People & meetings
Meet, pay and keep the meeting proof
Start a room, invite people, use video and messages, make a payment and retain the meeting’s sealed record.
Bring the conversation together
Use a meeting when the discussion, people, agreement and payment should remain connected. Video, audio, chat, appointments, payments and your meeting record work with your account. Business adds the optional Twin and its actual plan/permissions. Start from Calendar’s Meet now, or include a meeting link in an appointment. The public meeting walkthrough is a labeled example; your own meeting starts through the account or actual invitation.
Start, invite and join
- Create the room
Account → message icon → Calendar → Meet now opens the saved live-meeting event. Choose Join meeting. For a planned room, create the appointment with Add meeting link.
- Invite the actual people
Copy meeting link or use Invite people → email addresses → Send invitations. Anyone given the invitation can join with their own identity.
- Continue your own identity
An invitation offers Use Identity Record or Use PBI for an existing account. Unlock a protected original with its original phrase. An unreadable saved identity must not be replaced to make entry continue.
- Choose how to join
Use Join meeting or Join with audio, and allow the camera/microphone permissions you intend. Joining adds the meeting to your calendar.

Send money without leaving
- Open Money
In Chat, select Send money in this meeting, the dollar icon.
- Enter the payment
Select Payment recipient if there is more than one other participant, then Amount to send. Check the person and amount shown.
- Choose Send money
Your balance goes first. If more is needed, complete the displayed secure checkout for this same payment. Extra provider-minimum funding remains in your account.
- Inspect the result
Money sent shows the accepted amount and participant, recorded in this conversation. For an unknown result choose Check payment; do not create another transfer to discover what happened.
Choose shared or private Twin context
When Twin is offered, Ask the Twin uses its actual access and context. Shared replies are visible/audible to the meeting. Use my private context opens your private context; Bring the Twin into the room or Ask the host’s Twin returns to the applicable shared mode. Private Twin context is kept out of the shared meeting record. Generated interpretations and proposed follow-ups retain their own evidence and action permissions. If Business access is required, the meeting keeps working while you inspect that optional addition.
Keep and inspect the meeting proof
End or Leave closes the call immediately and automatically offers the private meeting-and-identity ZIP after preparing its actual record. A browser download request does not confirm that the operating system saved the file. Check your browser downloads and the ZIP you actually retained. The extracted playable files and identity travel beside the exact sealed proof; they do not replace or reseal it.
- Open Record
Recording starts only when the host chooses Start recording. Use Stop recording to finish capture; keep the recording tab open while capturing.
- Seal the actual record
Choose Seal meeting history without captured media, or Seal & download meeting when capture is available. Captured files stay encrypted on the recording device.
- Save the Original
Download meeting & ID prepares a private ZIP with playable captured meeting files, the exact sealed meeting proof Original and your current Identity Record. Generated notes are identified separately. Keep the Identity folder private; your unlock phrase is not included.
- Continue as yourself
Save Identity Record remains available separately for the supported identity return path. Find the next step helps prepare a follow-up whose appointment/action has its own result.
Recover the same meeting or payment
Use Rejoin meeting or Join with audio when returning to an active room. If an instant meeting could not be confirmed, Try again continues its saved request. A pending payment uses Check payment or the saved checkout, while Cancel payment follows that attempt’s actual state. Inspect the recorded conversation/account result before Send another. If export preparation fails, reopen Record → Download meeting & ID to retry the same retained proof without pressing End or Leave again. Reopening a historical ended room does not automatically export your identity; choose Download meeting & ID deliberately when you want that private file. A sealed meeting proof is retained evidence; it does not execute its recorded payment again or grant a reader host or spending authority.
