Hi Product Hunt 👋 I am Ben, the founder of Sesh. While working at Twitter and Pinterest I fell into what I like to call “the meeting vortex.” You’ve probably been in one: your day is fully booked with meetings that are usually running over time or going off track. You end the day without having finished any meaningful work (and probably didn’t even have time for lunch). The world is wasting millions of hours daily on meetings. Unfortunately we can’t just nix meetings altogether. I believe that the best work is still done in meetings - it’s where we innovate and communicate, and with remote work, it’s now where culture is built. The only way to improve your workday is to have better meetings. And that’s what we set out to do. Sesh provides a powerful agenda that makes your meetings shorter and more effective, and can help pull you and your team out of the meeting vortex. Here’s a few features we’ve built in: - Keep time automatically with audio and visual cues (which is a lot nicer than being like “Greg…Greg…GREG!!!! STOP TALKING!!!" We do that for you) - Stay accountable to your team with meeting outcomes - Repeat meetings quickly with reusable agenda templates - Drive outcomes with anonymous voting - Inspire innovation with team brainstorms - Create culture with fun and unusual icebreakers - Promote inclusivity with pre-ordered and timed rounds Sesh works natively inside Zoom and Webex, or alongside your favorite video conferencing app with your browser at sesh.com. It’s free to sign up and try out with your team. Our team is also available to give you a tour and walk through the product. I can’t wait for you to check it out and I look forward to your feedback. I’ll be hanging out here all day to answer questions. Ben

@finkel lovely makers comment. Congratulations to the launch, I'll have a look to see if it makes sense to integrate this for our meetings. :)

@finkel It is really a bad experience for working hours to be squeezed by all kinds of lengthy meetings. Look forward to you!

I really like this concept! Unfortunately my company doesn't really allow us to add new zoom apps. Kinda annoying haha. But I'm definitely keeping this on my radar, and i think your pricing model is very generous! I might start trying to find some non-work areas that I can use this!

@britt_joiner Thanks for the support! There are a few ways you can make this work: 1. Use Sesh in the web alongside Zoom, everyone else can join via your link or meeting code 2. If you can get approval for just 1 download, you (or whoever is hosting) can use Guest Mode in Zoom to seamlessly get everyone else participating in your Sesh 3. Have your people call our people — we're SOC2 certified, meaning we likely meet your company's security requirements for approved apps. Reach out to @vipul_sahai (vipul@sesh.com) if you want to talk more Excited to hear how you end up using Sesh! Definitely keep in touch and reach out if you have any questions along the way.
