Meeting links for guests
Bring clients and partners into a channel's audio room with a link, like Zoom. Guests type their name and join, no account needed.
Updated
A meeting link lets someone outside your workspace, such as a client or a partner, join a channel's audio room with just their name. They don't need a Fishcamp account, and they only get the call: no messages, no other channels.
Share a meeting link
-
Open the channel and choose Meeting link at the top right. On smaller screens it's the link icon.
-
Choose Create and copy link. The link is copied and looks like this:
https://fishcamp.space/m/Hq7kT2mZpX4rNa -
Send it to your guests by email or chat.
Anyone who can see the channel can share its link. A channel has one link at a time: open Meeting link again to copy the same one. The panel also shows how many times guests joined with it.
Meeting links only work in channels with Voice on, and not in direct messages.
What your guest sees
- The guest opens the link and sees the channel and the workspace it belongs to.
- They type their name, choose whether their microphone (and camera, if the channel allows it) starts on, and choose Join meeting.
- If nobody from your workspace is in the room yet, they see Waiting for the team. The page checks every few seconds and lets them in as soon as someone from the team joins.
In the room, guests can mute, start their camera and share their screen, when the channel's Camera and Screen switches are on (sharing a screen needs a desktop browser). Leave ends their call, and Rejoin brings them back. Their browser remembers the name for next time.
| Guests can | Guests can't |
|---|---|
| Talk, and use the camera and screen sharing when the channel allows them | Read or post messages, or see the channel's history |
| See and hear everyone in the room | Join, or stay, while nobody from the workspace is in the room |
| Join with the mic off and just listen | See other channels, people or anything else in the workspace |
In the room
- Guests have a Guest label, on their video and in the sidebar's list of who's in the channel's audio room.
- The timeline shows them like anyone else, with "(guest)" after the name, for example "Ana Souza (guest) joined the audio room".
- A room takes up to 20 guests at a time. The next one sees This meeting is full.
- When the last person from your workspace leaves, the meeting ends for the guests too. They see The meeting ended and can choose Join again when they're back.
- Fishcamp checks each guest again as they connect to the room: someone from the team must be there, the link must still be on, and the room must have space.
Transcription
If the channel has transcription on, guests see this before they join: "This room is transcribed: what you say becomes text for the team. Audio is never stored." In the room they see a Transcribed label.
What a guest says is transcribed from their own microphone, like everyone else's, and their lines carry their name
with "(guest)", for example Ana Souza (guest).
When a guest spoke, Dcision never sends the transcript to your AI agents on its own: the transcript waits for someone from your team to confirm (Needs a decision). Saving it to OpenSync or discarding it works as usual.
Remove a guest
Anyone who can see the channel can take a guest out of the call:
- In the sidebar, find the guest in the list of who's in the channel's audio room.
- Choose the remove icon next to their name (Remove from the room).
The guest sees "You were removed from the meeting". The link still works, so they could open it again: to keep them out, make a new link (that also takes the other guests out of the room).
New link or turn it off
In the Meeting link panel:
- New link replaces the link and copies the new one. The old one stops working.
- Turn off link turns it off, after you confirm ("Turn it off? Guests in the room leave now."). Guests who open it see "This meeting link was turned off".
Both also take the guests who are in the room out of it. Send the new link to the guests who should come back.
What guests might see
| The guest sees | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Waiting for the team | Nobody from the workspace is in the room. | Join the audio room. The guest gets in a few seconds later. |
| The meeting ended | Everyone from the workspace left the room. | Join the audio room again; the guest chooses Join again when they're back. |
| This meeting link was turned off | Someone chose New link or Turn off link. | Send them the current link. |
| This room isn't open right now | The channel's voice is off, or the channel was archived. | Turn Voice back on, or share a link from another channel. |
| This meeting is full | 20 guests are already in the room. | Remove a guest, or ask one to leave. |
| We couldn't find this meeting | The link is incomplete or has a typo. | Send the link again. |
| We couldn't open this meeting | The page couldn't reach Fishcamp. | The guest chooses Try again. |
Good to know
- The link is the key. Anyone who has it can join while your team is in the room. Share it with the people you're meeting, not in public places.
- Guests don't join the workspace. To bring someone in for good, send an invite link instead.
- Turning off Voice closes the room for everyone, guests included. New link needs voice on, too.
- To build your own guest client, see Meeting link endpoints.
Audio rooms
Talk, turn on your camera and share your screen inside any channel. Per-channel switches, timeline pills, keyboard shortcuts and browser support.
People and roles
Invite people with a link or by email, and choose what they can do. Owner, Admin and Member, who can change roles, and why the last owner can't leave.
