We're not too familiar with toastmasters (other than hearing that it's a great way to learn public speaking). Would you find this useful in the context of in-person or remote meetings or both?
And what would it be used for? Moving slides? Displaying / hiding the agenda? Sending lots of clap emojis?
Thanks!

Public speaking in general is best done standing but due to the pandemic, most toastmasters clubs end up using zoom for virtual meetings.
While many speakers do stand to deliver their speeches, it gets difficult to interact with the audience in a meaningful way when zoom is built around the expectation that people will be a foot away from computer camera.
Moving slides is a big thing that people can’t do today if they are standing to give a speech.
Your tech can help with Emojis and reactions.
Starting and stopping the timer is another useful feature that Toastmasters will use.
