The best meeting is the one that never gets scheduled

The Carbon Voice Team

The best way to avoid a meeting is to never have it get scheduled in the first place.

We've updated CarbonLinks and shared voice memos — the two simplest ways Carbon Voice helps you talk with people without putting another meeting on the calendar.

They work from opposite sides of the conversation:

  • CarbonLinks let people reach out to you, like an async phone number.
  • Shared voice memos let you send your thoughts out with an easy way to respond — a reply to an email, a text, or a form, as a quick link. An audio Loom.

Both now have a simpler, more streamlined experience, along with new ways to respond.

💬 CarbonLinks: now talk or type​

A CarbonLink page with a message box that takes typed or recorded messages

We've simplified the CarbonLink experience and added a new option: text. People can now type a message to you as well as record one. No app to download, no meeting to book.

Put your CarbonLink anywhere you want people to be able to reach you — your email signature, your website, your LinkedIn profile, or in place of your calendar link.

🎙️ Shared voice memos: easier to hear, easier to answer​

A shared voice memo with playback, transcript, and a reply panel

We've also redesigned what someone sees when they open a shared voice memo. The new page puts your message front and center, with playback and the transcript easy to reach. When someone wants to respond, they can react, type a reply, or talk back.

To create a shareable voice memo, record from the home screen and share the link that's automatically copied to your clipboard.

Two people using both, on their own sites.

Ari Meisel — talktoari.com​

Ari Meisel's site, leading with a voice message instead of a booking link

Ari uses a link to a shared voice memo to introduce himself in his own voice, and lets visitors respond directly to what he said.

Kevin Koym — speakwithkevin.com​

Kevin embeds the voice memo on his site, so visitors can hear his perspective with a quick play button and respond directly. His contact form uses his CarbonLink to let them start a new conversation.

In both cases, instead of the website leading straight to "book a meeting," it gives people a way to just start talking.

⚡ SSO login on the Mac app​

The Mac app now supports SSO login, alongside Google, Apple, phone, and email.
