Problem
Modern organizations struggle to understand the true effectiveness of their meetings, lacking objective data on participant engagement, inclusion, and productivity. Traditional meeting analytics often rely on recording or storing sensitive conversation data, creating privacy concerns and missing real-time behavioral signals that indicate meeting health.
Solution
Meeting Canary provides a real-time analytics layer that operates directly inside Microsoft Teams, delivering efficiency metrics and team insights without ever saving sensitive data. The platform tracks focus, inclusion, respect, and energy levels through its proprietary FiRE Index, giving leaders a comprehensive view of meeting dynamics as they happen. It automatically captures action items, calculates real-time meeting costs based on attendee count and duration, and analyzes small talk versus agenda adherence. The solution also provides talk-time distribution analysis to identify conversational dominance, tracks attendance history for long-term trends, and shows global attendee locations to support remote collaboration.

Primary customers are team leaders, managers, and organizational effectiveness professionals who use Microsoft Teams and need data-driven insights to improve meeting productivity and team dynamics.
