focus area & open workspace
- Social lunch: Optional calendar invites, on Thursdays at 12, meet in the kitchen, break into rooms of 2-3
- Friday Lunch & Learns: One Friday per month someone in the team shares a random learning session (about anything) with whoever feels like joining in and learning something new. Meeting in the kitchen
- Workshops: Create accounts for trusted your agency / investors, run workshops, break out into rooms, split into groups.
- Watercooler moment: Clicking the coffee button when feeling social and lonely (prompting notifications to un-busy colleagues)
- Afterwork: Optional social wind-down in "the Bar" from 5pm on Thursdays (in calendar too)
- Rotating Chief Fun Officer: Once pre month we second week we schedule a fun team activity, we met in the Bar. The responsibility for the session rotates.
- Evening cozyness: work with video on only to make late evening work more cozy
- Joint music: pin your team Spotify playlist into one of the rooms, co-listen
- External meetings in Teemyco: Clarify in room name which rooms are ok to share link to
- Move more, physically: Make sure to place your coffee machine far away, or purposely forget to plug in your power chord so you "have to" get up from your spot more frequently. When leaving Teemyco briefly, turned on video showing empty seat means BRB. Take voice-only-need meetings using Teemyco Web Beta (https://beta-app.teemyco.com/) from phone.
- Making video more natural: avoid the "you're muted", hear real reactions if leaving audio on in meetings of 7 ppl or less.
