Walk and talk meetings
06 Apr 2021 by Ted Escobedo 2 min read
It was only a matter of time before ingenuity addressed the problem being stuck to your computer screen during (usually boring) virtual meetings. The solution comes in the form of an easy to integrate app that steps up your mobile meeting game. It’s called Spot, a virtual meeting platform made just for walks. Spot can be used on a desktop, but it is designed to shine on mobile, so you can take your calls into the fresh outdoor air. It has a built-in calendar for scheduling meetings and seeing which calls are next. It can record and transcribe calls, using Google's voice transcription software. It also has a feature called Smart Mute, which algorithmically filters out street noise by amplifying frequencies that look like a human’s speaking voice and toning down everything else. For now, Spot is in closed beta on an invite-only basis, but it plans to launch with a freemium model—free for individuals, not for businesses—soon. For the meantime, you can plan your teams next steps while getting your daily steps in too!
