Description
Keep collaboration moving without disrupting the main discussion. Start and continue one-to-one or small-group conversations directly from a meeting to ask questions, coordinate next steps, share information, and collaborate in parallel while staying engaged in the conversation, reducing context switching and helping teams stay focused and productive.
