# Video meetings without Zoom – right in your calendar and Rooms

Until now, a meeting in Xenaxio still needed a link to Zoom, Teams or Google Meet for the video. From today, video meetings are part of the workspace: **Meetings** – in the browser, nothing to install, with guests, right next to your calendar and Rooms.

## One link per meeting

In an event, click **Create Xenaxio Meeting**. The meeting gets its own link; it is in the event and in the invitation your guests receive by email – in Outlook, Apple Calendar and Google Calendar too. From ten minutes before the start, the event card shows **Join**.

It works without an event as well: under **Meetings** you create a meeting and copy its link.

In [online booking](https://xenaxio.com/blog/online-booking/), choose “Xenaxio Meeting” as the place. Every booking then gets a meeting of its own, and your customer finds the link in the confirmation.

The AI assistant and your AI chat through the MCP connector create events with a meeting too – as always, only after you confirm.

## Guests without an account

Colleagues join with one click. Guests need no account and nothing to install: they open the link, check camera and microphone, enter their name and wait in the waiting room. Someone from your company lets them in or turns them away.

## In the meeting

- gallery or speaker view, screen sharing;
- chat in the meeting, raised hands and reactions;
- anyone from your company can mute microphones, remove participants or end the meeting for everyone.

By default, a meeting holds up to 25 people for up to eight hours.

## Calls in Rooms

Every channel and direct message in Rooms has a **Start a call** button at the top – like huddles in Slack. The call starts with sound only and runs in a small window next to the chat, so you can keep writing; switch on camera and screen when you need them, and one click makes it full screen.

The channel shows a card “Call running · 3 people · Join”, and after the end “Call ended · 23 min”. A call in a direct message rings on the other side.

## Where video and sound run

Video and sound don’t go through a US service but through our media server in Germany – encrypted in transit. If you run Xenaxio on your own servers, the media server is in your building as well. Your administrator switches meetings on or off under **Administration → Meetings** and decides whether guests from outside may join.

## What’s next

Recordings and an AI summary of the meeting and background blur aren’t there yet – we are working on them. For larger audiences there are now [webinars](https://xenaxio.com/features/webinars/) for up to 300 viewers with registration, Q&A, polls and chat – on request.

## Try it
