Never be late to a meeting again!
Go to Settings > Meetings to turn this on (requires Google Calendar integration). A desktop reminder with will pop up before your next meeting.
Clicking "Auto-Join" will hide the reminder and automatically join that meeting at its start time.
ProTip: You can choose "Remind me for all meetings" to surface these handy reminders and easy-join buttons for external meetings on other platforms like Meet and Zoom.
We also did a Desktop release (1.6.419) - see notes for that here.
Incoming chats will temporarily appear next to your call window. You can reply, click incoming links, or images.
When clicking on the chat Icon you'll now see a Popover window that you can easily close.
You can now get the Tandem Chrome Extension to schedule Tandem meetings directly within Google Calendar.
Teammates can join your meeting link from their calendar in one click!
We also have a few additional features to help you better collaborate during calls when you add our extension.
If you invite someone doesn't have Tandem yet installed, they'll be guided to download it when they click the link. You can also invite and meet with other Tandem teams!
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.
Click on the [+] button in the Team section, then "Create new section".
Right click on a teammate and move them to a section, or Add them to a new section.
While in a call, make sure to be in expanded mode. Then, click the hand to high-five a teammate!
If you a teammates raises their hand you can click it to high five them. You can do that in any mode or dimension of the call window.
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 - 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!).

You can now control the video layout

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.
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 📌 in the top-right or use the shortcut [P] to make the window always-on-top.
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.
Go to Settings, and activate Dark mode.
