Meeting Canary measures the level of Focus, Respect and Energy in a meeting. This is done by combining multiple aspects taking place in a meeting. Some of the aspects taken into consideration are:

Focus #

Measuring the ability to stay on track and avoid distractions.

• Rambling without clear direction (long sentences and filler words)
• Long meetings tiring people out
• Disengagement of users (switching cameras off and no longer contributing)
• Lack of agenda, action points and decision making

Respect #

Measuring the way that people treat each other in the meeting.

• Use of non inclusive language. e.g. sexist phrases such as “looking for the best man for the job”.
• Use of offensive **** language
• Negative sentiment directed towards a person
• Cross talk and interruptions
• Uneven sharing of talk time

Energy #

Measuring the level of enthusiasm and engagement in the meeting.

• Number of people who are engaged with their video on
• The percentage of participants who have recently contributed
• Number of speaker changes (back and thro’s)
• Use of questions
• Speed of speech
• Excitement levels and positive sentiment
• Meeting length
