Huddle summary: Clause 7 review
Huddles running inside products at
What it is
Velt Huddle adds Slack-style live audio, video, and screen sharing inside your product, scoped to the document your users are working on. A huddle starts with one click: no link, no invite, no calendar. It exists for the moment reviewers genuinely disagree: when two reviewers are three replies deep and still apart, the conversation attached to the work resolves what the thread cannot. Agents appear in the same presence row and their findings sit in the thread under discussion; the humans take the call and the consent step closes it. Agents do not join the audio or video.
Clause 7: vendor rate is 12% over the contracted schedule
agent flags · humans huddle and talk it out · Approve closes it (agents never join the call)
How it works
Wrap your app, add VeltHuddle at the root, and drop VeltHuddleTool where the start button belongs. Clicking the tool starts a huddle on the current document; teammates already there join in place.
npm install @veltdev/react<VeltProvider
apiKey={VELT_API_KEY}>
<YourApp />
</VeltProvider><VeltHuddle />
// place the start button anywhere:
<VeltHuddleTool />The VeltHuddleTool button starts a huddle on the current document; teammates in the same document join from where they already are. The type config sets what a huddle carries: audio, video, screen, or all (default all). An ephemeral chat is on by default and toggles by prop or API. Calls run peer-to-peer and fall back to a server-side connection automatically (serverFallback, default on). Clicking a participant’s avatar can start Follow Me mode (flockModeOnAvatarClick, default off). Every huddle created or joined fires a webhook with the acting user, document ID, and page metadata.

Teams that build live audio and video budget a quarter for the first version and keep paying for the transport long tail. The 3 steps above replace that quarter.
Skip the steps. Have your agent set it up.

The deck review used to stall, then move to a scheduled call the next day. Now the huddle starts on the slide and the claim is settled before anyone leaves the document.

FAQ
Zoom is a meeting product: scheduled, link-based, with its own app and account model, and it is very good at that. A Velt huddle is a feature of your product: it starts with one click on the document, with no link and no calendar; participants are your existing signed-in users; and it is scoped to the work being discussed. It is also part of the same SDK as comments, presence, and recording, so there is no second vendor and no second user system.
Install @veltdev/react, wrap your app in VeltProvider with your API key, add VeltHuddle at the root, and place VeltHuddleTool where you want the start button. Clicking the tool starts a huddle. The huddle setup guide walks through it.
Yes. The type config accepts audio, video, screen, or all; the default is all. An audio-only huddle button is one prop.
From the document itself: users signed into the same document see the active huddle and join in place, without a link or an invite.
Yes. Every huddle has built-in ephemeral chat, on by default, and you can disable it by prop or through the API.
Huddles run peer-to-peer and automatically fall back to a server-side connection. The fallback is on by default and configurable.
Yes. Velt fires a webhook when a huddle is created or joined, with the acting user, document ID, and page metadata in the payload. Pipe it into analytics or your audit pipeline.
Velt is priced on usage, not seats: you pay for documents with review activity in a month, and there is a free tier for development and early production. Huddle is part of the SDK, not a separately priced add-on.
