# Huddles and standups

Audio sessions, invitations, sharing and the difference between unrecorded huddles and recorded standups.

A huddle is an audio session alongside your work. Its dock stays available while
you navigate. A standup opens a dedicated session with recording and transcription
signals. The distinction matters before you join.

| Control or state | Meaning | Limit |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Huddle** in a channel header | Start an audio session | Requires permission to start |
| **Join** | Join a live huddle | Requires access and an available place |
| **Accept** or **Decline** | Answer an incoming ring | An unanswered ring normally expires after 30 seconds |
| **Mute** or **Unmute** | Change your microphone state | Browser permission and host restrictions still apply |
| **Audio settings** | Microphone, speaker and device checks | A speaker picker depends on browser support |
| Participant faces | People in the session | Opens the participant list |
| **Add people** | Ring additional people | Appears only with invitation permission |
| **Share your screen** | Choose browser screen capture | The browser chooser determines the shared content |
| **Stop sharing** | End your screen capture | Leaving also ends your participation |
| **Leave** | Leave the session | Does not mean everybody else left |

## Recording and records

A huddle states: nothing here records or transcribes participants' speech. Its conversation card
can record session activity, such as an ended session. That is not an audio
recording or transcript.

A standup explicitly says **Join — recorded and transcribed**. Its session shows
a recording signal and live captions. Joining that session has different recording
consequences from joining a huddle.

The standup's **Record** destination is not an available recording-retrieval
workflow. Live captions do not establish that a finished recording or transcript
has a destination you can open later. Huddle-to-meeting promotion is unavailable.

## Devices and sharing

Audio settings include microphone permission, device selection and available
test controls. Browser support determines whether the speaker picker appears.
Webcam capture is not part of these sessions.

Screen sharing sends the selected screen, window or tab. It does not grant
access to underlying documents. Sharing a live application surface is not an
available substitute for screen capture.
