Zoom should have features to automate the management of a queue of speakers. (Like the take a number machine at the DMV/bakery/etc.) Assigning numbers and keeping track of who comes next would be easy to automate. This would make hosting a song circle easier. It would also be useful in lots of other meeting formats (manage people giving testimony, handling people with questions, handling speakers at a round-table, ...). So seems like a generally useful feature. 1) Have you looked for a zoom plugin to do this? 1b) Did you find one (or find that there isn't one)? 2) If not found - has anybody looked at the API to see if the hooks are there so such a thing could be created? 3) Is there another online meeting program that is suitable for song circles which has this feature? (I ask about zoom just because a bunch of circles seem to use it. But there are lots of other meeting/chat/online jamming programs out there.) I started looking at the plugin list, but a lot of the items there are described in vague buzzwords so it is hard to tell what they do. A brief scan of the API seemed to be missing a lot of the functions I would expect to be there, but maybe I didn't dig deep enough. Asking in case others had already explored these possibilities. If nothing exists and the API won't support it, might be worth requesting zoom add such a feature.
