Has BBO considered adding an Audio feature to teaching tables? I would be delighted if you did. It would be extremely useful for teaching. I suspect many bridge teachers and students would happily pay a moderate hourly charge for audio conferencing at teaching tables.

If fact, we have considered this seriously enough that it is quite likely (but not certain) that you will see this feature introduced within the next month or two. Of course you will need to use the web-client if you want to be able to access it.

Furthermore, I think it is likely that we will eventually introduce voice-chat at all tables, but I cannot really predict when that might happen. Our current semi-plan is to see how things go with teaching tables first.

Fantastic. :) Maybe you could add partnership bidding tables early on too.
