Team Meeting

Every video call starts with the same ritual: "Can you hear me?" - "Hold on, I need to install the app first." - "Which account? I do not have an account there." Ten minutes later a quarter of the meeting is gone. Dienstbesprechung cuts the ritual down to one click: you send a link, the other side opens it in the browser and sits in the meeting. No install, no registration, no app store.

That is more than convenience - it is the difference between a meeting that happens and one that dies at your customer's IT department. Especially when you talk to clients, customers or officials who do not sit in video calls every day, this is what counts: click the link, type a name, you are in.

To stop unwanted guests, the lobby is a hard media boundary: while it is enabled, external link holders receive no room token and cannot hear or see the meeting. Turn it off deliberately when the invited guests are ready. Screen sharing and ICS scheduling are included.

The real difference sits under the hood, though: Dienstbesprechung runs on werkzeu.ge's own servers in Nuremberg, on self-hosted open-source technology (LiveKit). No US cloud, no data flowing off to a corporation that maintains ad profiles on the side. As little as possible is stored - data frugality is not a marketing word here but a construction principle. For conversations about contracts, finances, staff or health, that is not a side issue.

Honesty is part of the deal: Dienstbesprechung is built for meetings, not webinars with five hundred spectators. Currently up to 10 participants per meeting, up to 50 with a team setup. For dailies, client calls, consultations and team rounds that is plenty - for the corporate town hall, pick something else.

And soon comes the part we are most excited about ourselves: meeting minutes via local speech recognition. Transcription will then run on our own servers - no cloud AI, no generative AI, no training on your data. Your conversation stays your conversation; the machine just takes notes.
