I have a home office and sometimes my wife will come busting in with the kids being silly. It's not a big deal but I would like some sort of indication for outside the room for when I am in a meeting.

This seems more designed for shared working spaces which seem limited these days

Just tape a piece of paper to the door that says "IN MEETING". On my kids this is about 75% effective.

That said, other people's kids busting is my favorite part of zoom meetings.

I've communicated the 'meeting' thing, but now the way it goes is:

barge in

> are you in a meeting?

No matter what I was previously doing, now I'm distracted... if anything, it's easier to re-focus during a meeting than during deep work
