I absolutely love the concept, but let's face it, there are a lot of people out there that don't truly understand the concept of async meetings. The majority of the working world has their routines and logging in daily or multiple times a day just to see if there are new responses in a meeting isn't going to happen when you're trying to build momentum internally for a solution like this. This really needs some thoughtful notification options. You can't notify every time there is a new reply in the Proposals & Feedback section, but you also can't limit the notifications to when a meeting starts and stops. The one minute limit to the videos is way too short. I guess someone can just record a second and third video immediately, but that's just not a good user experience. You really need to add an audio-only recording option as well. I realize it's a new product, but it doesn't seem like you've put your best foot forward. As I was testing, I decided to create a meeting using each of the templates provided. Formatting in the documents section of these templates is inconsistent and looks unprofessional. The structure of the Proposals & Feedback section needs some rethinking. For instance, I'm trying to get people to buy-in to this concept so when I start a meeting, I need to get the "dialogue" going in the P&F section. So I post several Proposals with the intent of better organizing the subsequent responses. I have to know to enter this in reverse order since the P&F section is sorted as most recent first. Custom sorting or drag and drop of the main proposals might be nice to alleviate this. Definitely need the ability to upload documents to review. At best, you could upload them externally and provide a link, but again, that's not a good user experience. I really want this app to work because I really want to shift to more and more async meetings, but most of the professional world isn't ready for it yet. The more you make it easier to overcome, the faster you'll see people migrate to this type of solution. Best of luck and keep improving.
Let's face it, the world is working remotely, nowadays!
What I'll use it for 🌮 A long thread of meeting notes, chats, comments, feedback 🌮 A signature board for meeting attendees to signify their agreement
What is missing from this? 🌮 Attaching other files such as PDF, image, word, powerpoint, etc. 🌮 Recorder only records your face, how about recording your screen! 🌮 How about recording only voices? 🌮 Public meeting notes for those clients who hate logging in! 🌮 SyncSpider integration
Overall, I think it is an OK-ish MVP for an early product. Could be big in the next months, but I leave that entirely to the MeetQuo team!
Want to give this a shot. Should be useful. I am more interested in terms of use cases in using it for external async meetings, and at the moment these count against the deal limits, as far as I understand, although the team is looking into it. Buying as an future road map, as I hope it grows into something great.
Great concept, barely usable. I tried to replace existing method for a meeting. I could only post images and text, no video button. My team did not like and immediately started sharing external links which brought us right back to the old way of doing things. I sent an email for help, no response for days and when they did respond it was lost in my spam because support sent it with no subject. I refunded but kept 1 code, I want to support and hopefully use in the future but this is a tough one to recommend as is.
I bought one code of MeetQuo so far, because I am constantly in meetings that didn't need to be meetings (or were very difficult to set up), but did need to be discussions. And most of those discussions need to be succinct, focused discussion, and not just team chat threads. So the need for asynchronous meetings is real.
ADMINISTRATOR CONTROLS AND DYNAMIC TEAMS ARE NEEDED First, I wholeheartedly agree with both @willinchicago's suggestions. Better administrator control to know what is happening in the system is important. I did go into Zapier and triggered an alert for when a new meeting is setup, and that will solve part of the issue. His second suggestion that more fluid setups of teams would be much better than static team structures is spot on. All our teams are dynamic, formed according to projects, and scattered around the world. Having to set up and re-setup static teams is just not a good reflection of the way people work today.
NOTIFICATIONS ARE NEEDED Second, there need to be some notification options. I don't want to be required to "check in" with any particular software constantly, nor do I want to keep them all open on my desktop. In Zapier, there isn't an option to trigger a new email alert when a meeting is updated or responded to, and unless I just haven't dug around enough, I don't see other settings for notifications in the system. So please add to your roadmap either notifications for
I do love the clean simplicity of this system, and I can see its potential. But it needs a little more development to be a functioning part of a productivity stack. More Zapier hooks, more flexible team setup and management would be great, and the ability to add clients to a meeting but not give them significant system permissions would be necessary before I could offer up 5 tacos.
For now, I'm keeping my one code and watching the discussion here. If some of these issues can be addressed, I would probably buy more code. Otherwise, without those changes, I think this application will become somewhat of a paper weight.

This could be really useful for Remote Teams
