If you have a topic that isn’t relevant to the agenda, or if you weren’t able to cover a topic in your meeting, you can now send it to the parking lot.

How does this help?

You might run a meeting where not all of the topics get covered. Certain topics might not be relevant to the agenda, like suggestions from attendees, or there just wasn’t enough time to cover them. When you send these topics to the parking lot you can remember to review them in a later meeting.

How does this work?

Put your mouse over the agenda topic that you want to send to the parking lot. A group of icons will appear on the right side. Just click the “Move To Parking Lot” icon:

This sends your agenda topic to the parking lot at the bottom of the meeting page. If you don’t have any parking lot items yet, we’ll automatically create the parking lot section and add your topic to it:

We’ve added a new feature that spell checks your entire meeting page with one click. This lets you check for any mistakes before you send your agenda or minutes to attendees.

How does this work?

To run the spell checker, click the “Spelling” link at the top of your meeting page:

This opens a box that tells you how many spelling errors you have. The actual spelling errors are highlighted in yellow on the meeting page. Click on the edit icon for an item to make changes to it:

After you’ve fixed the spelling errors, you can click the “Recheck” button just to make sure that none are left:

You can now add time estimates for agenda topics. This helps you plan how long you want to spend discussing each topic. We’ve had lots of users request this feature – thank you for your feedback!

How does this help?

Time estimates help you see if you can cover your entire agenda during the meeting. For example, if the agenda has 5 topics, and each topic needs 20 minutes of discussion, you won’t be able to go through your agenda in an hour long meeting. By quickly jotting down time estimates for each topic, you can check if the agenda is too ambitious for the amount of time that you have.

During your meeting, you can use your time estimates to keep the meeting moving from topic to topic, so that you can discuss everything on the agenda.

How does this work?

Click on the “Add times” button at the top of the agenda:

This takes you to a page where you can add time estimates for each topic. As you add time estimates, we’ll automatically update the meeting’s total time:

If the meeting’s total time gets too long, and you want to quickly see which topics you can shorten, take a look at the graph on the right side of the page. It shows a breakdown of each topic’s estimated time:

You can now add admins to any meeting or recurring series. If you add someone as an admin, they get the same access to the meeting as you.

How does this help?

There are certain things on your meeting page that only you can do, like change the meeting’s name, send out the agenda, or use the in-meeting tool. Since these features fit in the meeting creator’s workflow, your attendees don’t have access to them.

If you’re running the meeting with someone else though, they might need the same access to the meeting page as you. Adding them as an admin gives them the same functionality that you have. The meeting will also show up in their account so they can help manage it more easily.

How does this work?

Click on the “Meeting settings” link at the top right of your meeting page. On the right side of these settings is a link titled “Give Admin Rights,” where you can add an admin:

Anyone you add as an admin must already have a MeetingMix account. You can add multiple admins, and you can delete them at any time.

Once you add someone as an admin, they’ll receive an email notification and they can immediately access all of the meeting’s functionality from their account.

We’ve added some extra functionality to file attachments:

1. Add a description to your file
When you attach a file you can add an optional description:

2. Get email alerts when a file is attached
We send you an email notification when an attendee suggests an agenda topic. Now we’ll also send you an email notification when an attendee attaches a file. This keeps you aware of updates without having to visit your meeting page.

3. A list of files gets sent out with the agenda and minutes
When you email your attendees the agenda or minutes, the email will also include a list of the meeting’s files:

Attendees can review information and download attachments right from the email.
