War rooms

War rooms create instant meeting links tied to incidents, so your team can join a call without scrambling for a link.

War rooms

When an incident triggers and your team needs to coordinate on a call, war rooms create an instant meeting link tied to the incident. Everyone knows exactly where to join.

Spike supports:

1. Google Meet

2. Zoom (coming soon)

3. Your personal room link (Daily.co, Gather.town, or any URL)

Set up

Go to Organization Settings > Video Conferencing and connect Google Meet or add a personal room link. For a personal room, paste the link and it's ready to use.

How Google Meet links work

Spike connects to your Google account and requests permission to access Google Calendar. When a war room is created, Spike creates a calendar event on your account and generates a Meet link from it.

Spike does not read your calendar events or store them. It only creates a calendar event to generate the Meet link.

Create a war room

Open the incident page and click Start Google Meet from the Quick Actions menu.

Start a war room from the incident page.

Invite others to join

When creating the war room, you can invite current responders, escalation members, or the entire team. You can also search for specific teammates to add.

Spike's Google App is currently pending verification for extended access to calendar scopes.
