Origin:

Talk-o-meter was found at the end of a rainbow and initially developed one sunny day by a talkative unicorn. Well, close, it was developed by the boss of a tech company who had the not too admirable superpower of talking too much on Google Meet.🤦‍♂️ When COVID-19 hit, the entire company realised that they were spending many hours each day on conference calls talking and talking and talking.😩

It was then the crushing realisation hit - maybe, just maybe, the boss was talking too much, reducing the ability for others to contribute and feel heard in meetings. 🤷

After moving rapidly from denial to acceptance in the grief cycle, the boss thought, “What if there was a way for everyone to measure and monitor how long they speak on all web calls?” 🤔

pretty nice tool in general but not working since a few months anymore. I contacted the developers but its still broken (last update Oct 2022). Will stay for 2 stars until its coming back to life ;-)

It is no longer showing the data in Google Meet as of 08/08/2023.

It is a great little nudge to ask quiet people their opinion. Also great reminder that a view from a meeting might be skewed if one person spoke half the time.
