Standups
A standup gathers each person's completed work, planned work, and blockers before the meeting starts, so the meeting only covers what needs discussion.
Set up a standup
Open the team from Teams and select Create Standup. Team admins choose:
- Which days it runs, and at what time in the team's time zone.
- Whether it syncs with a Google Calendar recurring event. You can adopt an existing event's time, create a new event, or link an existing one.
The setup page also shows which team members still need to connect the integrations that feed their recaps. With Google Calendar connected, the recurring event and Meet link stay aligned with the standup schedule.
Enable, disable, or delete a standup from the team page. Teams covers team admin roles.
Before the meeting: the waiting room
The waiting room shows when the standup starts, who is expected, who has joined, and each attendee's time zone. Use the time to review planned work, mark completed work, and note blockers. Any team member can start the meeting when the team is ready.
Run the standup
The live view shows one participant at a time in the same three columns as a recap: worked on, planned, and blockers. The sidebar collapses so the speaker has focus. Private todos stay private, and synced work follows the visibility rules of its source tool. When the organizer finishes, everyone returns to the standups list.
The end view shows duration and attendance. Follow up on the blocker, initiative, bug, or pull request itself, so the context stays with the work.
Find standups
The standups page lists standups you take part in and those of other teams you can observe, with each team's schedule and whether it is active.
Async or in a call?
Teams that work across time zones can run Slack standups. Teams that meet live can run the standup inside Google Meet.
