   I don't know man, I think I am not the right audience for this. I think online meetings are fine as is, I want to spend less time on them and more time connecting in real life.

   I have been working remotely for a decade now, with fully remote teams, and we never felt the need for a deeper bonding in the form of work meetings that are more casual.

   That said, if we want this kind of experience, online gaming already gives us that. I see lots of members of the team hanging out by discord and in gaming platforms.

   Looks cool, but I don't want it. That's just my opinion.

      HRTF spatialized audio should make your meetings shorter through more efficient communication. It's not about "bonding". For example in a traditional online meeting, it's very difficult to interrupt/interject but than can be done naturally with good spatial audio.

         Most meeting software nowadays has a “queue” system which lets you put your hand up. I think that has been a perfect solution to me. In large calls you also have moderators and mute controls.
