Field notes
The described setup uses Google sign-in, then invites teammates by email; recipients get a link to join the team. During a call, messages appear over a teammate’s camera tile, with replies or a quick reaction available there. The site says the messages are rendered in the browser, are not included in recordings or transcripts, and cannot be sent to someone who is presenting. These are claims made by the product page.
