Equal Time
Platforms: Zoom, Meet, Teams
Equal Time pros:
- Tracks questions and keywords
- Tracks attendance
Equal Time cons:
- Interface isn’t as nice as others
By now, you may have read dozens of articles detailing how introverts have great insights to share. They’re observant and careful but lack the impulse to put their expertise on the table. If the extroverts are always stealing the show in your meetings, Equal Time will help you identify who’s who and get everyone to participate equally.
Once you integrate Equal Time into Google Meet or Zoom, you’ll see a sidebar with the following information in real-time:
- The speaking time for every meeting participant displayed as a percentage.
- The inclusion score of the meeting, measuring how well the time is distributed among all attendees.
- A monologue counter, helpful to track how many times the conversation has died.
- A pie chart with the group speaking balance, so you can divide people by roles or teams and ensure that each gets a proportional amount of air time.
When the meeting is over, you’ll get an email with the breakdown of these stats. You’ll be able to see the talking time breakdown for each participant, along with a set of checks that tell you whether that person spoke at the meeting or not, if they were late, or if they’re prone to monologue. Below these, you’ll find the typical meeting summary, powered by AI, and a set of tips to help you improve your meetings in the future.
Heading over to the dashboard, you’ll be able to see all of this info, along with a few extras. You can get a simple sentiment analysis for the meeting, learn the number of questions asked (and you can click to read all of them), and clearly see who is contributing too much or too little to the conversation.
While the user experience on the app isn’t as top-notch as others on this list, these features are robust enough to make up for it, especially if you’re having trouble bringing everyone into the fold.
Equal Time price: Free plan available for 40 minutes of transcription per meeting; Premium starts at $18/month.
