Webcast your public meetings. No production crew required.
Audiominutes streams council meetings live in audio or video, transcribes them in real time as an optional add-on, and publishes a searchable archive your residents can actually use. It runs on a normal broadband connection and one tablet.
Used by district, borough, county and parish councils across the UK.
Meetings broadcast
Audio and video delivered
Listener sessions since 2022
Three pieces of software. One person to run it.
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. That's the whole set-up.
Press start
One tap on the tablet opens the stream. Pause for exempt items and resume when you're ready.
Tag as you go
Mark each item as it begins, so the live stream and the archive are indexed as you go.
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."
Councils are most of our customers. They are not the limit.
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 put whatever happens next in front of an audience.
Boards, trusts and AGMs
Housing associations, academy trusts, charities, co-operatives — anywhere members have a right to see the meeting and cannot all be in the room.
Clubs and societies
Committee meetings, annual generals, talks and lectures. The same tablet, the same one-person setup, at the same price a small organisation can approve.
And it need not be a meeting
Services, ceremonies, concerts, conference sessions, hustings, match commentary. If it has an audience and a microphone, it can be broadcast live and archived.
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. Published rates, no hidden extras.
