DeskTime is designed to capture your active work hours automatically. To make things even more convenient, you can enable specific features to ensure that time spent in online meetings or watching work-related videos is captured as productive time - no manual edits required.
Instead of going back to fill in your offline gaps, let DeskTime do the heavy lifting for you. Here is how you can customize your settings.
When you enable Meeting & video time tracking, DeskTime will be able to read when your employees are engaged in online meetings or other related activities (e.g., using online communication apps like Zoom, MS Teams, Google Meet, or video sites like YouTube or Udemy). DeskTime will then track their time on these apps as productive instead of idle.
This will allow your employees to participate in online meetings or watch video tutorials without interacting with their laptops.
Note! If you want to make sure certain apps, like YouTube, aren’t tracked as productive time, you can always set these apps as unproductive.
How to set up Meeting & video time tracking
To set up Meeting & video time tracking, you have to be either the Company Owner or the Company Administrator. You can enable this setting for the whole company, specific teams, or individual users only.
If you want to turn this setting on for the entire organization, head over to Settings → Account → Tracking → Activity tracking → Enable Meeting and video time tracking.
But if you want to enable it for a specific team, go to Settings → Teams. Select the team you want to enable this setting for and click Edit Teams.
You’ll see the Enable Meeting and video time tracking setting in the Tracking tab.
