Introduction

Welcome to the **whoot.** documentation. Learn how to set up real-time voice channels, manage your team, and integrate with your existing workflow.

What is whoot?

whoot. is a real-time voice communication platform designed for teams. It provides always-on audio channels with push-to-talk, enabling seamless collaboration without the overhead of scheduling calls.

Unlike video conferencing tools, whoot. doesn't require anyone to schedule a meeting or send a calendar invite. Channels stay open permanently — your team joins when they need to talk and leaves when they're done.

Key Features

• Live Voice Channels — Always-on channels your team can join and leave freely, with real-time presence indicators.
• Push-to-Talk & Latch — Hold a key to speak, or toggle latch mode for hands-free conversation.
• Recording & Transcription — Record any channel and get AI-powered speech-to-text in 30+ languages.
• PSTN Dial Out — Pull phone numbers from 40+ countries into your voice channels.
• Session Replay — Replay conversations with timeline scrubbing, speaker-tagged waveforms, and synced transcripts.
• Multi-Tenant — Manage multiple organisations from a single account with full data isolation.
• Enterprise Security — 50+ RBAC permissions, SAML SSO, configurable MFA, and immutable audit logs.

How It Works

whoot. uses WebRTC for sub-100ms peer-to-peer audio. Each tenant gets a set of persistent voice channels. Users connect through the browser — no downloads required. Audio is routed through TURN/STUN servers when direct connections aren't possible.

1. Sign up and create your workspace (takes ~90 seconds)
2. Invite your team via email — they get a one-click join link
3. Create channels for different teams, projects, or purposes
4. Start talking — hold your push-to-talk key and go
