Important Update Effective February 1, 2024!
Due to recent changes in Jira and Confluence, we've made the tough decision to discontinue the OpenID Connect (OIDC)/OAuth app and no longer provide new versions for the newest Jira/Confluence releases as of January 31, 2024.
This is due to some necessary components no longer shipping with Jira/Confluence, which would require some extensive rewrites of the OIDC App.

Submit your comment by clicking on the “check“ button.
From the right-hand panel, click on the plus icon next to the desired Jira Issue to add it as an update to your first question.
Issue Lists
You can select from a list of Suggested Issues and Other Issues:
Suggested Issues
- the issues displayed here have been defined by the person who set the meeting configuration (read here for more details)
Other Issues
- this list of issues contains all issues assigned to you but only those which have been updated within a month period, starting today
- issues that are already contained in Suggested Issues are excluded to avoid duplicates
Once you’ve added a Jira issue to your update, you can comment by clicking on the speech bubble next to it.
After clicking on the speech bubble, you will see the pop-up where you can add your comment.
By selecting “Add comment to Jira Issue“ your comment will also automatically be added to that issue.
Click on the "check" button to submit and save your comment.
Click on “Next” to proceed to the next question: “What are you planning on doing today?“
Searching for Jira Issues
To find Jira Issues that are not shown in the "Suggested Issues" section, click on the "Search" button within the right-hand panel.
Search for the desired issue by typing the issue name in the text box, and ticking the box next to the issue once it appears.
Add the issue to the right-hand panel by clicking on the "Add" button.

Once the issue has been added to the meeting stream, add it to the update by clicking the "Plus" button next to the issue name.
Click on "Next" to proceed to the next meeting stream question, "What is blocking you from proceeding with your tasks?".
Once you have added the desired issues that are blocking you from proceeding, click on "Next" to proceed to the final preparation question "Do you have any meetings today?".
Add the desired update to the final question and click on the "Next" button to complete your preparation.
My Update Summary
Once the preparation is complete, the "My Update Summary" will be displayed. If you need to make any changes, click on "Back" to return to the meeting stream questions.

Joining the Standup Lobby
Once you are happy with your update, click on the "Enter Meeting Lobby" button from the "My Status Summary" page to join the live meeting lobby.
Within the lobby you are able to see which of the other participants have completed their updates (by having their profile pictures visibly clear), and which participants still need to complete their updates (with their profile pictures not being faded out).
From the meeting stream lobby, Scrum Masters and Coverers are able to click on "Start Meeting" in order for the live standup meeting to start. The "Start Meeting" button is greyed out for Participants, as they do not have the necessary permissions to start the standup meetings.
