THE HANDOFF

The room is not the destination.

Huddle carries the useful part of the meeting into the work itself, with consent and authority visible at every turn.

link → device check

Meet. Then the work keeps moving.

Open one link, finish the Device Check, and let the room find its people.

Show the work. Keep the conversation attached.

The meeting model is real software: camera tiles, presentation stage, Chat, Host controls, and a Recording state that everyone can see.

03 / ATTENDED REMOTE CONTROL

Let the client drive. Keep the stop button close.

The agency shares a staging site and runs the macOS Control Agent. The client stays in-browser and asks before anything moves.

04 / DECISION DELIVERY

Leave with a record of the decision.

Recording is visible while it runs. Huddle keeps the local copy in MinIO for finite retention; a Host can connect a private Google Drive destination when the team needs delivery.

FAQ / PLAIN TERMS

The short version.

Huddle is deliberately specific about who can do what, where data goes, and what the demo is.

Do guests need an account?

No. Guests open a shared Room Code link, complete the Device Check, Knock, and wait for a Host to Admit them.

What does self-hosted mean here?

You run the web app, API, LiveKit, Redis, Postgres, MinIO, and Caddy on infrastructure you control. The documented target is a single VPS or Docker host for small teams.

What is the Huddle license?

Huddle is released under the Apache-2.0 license. Third-party components keep their own licenses; see the repository NOTICE material.

What does Remote Control require?

The meeting stays in the browser. Only the Sharer installs the macOS Control Agent, and each control session is attended, room-scoped, identity-bound, and renewable every 30 minutes.

Where do Recordings go?

Room-composite MP4 files are written to MinIO with finite local retention. A Host can separately connect a private Google Drive destination for delivery.
