Team.Video challenges Zoom with features to fix ‘common meeting frustrations’

The world may not need another video conferencing tool, but Plectica is betting that it does. The New York-based productivity software company this week launched a platform called Team.Video, with what it hopes are enough distinguishing features to nab a slice of the $4 billion global video conferencing pie.

Founded in 2016 by former Shutterstock CFO Adam Riggs, Plectica started work on Team.Video in late 2019 and reached a minimal viable product this spring before launching a beta program for several hundred users.

“Team.Video is built to support how people prefer to naturally interact with each other in meetings, both as business colleagues and as humans,” Riggs said in a statement.

How it works
Team.Video is an entirely browser-based application, working on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari on the desktop, with support for Safari (iOS) and Chrome (Android) on mobile.

While it shares basic features with the incumbents, Team.Video offers a few notable highlights. For example, you can assign agenda items to specific participants and set a timer for each item to ensure meetings run on schedule. [...]

Team.Video also packs a bunch of analytics that show who was late, the amount of time each individual spoke, and even who contributed the most non-verbally (i.e. through emojis).
That kind of scrutiny might not be to everyone’s liking and favors more extroverted participants, but the analysis includes potentially useful data.
Pricing
Team.Video offers unlimited meetings with seven people for up to 60 minutes free, with no account required. For $15 per user per month — a fee that won’t apply during the first month or two after launch — users can set up a Team.Video account and schedule meetings for 25 people for an unlimited period of time.

Larger companies are unlikely to ditch their conferencing tools for something like Team.Video, although nothing is stopping them from using multiple video platforms.
