Included in the hybrid party

Discuss how to make your hybrid social gatherings as inclusive as possible: consider having in-person attendees sit in separate rooms so everyone joins on equal terms, ensure everyone focuses on the same screen and camera, and choose a shared screen-based activity such as a quiz or a simple game.
When you are part of a team, you can suggest this exercise to the team.

Discuss: which channels should be synchronous, and which should be asynchronous?
