Meeting Alerts
One minute before a meeting starts, Cadeo shows a small alert card at the top-right of the screen you're using — over every app, even when Cadeo is in the background. It doesn't take the keyboard, so whatever you're typing carries on.
Alert Styles
Pick how the alert should appear from Settings > General > Cadeo Bar > Meeting alert style:
| Style | What it does |
|---|---|
| Alert card (Join, Record) | A small card with the meeting's name and how it's held (Google Meet, Zoom…), a Record checkbox, Dismiss and Join. |
| Notification only | A macOS notification — no card, no Join button. |
The alert card is the default.
Using the Alert Card
- Join opens the meeting link (it says Open when the event has no link, and opens the event in Cadeo).
- With Record ticked, Join also opens the meeting in Cadeo and starts recording it. Untick it to just join.
- Dismiss closes the card. It also goes by itself five minutes after the meeting starts.
A long meeting name is cut short with "…"; hover over it to see the whole name.
Cadeo Bar Countdown
Separately from the alert, the Cadeo Bar menu bar icon always shows a countdown to your next meeting (e.g. Design Review · 12m). When the meeting is under 5 minutes away the icon turns red. See Cadeo Bar for full countdown behaviour.
If you're in back-to-back meetings and don't need a floating window, switch to Notification only to get a quieter cue.
