Everything we designed in Polka brings online meetings to the next level.

We just launched Polka’s in-meeting features in Zoom. Now you can launch a timer or timestamp highlights simply by sending Zoom chat messages to Polka!

That is what became possible:

Timestamp 📌 highlights in the call. Save them for later

Struggling to take down all the nuances while staying focused in the meeting? We’ve got you covered 👌.

“Now” sent to Polka — marks a moment to save it for later

“Now and some text— marks a moment along with your comments

All the comments you made during your meeting will show up in the meeting dashboard (we call it “Dancefloor”). It is accessible to you anytime you want.

Set a live timer to pace the discussion ⏳

Calls longer than needed turn out to be the significant challenge of meetings. We came up with an easy and effective fix.

The “5 min” command triggers a 5-minute countdown on the Polka Zoom screen (you see Polka as one of the participants).

That is an awesome, yet so simple, way to keep everyone dedicated to a productive discussion and sets timing boundaries. Any meeting becomes laser-focused.

Use “2 min”, “15 min”, “30 sec” — whatever you need. Everyone on the call will see the countdown. I just love this functionality. I hope it will serve you as well 😊.

The “Cancel” command cancels the previously set timer

If you type ‘Cancel’ in a Zoom chat, Polka will cancel the timer countdown you set before. Polka will shut down a countdown screen, and a regular screen with commands will pop up.

The more you use Polka, the more effective you get — and the more you’re going to need this feature 😁.

Share your ideas with us 💡

The “idea your thoughts command will let our team know about your ideas, suggestions, and needs.

Please use this command in your Zoom meetings with Polka — a lot😊. We build software that will truly empower your meetings. Your feedback will be very much appreciated! We will analyze all your ideas and implement them accordingly so that every user can shape Polka software.

If you haven’t already registered, please do that and test Polka in action @ https://meetpolka.com/.

(for early users, the price is right => 0 USD 😊)
