Team Sections help you organize your teammates in different sections.
When adding to a section those teammates will always be visible even if they join a room or meeting.

This is one of the many solutions to help large teams see the most relevant meetings, rooms, and people.

Creating a new section

Click on the [+] button in the Team section, then "Create new section".

Adding a teammate to a section

πŸ“… Meet on Tandem

There are three ways to have meetings on Tandem:

1) Automatic Meeting Rooms (Google Calendar only for now) - Meetings with internal participants will automatically appear in Tandem.

2) Quick Meetings Β - Click + to create a quick meeting.

3) Meeting Links - Get a link from + and put it into Calendar (scheduler chrome extension coming soon!)

Meeting Links work like other meeting apps - they give recipients access to the meeting, but not your team. If they don't have Tandem, they'll be prompted to install, then taken straight to the meeting (browser-mode coming soon!).

πŸ•° Β In case you missed it

Remember lunchtime group conversations with your team? In-person conversations are dynamic, spontaneous, with sub-conversations forming and re-forming fluidly. Now you can have these flexible group conversations with our Crosstalk feature!

To start a crosstalk, click on the button in the top-left of your teammate's video. You'll still hear the main conversation, but at a lower volume. Moving between Crosstalk sub-conversations is easy - just click on who you want to talk with. Each Crosstalk will be assigned a random colorful emoji to help tell them apart.

  • Fixed bugs with Crosstalk

πŸš₯ Horizontal Mode & Slack Presence

Sometimes it's nice to have your teammates in a neat row at the top of your screen, right under the camera (so it looks like you're making eye contact). Now you can do that by expanding the call box, then resizing to any size you want. Pro tip, you can click the πŸ“Œ in the top-right or use the shortcut [P] to make the window always-on-top.

Show Room Presence in Slack

Now, when you enter a Room in Tandem, your room state will be broadcast via Slack status (if connected). You can disable this behavior from the Slack preferences.
