miingl works best when everyone helps create a calm, respectful, and human space.
This guide covers a few simple etiquette practices that make sessions feel better for everyone—whether you’re listening, speaking, clustering, or just being present.
miingl is built around presence and choice.
Unlike traditional video calls, people can:
Listen without speaking
Talk without interrupting
Move between conversations freely
Good etiquette helps preserve that flexibility while keeping shared spaces comfortable and focused.
When a broadcast is happening in the venue, participants should stay muted.
This helps:
Keep the broadcast clear
Prevent background noise from interrupting
Make it easier for everyone to follow along
If you want to talk during a broadcast, you don’t have to interrupt.
Instead, you can:
Move into a cluster
Talk with others privately
Continue hearing the broadcast at the same time
Clusters let you discuss what’s happening without disrupting the main space.
While you’re clustered, you can adjust the broadcast volume independently.
This allows you to:
Lower the broadcast while you talk
Raise it again when you want to listen closely
Stay engaged without choosing between listening and speaking
Use volume controls to balance attention rather than muting completely.
miingl is about presence.
Seeing faces helps people:
Decide which conversations to join
Feel less isolated
Connect more naturally
Silent avatars make it harder to know who’s available or engaged. While cameras are never required, keeping yours on whenever possible supports the experience for everyone.
If you’re in a noisy environment:
Mute yourself when you’re not speaking
Unmute only when you want to talk
This applies in both:
The venue
Clusters
Reducing background noise helps conversations feel calmer and more respectful.
Many of the usual video call guidelines still apply on miingl:
Avoid talking over others
Give people space to finish speaking
Be mindful of your surroundings
Keep side conversations in clusters, not the venue
Step away or mute if you need to handle something off-screen
miingl adds flexibility, but courtesy still matters.
miingl is designed to support:
Curiosity
Movement
Human connection
There’s no expectation to perform, dominate, or always be “on.” Thoughtful participation—listening when appropriate and engaging when it feels right—creates the best experience for everyone.
