Hi,

When facilitating group sessions, it is often useful to see where there are areas of concentrated activity.

Activity could be moving something or it could be adding something. You might decided that people hovering in that area could be activity too (maybe they are too scared to move something but they are thinking about it)

In person, this is pretty easy to see and keep track of. Online it is much harder (in my experience anyway)

The Wish:

It would be great if you could allow me to trigger an overlay of where the hotspots are and allow me to reset it periodically. I can then change how I am facilitating based on that information in realtime.

For example:

In some types of workshop e.g. event storming, we often have hotspots of activity. This indicates to the facilitators that something ‘interesting’ happening. We might take that area to one side to explore more for example. Or maybe we are organising stickies on a matrix and the same sticky is being moved up and down by different people, indicating there is some disagreement which we might want to explore.
