Transform your meetings with a new tool that helps you run on time, get more done, and include everyone. Sesh manages your meeting time and is packed with activities like icebreakers, brainstorms, and votes. Use it alongside your video conferencing tool.
Hi Product Hunt π
I am Ben, the founder of Sesh. While working at Twitter and Pinterest I fell into what I like to call βthe meeting vortex.β Youβve probably been in one: your day is fully booked with meetings that are usually running over time or going off track. You end the day without having finished any meaningful work (and probably didnβt even have time for lunch). The world is wasting millions of hours daily on meetings.
Unfortunately we canβt just nix meetings altogether. I believe that the best work is still done in meetings - itβs where we innovate and communicate, and with remote work, itβs now where culture is built.
The only way to improve your workday is to have better meetings. And thatβs what we set out to do.
Sesh provides a powerful agenda that makes your meetings shorter and more effective, and can help pull you and your team out of the meeting vortex.
Hereβs a few features weβve built in:
- Keep time automatically with audio and visual cues (which is a lot nicer than being like βGregβ¦Gregβ¦GREG!!!! STOP TALKING!!!" We do that for you)
- Stay accountable to your team with meeting outcomes
- Repeat meetings quickly with reusable agenda templates
- Drive outcomes with anonymous voting
- Inspire innovation with team brainstorms
- Create culture with fun and unusual icebreakers
- Promote inclusivity with pre-ordered and timed rounds
Sesh works natively inside Zoom and Webex, or alongside your favorite video conferencing app with your browser at sesh.com. Itβs free to sign up and try out with your team. Our team is also available to give you a tour and walk through the product.
I canβt wait for you to check it out and I look forward to your feedback. Iβll be hanging out here all day to answer questions.

@finkel It is really a bad experience for working hours to be squeezed by all kinds of lengthy meetings. Look forward to you!

I'm a paying Sesh user with no connection to the team aside from as a customer. Have had a great experience so far (two months of usage?) and recommend it. One note, our weekly all hands check-in meeting (12-15 people) has been shortened from 1 hour+ to 30 min. And that meeting was unnecessarily long, so this is a very meaningful time savings.
I really like this concept! Unfortunately my company doesn't really allow us to add new zoom apps. Kinda annoying haha. But I'm definitely keeping this on my radar, and i think your pricing model is very generous! I might start trying to find some non-work areas that I can use this!
@britt_joiner Thanks for the support!
There are a few ways you can make this work:
1. Use Sesh in the web alongside Zoom, everyone else can join via your link or meeting code
2. If you can get approval for just 1 download, you (or whoever is hosting) can use Guest Mode in Zoom to seamlessly get everyone else participating in your Sesh
3. Have your people call our people β we're SOC2 certified, meaning we likely meet your company's security requirements for approved apps. Reach out to @vipul_sahai (vipul@sesh.com) if you want to talk more
Excited to hear how you end up using Sesh! Definitely keep in touch and reach out if you have any questions along the way.
@ross Thank you! Appreciate your support.
And you're still the record holder for shortest default meeting length that I've even seen. β³

I love the "meeting outcomes" feature. I can't tell you how many times I've left a meeting thinking we all knew our marching orders, only to have another week pass with no real progress. This product looks like a great solution. Looking forward to exploring the other benefits.
@valerie_christensen It's my favorite feature as well! Documenting + assigning outcomes has been tremendously useful. Appreciate the support and let us know if we can help!

Love that its so visual -- I can instantly see how this would keep the meeting on task and a little more fun and team oriented! Wish I had a team to try this out with !
@hasanmangrio Thanks Hasan! We've seen people use this in meetings with just two people, or with other teams like sales calls, pitches, even high school reunion planning π
