Live Meeting Features
NASA provides tools to make the live meeting experience efficient and productive.
Timer Functionality
Standup Timer Options:
Time per user (e.g., 2 minutes each)
Total meeting time (e.g., 15 minutes divided equally)
Team Meeting Timer Options:
Time per agenda topic
Adjustable during the meeting
Benefits: Keeps meetings on track and ensures equal participation
Follow-up Flagging
Purpose: Mark items needing further discussion outside the meeting
How It Works:
Click the flag icon next to any item during the meeting
Flagged items appear in the Follow-up tab
All flags are preserved in the Team Journal
Benefits: Allows the team to acknowledge issues without derailing the meeting
Emoji Reactions
Purpose: Provide quick, non-disruptive feedback during meetings
Available Reactions: Thumbs up, question, celebration, etc.
Benefits: Enables acknowledgment without interrupting the flow
Live Item Creation (Team Meetings)
Purpose: Add new items during Team Meetings as topics arise
Available To: Scrum Master and Coverers
Types: Jira issues, text items, headlines
Benefits: Accommodates emerging topics without losing context
Non-Joiner Loading (Team Meetings)
When team members are absent from a live Team Meeting, their preparation work doesn't have to be lost. Scrum Masters and Coverers can load non-joiners' My Update items directly into the active meeting session.
This is useful when:
A participant prepared their update but couldn't attend the meeting
The team needs to review an absent member's items without waiting for the next session
A participant joins late and their items need to be added to the current discussion
Availability: Team Meetings only (not available in Standups)
Required role: Scrum Master or Coverer
For step-by-step instructions, see Active Team Meeting — Loading Non-Joiners.
