Up to 50 people
Up to 16 cameras on screen, whoever is talking first. Everyone else is heard and listed.
Screen share
Share the plan, a map or a sign-up sheet from a computer. Everyone can watch on a phone.
Leaders in charge
Ask one person or everyone to mute, remove someone, or end the meeting for everyone.
Reconnects by itself
If the signal drops, the meeting picks up again on its own. On a weak line, turning the camera off helps.
60 minutes a meeting
Everyone sees a warning 5 minutes before the end. A leader can start another right after.
One meeting at a time
Each group runs one meeting at a time, so everyone ends up in the same call.
Video minutes, in plain words.
A video minute is one person in a meeting for one minute. Ten people meeting for 30 minutes use 300.

Spring food drive
9 people here. Not recorded.
Private from the first tap.
Many groups have members under 18. Meetings are built for that.
Nothing is recorded
Meetings are not recorded or transcribed. What is said stays in the meeting.
Members only
Only signed-in members of the group can join, checked each time someone joins.
No names sent out
The service that carries the video sees a random code for each person, never a name or an email.
A quiet start
Cameras start off and mics start muted, so nobody is on screen by surprise.
Leaders can remove someone
A leader can take a person out of the meeting at once.
Leaders-only meetings
Start a meeting in the leaders channel and only leaders can join it.

Who can join?
Members of the group who can read the channel the meeting started in. A meeting started from an event or the Overview is open to the group’s members. Nobody outside the group can get in.
How many people can join?
Up to 50 people. Up to 16 cameras show at once, whoever is talking first, and everyone else is heard.
How long can a meeting last?
Up to 60 minutes. Everyone sees a warning 5 minutes before the end, and a leader can start a new meeting right after while the group has minutes left.
Are meetings recorded?
No. Nothing is recorded or transcribed.
What is a video minute?
One person in a meeting for one minute. Ten people meeting for 30 minutes use 300 video minutes. Minutes you do not use do not carry over to the next month.

Can I share my screen from a phone?
Screen share works on computers. On a phone you can watch a shared screen, talk and use your camera.
Can we use our own video app instead?
