Straight answers
The questions a healthy team should ask.
Always-open presence sounds different because it is. Here is exactly what InOffice does, when media connects, and where the privacy boundaries live.
Is my microphone on all day?
No. You are present in the office, not broadcasting. InOffice does not request microphone permission until your first Talk or unmute, and media connects only when you need it.
Can a manager listen in or replay a conversation?
No. InOffice has no audio recording or retention capability. Everyone in a room is visible, so you always know who can hear a live conversation.
What happens when I need to focus?
Set DND and InOffice enforces deafen at the media server. Teammates can send a silent Knock, but audio cannot break through your focus state.
Is this employee monitoring software?
It is the opposite by design. Attendance is duration only. There are no screenshots, keystrokes, per-app activity tracking, hidden content views, or surveillance features.
Does InOffice replace chat and video tools?
The core difference is live presence: see who is around, Talk instantly, Knock silently, and grow into a Huddle. Channels, DMs, files, search, video, and screen sharing keep the conversation in one place.
How does the Free plan work?
Free includes up to 20 active seats, 5 concurrent media participants, and 90-day chat history. No credit card is required to open your office.
Can guests see the whole organization?
No. Guest access has an explicit expiry and can be limited to specific rooms, channels, and projects. Unscoped organization-wide guest access is not allowed.
