This presumably wouldn't occur where there is unlimited PTO because there is no liability accruing.

They connect to phone and laptop simultaneously which is handy. And they have a busy indicator on the headset which I've waited years for. Rotating the microphone boom up mutes them which is also useful. Not noise cancelling microphone though so probably not suitable for noisy environments.

Presumably it would require some coding by you to only display content once the test is passed by the client. I am not affiliated with CloudFlare in any way.

A customer is in the process of implementing (Tokyo version?) it and it seems to have an intuitive, responsive UI. I'm judging it against Atlassian and Oracle EBS so I have low expectations.
