For everyone who values digital sovereignty, productivity, and data protection.
Video conferences can be so much more than just videos and sound. They can be fun and productive when participants get motivated and moderators are supported by useful features, so that everyone feels comfortable in their role. Sophisticated and user-friendly features such as meetings that can be run by multiple hosts, an automated speaker line-up, audit-proof voting, breakout rooms, sub-room meetings, and a dashboard for conference scheduling all ensure that your digital collaboration works as effectively as it should.
Features that promote collaboration and are fun to use
True added value
Group rooms (Break-out)
Group rooms can be created randomly, by number of moderators, or by group affiliation of the participants. Moderators can enter or leave those rooms at any time.
Sub-conferences (sub-room meetings)
Would you like to discuss something privately with another participant while the conference is ongoing? Open a sub-room to chat in confidence and keep following the main event at the same time.
Meetings with multiple hosts/moderators
The use of more than one moderator makes it possible to conduct conferences more efficiently in parallel, as several moderators can divide the work between them. When a conference has finished, moderators can remain in the meeting for off-boarding.
Audit-proof voting mechanism
Effective resolutions, not just talk: OpenTalk offers an auditproof mechanism for conducting open and secret votes and will reliably document the results.
High scalability
Need to serve a million participants? Not a problem. OpenTalk’s container architecture ensures stable platform operation and so, reliability and scalability for providers.
Integration
Get everything you need from a single source: Thanks to open APIs, OpenTalk can be integrated with calendars in Microsoft Outlook® or Mozilla Thunderbird.
Open interfaces and SSO
Our APIs give access to all functionality. Appearance, behaviour and features can be controlled separately. Singlesign- on (SSO) via Keycloak facilitates the seamless integration into your own systems.
Data protection and confidentiality
The GDPR, confidentiality, and secrecy protection are in our DNA. Our well-designed architecture ensures data separation, client suitability and transparent security mechanisms.
OpenTalk is best for...
Public Administration and Politics
OpenTalk offers true digital sovereignty for political organisations and public authorities on the local and federal level. Developed out of projects for the states of Berlin and Thuringia, OpenTalk works well for politics. OpenTalk also offers what the public sector needs: Moderation, invite management, high security standards, local operation, audit-proof voting, agendas, and minutes.
Businesses and NGOs
With OpenTalk, users remain independent and in control of their data. Operational as an on-premises solution or via SaaS from our data centres, OpenTalk structures cross-company communication in your own look & feel, even for heterogeneous user groups, and in compliance with data protection laws. Smart features such as speech timers, automatic moderation, timed breaks, and a useful invite management interface increase productivity and efficiency.
Schools and Universities
Smart moderation tools, automatic moderation, polling, and group rooms are features that support
teachers in conducting their lessons in an entertaining and creative way. Gamification features are
interesting and promote excitement and focus across all age groups. Intuitive usability will appeal to all users, even if they are not very technically-minded. This makes teaching and learning easy for all involved.
Providers and platforms
A well-designed technology stack offers maximum scalability, and useful administration and monitoring features. With open APIs, OpenTalk integrates seamlessly with existing service platforms. A great range of functionality, user management, and flexible billing models provide true added value and USPs that make OpenTalk stand out from other solutions.
