Video meetings

Yttri runs video meetings itself, with no external service. The VIDEO CALLS group in the calendar sidebar splits into a quick meeting, active, upcoming and past.

Quick meeting

Section titled “Quick meeting”

One menu item and you are in the room. If your session is already running the button returns you to it; otherwise a draft is created, and the real meeting record and public link appear on the first actual connection.

Active, upcoming, past

Section titled “Active, upcoming, past”
  • Active — calls happening right now: “Join”, “Copy invitation” (the text with the name, the link and — if you own a password-protected meeting — the password itself) and “Access settings” for the owner.
  • Upcoming — scheduled meetings by nearest time.
  • Past — view only; “Open materials” leads to the meeting page.

Access

Section titled “Access”

The access dialog offers entry by link or by password. The password has a length limit and no control characters; the counter turns red on an error.

The preview screen

Section titled “The preview screen”

Before joining you get a camera and microphone preview:

  • microphone and camera — the button toggles, the arrow next to it lists devices (the first entry is the system default);
  • speakers — the output device list, when the engine supports choosing one;
  • screen sharing — the source can be picked in advance, before joining;
  • settings (the gear) — access and moderation, owner only;
  • Join. If another call is already active, the app asks whether to end it.

In the call

Section titled “In the call”

The bottom bar: microphone, camera, speakers; participants with a counter and, for the host, the number of screen-share requests; chat with an unread counter; the meeting assistant panel; screen sharing; copy link; meeting settings; leave.

If you are not allowed to share, the share button sends a request to the host and locks until it is answered.

The host’s per-participant menu (⋮): open and close the stage, mute, ask to unmute, block the microphone, allow or forbid sharing.

Moderation in the meeting settings:

  • webinar mode — participants’ microphones are off and the host opens the stage; the buttons “Open the stage for everyone” and “Close the stage” appear in this mode;
  • screen sharing by participants — when off, requests gather in a “Screen share requests” block with Allow and Decline.

Moderation changes take effect immediately.

Switching to another section of the app folds the call into a floating mini-window with its own microphone, camera, expand and leave buttons.

Materials from a past meeting

Section titled “Materials from a past meeting”

A finished meeting’s page shows the summary of the linked recording, the meeting chat, tags and a Materials block with links to the recording and the note. If the copilot was running during the call, there is also a Meeting assistant button that opens the conversation from that meeting.

Section titled “MTS Link”

A separate MTS Link setup dialog is configured once per Exchange account: a link to the personal cabinet that issues an API key, the key field and Save; once a key exists — Replace, Delete API key, and a re-check of its validity.

Only then does the “MTS Link” provider become available in the meeting form, with its own settings: a waiting room, a password, and participants’ rights to the microphone, camera and chat.
