Configuration

Meeting Canary Modes #

Meeting Canary can be configured to work in 3 modes.

• Silent Time and Cost Only - Only dashboard data available.
• Time, Cost and Survey Only - In-meeting Side Panel (showing time and cost only), post meeting time and cost notification and post meeting survey.
• All Features - Meeting Canary will join your meetings as a participant. In-meeting Side Panel (showing FiRE, suggestions, speaker tracking, time and cost), in meeting animation nudges, post meeting time and cost notification, Summary and Action Points and post meeting survey.

This can be set globally on a per Tenant basis, or on a per User basis. The table below outlines the different features that are available for each mode.

Silent Time and Cost Only #

In this mode the Meeting Canary Teams App will not be installed or added to your meeting. There will be no visible Meeting Canary branding or notifications available to users and no direct messages from the Meeting Canary Bot to meeting users i.e. no meeting survey messages. The meeting start and end times, participant arrival and leave times will be monitored silently via the Microsoft Graph to provide data on the time and cost of the meeting. This information is available in your dashboard.

If you choose to manually install the Meeting Canary Teams App at a later stage, this will enable all meeting features.

Cost Calculator and Survey Only #

Meeting Canary will not join your call. This limits the functionality to basic time and cost tracking. A post meeting time and cost summary card will be sent to the meeting chat and participants will receive a post-meeting survey.

All Features #

Meeting Canary will join the meeting as a participant, enabling the full suite of Meeting Canary tools, including cost calculator, surveys, in-meeting speaker tracking, and post meeting Summary and Actions.

Tenant wide or selected users #

Meeting Canary Pro can be configured to monitor either all users or a selected subset. It only adds the Meeting Canary app and monitors meeting events to Teams Meetings where the meeting organiser has been subscribed.

This allows a smaller group of users to trial Meeting Canary. The app will be installed in meetings where the subscribed user is the organiser—both for new meetings and for existing meetings when the meeting details are updated.

Users who don’t have a license will still experience the benefits of Meeting Canary when attending meetings organised by licensed users.

Other options #

Meeting Language – Any language supported by Microsoft Speech to Text can be selected.

Meeting Animations - If disabled, the Meeting Canary video output will be disabled and the Meeting Canary Logo shown instead.

Voice Assistant – The in-meeting “OK Meeting Canary [Your Command]” functionality can be disabled.

These options can be set at the Tenant level, but they can also be adjusted for individual meetings. To update the settings, select Settings from the welcome card that appears when the Meeting Canary App is added to a meeting.
