Webcast your public meetings from one tablet.
Audiominutes streams council meetings live in audio or video, transcribes them in real time as an optional add-on, and publishes a searchable archive residents can use. It runs on a normal broadband connection.
Used by district, borough, county and parish councils across the UK.
Meetings broadcast
Audio and video delivered
Listener sessions since 2022
One person runs the whole thing
The clerk controls the meeting from a tablet, residents watch or listen in the browser, and everything lands in the portal for archiving.
How a meeting runs
Load the agenda
Paste or upload the agenda into the portal before the meeting.
Press start
One tap on the tablet opens the stream. Pause for exempt items and resume when you're ready.
Tag each item
Mark each item as it begins. The live stream and the archive are indexed while the meeting is still running.
Archive publishes itself
The recording appears on your site within minutes, indexed by agenda item, backed up and verified.
In their words
"I should say how impressed I was with the sound reproduction and clarity. The jump-to drop-down menu was so helpful also. Great job!"
"We piloted a video system several years ago but it proved too expensive to maintain. This system lets us keep the cost of improving accessibility very low."
Most of our customers are councils
The service was built for local government and that is still where most of it runs, but nothing in it is council-specific. If you can plug in a microphone or a camera, you can broadcast whatever happens next.
Boards, trusts and AGMs
Housing associations, academy trusts, charities and co-operatives, where members have a right to see the meeting but cannot all be in the room.
Clubs and societies
Committee meetings, annual generals, talks and lectures. The same one-person setup as a council, at the same price a small organisation can approve.
And it need not be a meeting
Services, ceremonies, concerts, conference sessions, hustings, match commentary.
Pricing that a parish council can sign off
Audio-only plans start well below the cost of a video contract, and you can move up to video whenever you're ready. The rates are published.
