Could Someone Give me Advice for Implementing Meet.coop in a Remote Team Setup?

Hello there,

I am exploring options to improve collaboration within our remote team; and I have been intrigued by Meet coop as an ethical; user controlled alternative to mainstream video conferencing platforms. We are a small team; and we prioritize privacy; data security; and cooperative software; which makes Meet coop a compelling choice.

I am new to the platform and would love some insights from the community on best practices for effectively integrating it into our workflows.

How easy is it to onboard non-technical team members to Meet coop? Are there any common pitfalls to avoid, and what steps have you found helpful in making the transition smooth?

How does the platform fare with recurring or long duration meetings? Are there any tools or features in Meet coop that help manage team interactions efficiently, such as scheduling; meeting room management etc.? :thinking:

Are there ways to customize Meet coop to fit the specific needs of our team? :thinking: For instance, do any of you have experience integrating it with other productivity tools like project management software or communication channels.

Also, I have gone through this post; https://forum.meet.coop/t/can-users-phone-in-to-a-meeting-uipath/ which definitely helped me out a lot.

If our team grows, does Meet coop handle scaling well? :thinking: Are there limitations we should be aware of when using it with larger teams or during hightraffic periods?

Thanks in advance for your help and assistance. :innocent:

Hi Elizashahh

Some months ago I wrote the following about Meet.coop for a potential client that didn’t get through. Maybe some things have change since but hope it helps:

Features:
• Moderated video conferencing, screen sharing and presentations, whiteboard, group chat, and shared notes.
• Meeting recording and recording history (with a storage space limit depending on the contracted plan).
• Video conferencing room management with room options (room creation, entry approval, mute users upon entry, allow users to start a call, allow recording, etc.).
• On desktop computers or laptops it works with Firefox and Chrome browsers. No software needs to be installed.
• On cell phones it is tested on Android 9 with Chrome (118) and audio, video, chat, and notes work well. BBB client version 1865.

Number of Users:
The number of users supported is related to the price:
• Maximum 10 participants: £ 9 per month, depending on the exchange rate.
• Maximum 20 participants: £ 18 per month, depending on the exchange rate.
• Maximum 50 participants: £ 40 per month, depending on the exchange rate.
• Maximum 100 participants: £ 90 per month, depending on the exchange rate.
For special events of up to 200 participants, a temporary contract can be made. The price is £ 100 per week and must be contracted at least two weeks in advance of the event.
The plan contract can be changed to a month and there are discounts if annual payments are made in advance (e.g. -10% for advance payment for 1 year of service).

Usability:
Although Big Blue Button has a friendly graphical interface, the fact that it is unfamiliar to most people can be an initial problem for some people, especially for older people who take time to learn the location of the menus, buttons and their functions. For this reason, it cannot be expected that the first 2 or 3 sessions will go completely smoothly, as users need time to get used to using new services. After 3 sessions, most people should know the main functions to interact more easily in subsequent calls. Therefore, we recommend giving a brief but complete training for the facilitators who will be able to introduce the tool to new users and give a presentation of a few minutes on the main functions for new users before the meeting they were called to.
