The operating angle is play, coaching, and storytelling roles for the same round.

Next: BubbleMatch or observe; mark the exit.
04
Brief privacy and contingency choices before opening. In a compact room or shared corner connected to a family reunion activity window, explain the webcam view before play and keep it separate from attendance, purchase, membership, student, health, or contact records.

If people arrive with different histories, confidence, and movement preferences; furniture, routes, and other people limit the footprint, pause the station before it interferes with the main purpose of a compact room or shared corner connected to a family reunion activity window. Switch to BubbleMatch or a no-camera explanation, keep the same marked zone, and stop cleanly.
