V0.1.0 · SHIPPED
One key.
One voice.
Private talkback and IFB inside Zoom. Hold a talent key and your voice lands in that panelist's ear—the meeting, recording, and room hear nothing.

NO LINKAVAILABLE NOW
Production talkback.
Without the workaround.
ZComms joins the client meeting as your operator account. Remote talent uses the native Zoom app—no panelist install, virtual audio cable, spare machine, or bot account.
Named talent keys
A standing talkback channel per panelist, plus groups and ALL CALL.
Silent main mic
Your meeting mic stays open but carries silence until a talkback key is pressed.
Honest reachability
Keys show heard, empty, unavailable, or in another breakout room.
Production audio
Input gain, limiter, ramped PTT, echo cancellation, sidetone, and live device switching.
Local control API
A localhost control surface ready for Stream Deck and Companion integrations.
VERIFIED SIGNAL
Measured in a real meeting.
Not a mockup or an architecture promise. The core path is built, tested, and independently isolated by channel.
CHANNEL ISOLATION · VERIFIED
CH 01 heard CH 01. CH 02 stayed private. One process carries the full channel bank.
PLATFORM TRUTHS
The key only lights when they can hear you.
Panelists need the native Zoom desktop or mobile client. The web client cannot receive talkback.
ZComms needs host or cohost privileges to create and staff talkback channels.
Talkback does not cross breakout rooms. The station shows the boundary and refuses a false press.
The operator account cannot host another meeting while ZComms is joined. The app protects that meeting.
FUTURE STATE
Ship the station.
Expand the system.
The Zoom talkback path is proven. The next work hardens distribution, deepens operator control, and tests where the architecture can go.
Distribution & identity
Code signing, a dedicated Zoom Marketplace identity, and the cross-account authorization path.
Breakout sub-productions
Live verification, room creation and staffing, and automatic talkback membership as talent moves.
Operator intelligence
AI Companion privacy controls, structured chat cues, tally, and richer control-surface integrations.
More meetings, more platforms
A multi-meeting bridge after Spike C proves the host model, plus a thin macOS shell.
Native comms fabric
Wire-class crew comms with Zoom retained as one endpoint—not the transport for every leg.
Roadmap items are planned or exploratory—not claims about the current release.
