A travel-trade alternative to Teams meetings
Teams is built for the people inside your organisation. Reconnect is built for the people outside it — trade buyers who join from a link, in a room with your branding, whose questions end up in your CRM.
Microsoft Teams is a comprehensive collaboration platform widely used by organisations on Microsoft 365.
What RepBud Reconnect is
Microsoft Teams is a serious platform and it earns its place where an organisation runs on Microsoft 365. Its centre of gravity is internal: channels, files, chat, the working life of a company. Reconnect points the other way — outward, at the buyers you are trying to win and keep.
It hosts branded video meetings and webinars in the browser on LiveKit. A trade buyer clicks a link and is in, with nothing to install and no account to create, giving a name and email at the door. You admit them from a waiting room. Afterwards, the session is recorded and transcribed and an intelligent recap is drafted — who attended, what they asked for, the next step — and delivered to The Lantern, matched to the right contact and company, with a hot-buyer engagement score alongside it. It is included with Business Class and above.
What it brings to your day
Pointed outward, at your buyers
Guests just click
No account, no install, no tenant, no "join on the web instead" detour. A buyer clicks the link, gives a name and email, and is in the room.
The relationship remembers
The recap files into The Lantern matched to the contact and company, with a hot-buyer engagement score — so the meeting becomes part of the relationship rather than a recording nobody reopens.
Trade-shaped sessions
Registration pages with capacity limits, a green room before you go live, polls, Q&A, breakout rooms and a follow-up email — built for roadshows and product training, not stand-ups.
Booking links with consent
Buyers pick their own slot and pre-register with consent captured, then get calendar invites and reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before.
Being straight with you
Reconnect is a meeting tool, not a collaboration platform. There are no channels, no file storage, no persistent team chat, no telephone dial-in, and no integration with your internal document life. Rooms take 50 attendees on Business Class and 150 on First Class and Charter. If your organisation runs on Microsoft 365 and you want everything in one place, Teams is the right home for internal work — plenty of people use both.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions people ask us
Do my guests need an account or an app?+
No. Guests join from a link in the browser with nothing to install and no account to create. They give a name and email at the door, so you know who actually attended — which matters when the attendee list becomes CRM records afterwards.
What happens to the meeting afterwards?+
The session is recorded and transcribed, and an intelligent recap is drafted — who attended, what they asked for, the next step. It is delivered to The Lantern, RepBud's review queue, which matches it to the right contact and company. You approve it before anything is filed, so the record is yours rather than the machine's.
Can I use Reconnect alongside Teams?+
Yes, and many people do — Teams for internal work, Reconnect for the buyer-facing meetings where branding, easy guest access and a recap that reaches the CRM matter. They are not mutually exclusive.
Can guests follow along in another language?+
Yes. Reconnect offers live captions, translated chat and Q&A, and spoken translation across ten languages — English, Mandarin, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Japanese, Hindi and Swahili. It helps a mixed-market roadshow follow along; it is assistive translation rather than a substitute for a professional interpreter on a high-stakes negotiation.
What does the engagement score do?+
It rides along with the recap as a signal of how engaged an attendee was — a nudge about who is worth following up first. It is a prompt for your judgement, not a verdict; RepBud is designed to assist, not replace, your professional judgement.
Have a look for yourself
Reconnect is included with Business Class and above — branded rooms, a waiting room you control, and a recap that files itself against the right contact. Begin a 14-day complimentary stay to try it.
