Feature idea: use the webcam to project the watcher's image/body onto the instructor's. Then with some computer vision magic, gamify how close your workout matched the instructor's workout.

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
Screen sharing videos on zoom had never been a great experience. I think the difference is that everybody is streaming the YouTube video here individually.
+1 I get about 3FPS when sharing a youtube video across zoom screenshare edit: on a very highspeed symmetric connection.

#24I bought a projector just to make my fitness videos life size on the wall. It sounds lame but it has helped my mental health. Adding the video conference element is a really great idea. Now I just have to find the best place to mount a webcam.

Not crazy at all. This is where the industry is going anyway. For example "Tonal" is a work out machine that attaches to the wall, with a large video screen (probably larger in the next generation version). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdV2U6NxVUY Regarding your wall projector, it would be cool to have a camera project your image onto the instructors. Then some computer vision magic to grade how close you matched…
Just because a company offers a product that does something new and different does not equate to where the industry is truly going (as much as founders/CEOs may wish otherwise).
It's more about where the customer/consumers are going...yes you can lead them to an extent, but on that note are products like Tonal actually selling and if so, what clip and density?
I would ask for evidence of adoption of something (beyond just the mere fact it exists) to support the "where the market is going" type of thinking...
