Getting started

about a minute

Meeting Kompas writes up your Teams meetings for you. It reads your calendar to find them, and joins the ones you choose. Here is exactly what happens, before you start.

  1. 1

    Sign in with your work account

    One click. There is no password to invent and nothing to install. If you are already signed in to Microsoft on this computer, you may not even see a login box.

  2. 2

    Approve the permissions

    Microsoft shows you a consent screen. This is the only part that looks alarming, so here is the whole of it in advance. These four, and nothing else:

    What you will be askedWhat it is for
    Keep working after you close the tab
    offline_access
    Without this we would need you to sign in every hour.
    Confirm which organisation you are in
    openid
    Lets colleagues join from the website without an invite link.
    Read your name and email
    User.Read
    So we know who connected, and can label the board.
    Read your calendar
    Calendars.Read
    The whole point. We look for meetings with a Teams link.

    Every one of them is read only. We cannot send mail as you, post in Teams, reply to anyone, or add, move or delete anything in your calendar, because those permissions are never requested. You can withdraw the whole lot at any time from your own Microsoft account, and you do not have to ask us.

  3. 3

    Choose which meetings to record

    Nothing is recorded until you say so. Your calendar arrives as a list and you switch on the meetings you want. The notetaker joins under a name you pick and appears in the participant list like any other guest, so nobody is recorded without seeing it there.

Where you will end up

IfThen
Colleagues already use it You join them. You see your own meetings. An admin at your company can see the organisation's, so treat it as a work tool rather than a private one.
You are the first You get a new workspace and you are its admin. Colleagues who come after you can join by themselves, unless you switch that off.

Which of those happens is decided by the organisation id Microsoft sends us, not by your email address. Somebody outside your company cannot reach your meetings by signing up with a lookalike address.

What if Microsoft refuses?

Some companies do not let staff approve applications for themselves. If that is yours, the consent screen says so instead of letting you continue, and there is nothing you can do about it from here: a Microsoft 365 admin has to approve Meeting Kompas once for the whole company. Send them this page. After they do it once, nobody else sees a consent screen again.
