In-Browser Meetings

No desktop app? No problem! Anyone can now join your Tandem calls in browser. All you need to do is send them the meeting link. Here's where you can find it:

Cal.com + Tandem

Now you can schedule meetings with anyone using Tandem + Cal.com! With this integration, teammates and external guests can check your availability and book a meeting, and a Tandem link will automatically be added to the calendar invite.

Google Calendar Integration

You can now schedule Tandem meetings directly from Google Calendar! Install the Tandem add-on or Chrome extension, and select "Tandem Meeting" as a video conferencing option next time you're scheduling a meeting. This will automatically add a tandem meeting link to your calendar invite.

Use Multiple Cameras

Show off all your good angles with Multicam™! Enable "use multiple cameras" in your video settings and check the ones you want to display.

Other Improvements

• [mac] Added a new preference for whether Tandem should be visible on all workspaces.
• Improved security of the Tandem app infrastructure through context isolation
• Updated underlying Electron / Chrome infrastructure. This includes many bug fixes and security patches by the Chrome team
• [mac] Universal installer for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs
• [mac] Fixed bugs related to Tandem disappearing from Mac Dock by making “visible over fullscreen apps” a setting that can be toggled. This also improves the “visible over fullscreen apps” behavior to be more consistent.
• [mac] Improved full-screen support and fixed weird issues when the call window is collapsed while in full-screen
• [mac] Fixed cases where hardware encoding for video wasn’t being used. This should improve CPU usage during calls.
• [windows] Added support for Brave browser app presence
• [windows] Fixed additional cases where quitting Tandem causes leftover processes and high CPU usage

Supercharge your calls with meeting widgets - These lightweight apps help you stay organized, make your calls more engaging and more fun! You can trigger a timer, get a randomized list of participants, add agenda items or a poll, and even put on some background music to set the mood. Anybody can add/remove widgets and multiple people can interact with the same widget at the same time.

Timer Widget

Meetings usually involve a lot of brainstorming, or writing activities, that require you to set some time aside to do some thinking alone or in groups. When that happens, the timer widget helps you stay on track, and it comes with a few handy piggyback features; you can mute everybody on the call and you can also add background music. Which brings us to the next widget!

Music Widget

Change the mood in your meeting with one click! The music widget enables you to add ambient music from a variety of genres, and everybody gets to adjust their own volume. It can add nice pleasant vibes when people are filtering into the meeting, or at the end, when you're just chilling or co-working.

Standup Widget

One of the most common forms of meetings teams usually host are standups. With our widget, you can get a randomized list of meeting participants, and when someone's finished you can mark them (or they can mark themselves) as done, and this highlights the next person that's supposed to speak. It's a very simple way to keep your standup going, saves you a lot of phatic communication, and lets you focus on what matters most: connecting with your team.

Agenda Widget

Organize your discussion by adding items to the agenda widget. Everyone can contribute at the same time, you can edit items, and mark them as done once you've had a chance to go through them.

Poll Widget

The poll widget lets you take the pulse, at any given moment. You can add different options, and your team gets to decide what they want to go for, in one click.

🚀 Try meeting widgets on your next call and let us know what you think!
