Circle Back

Meeting bingo that marks itself. Reads live captions in Google Meet, Teams and Zoom and ticks off the buzzwords.

Meeting bingo that marks itself. Circle Back puts a bingo card on your Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom call. Turn on the meeting's captions and squares light up on their own when people say the buzzwords: "let's circle back", "you're on mute", "can you see my screen?", "low-hanging fruit". Five in a row and you've got bingo. HOW IT WORKS - Join a call in Chrome and turn on captions. Your card appears in the corner. - Squares are marked automatically when their phrase shows up in the captions. "You're on mute", "you are muted" and "YOU'RE ON MUTE!" all count. - You can tap squares yourself too, and tap again to undo. - Drag the card anywhere, shrink it to a small pill, or hide it for the rest of the meeting. - Bingo gets a little confetti and no sound. You're in a meeting. PLAY WITH YOUR TEAM Share a team code in the meeting chat. Everyone who enters it gets a card from the same phrase pack, but every card is different. First to bingo wins. SHARE YOUR WIN "Copy card" puts an image of your card on the clipboard, ready to paste into Slack, Teams or WhatsApp. PHRASE PACKS - Corporate classics: synergy, bandwidth, move the needle, take this offline - Remote-work fails: you're on mute, you froze, sorry go ahead, next slide - Engineering stand-up: blocked, works on my machine, quick fix, merge conflict - Sales call: pain points, next steps, ROI, does that make sense? - Your own: write your team's in-jokes in settings DESKTOP APPS In the Zoom or Teams desktop apps, open a card in its own small window from the toolbar button and tap squares as you hear them. STATS See your bingos, your fastest bingo and the phrases you hear most. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Captions are read and matched on your computer only. Nothing is recorded, saved or sent anywhere. - No microphone or camera access. - Runs only on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom's web client. - No accounts, no servers, no tracking.
