Live Engineer Monitoring (April Fools)

[OneDollar]

For April Fools day the IT company I work for built a website where our clients could 'watch us solve their IT problems in real time'. April Fools day's over now, but I thought some AGSers might get a laugh out of it too:

Brilliant!

[Lasca]

Hilarious! Cam 1 is my favourite!

[Gurok]

I thought these were neat! Some great acting from the staff.

Thanks! We worked pretty hard on it (during lunch breaks and evenings, obviously )

[Snarky]

Yeah, this is great, and a perfect April Fools (in that it's a an amusing gag rather than an attempt to actually trick anyone). LOL!

[Cassiebsg]

Really nice one, best one I've seen so far.

[straydogstrut]

These are brilliant, well done! #1 is also my favourite

[ThreeOhFour]

Haha, excellent idea. I liked this a lot.

[selmiak]

this is great. No 4 is my favourite!

[Mandle]

HAHAHA hilarious!!!

Did you get any interesting feedback from customers?

[OneDollar]

Nothing much from our clients, although everyone seemed to like it. It did get posted on the sysadmin subreddit, and we got a lot of sysadmins identifying with one or more of the camera feeds though. Mostly camera 2

Haha, nicely done! I saw a similar thing on the JP:World website recently too. Yours are more humorous

Thanks! I've had the idea for years, Cyriak's Large Hadron Collider webcams were a pretty big inspiration:
