Additional notes (post here to not flood the discussion below in the issue):
- We should also look into "usecase splitting", basically have clear entry pages for Moderators and Participants so they can learn/see only the bits they need.
- Articles with multiple use (e.g. Ban participants can be mentioned in both Conversations and Webinars) should be moved to separate article and linked
- Promote / mention mobile and desktop clients for Talk (to improve experience)
- Show link to user manual in Talk app
