Music! purely a nice-to-have feature, but it would be great to have some way to play music while people are going through the "reflect" phase and working independently on the call.

I play music from my computer when my team is adding reflections so that there is no awkward silence

I had an interview today with a guy who made a minecraft skin customizer.
He said, "the minecraft music was the theme song to my life". Really made me wonder, maybe we should invest in original 🎶 ?

I think that's a great idea! @jordanh started this brainstorm doc to figure out what type of mood. 🔒

I wish I could play some jeopardy music during our retros.

[drewhousman1010]

A user 🔒 just told me on a call that they would love to have an option to play music during retros.

[drewhousman1010]

A user 🔒 said they want music during retros, especially when they are facilitating meetings for higher level VPs and not just their usual teammates. The awkward silences when you are with executives you don't know are even more awkward!

A user 🔒 said they want music in their retros during the reflect phase. Not necessarily a Spotify integration but some background music, "even elevator music"
