Understand your meeting time-spend
Outlook already contains all of the information you need to know about your meetings. Our meetings add-in for Outlook analyses that data and provides you a real-time analysis of how you (and your team) spend your meeting time.
It works in the background of Outlook, gathering meeting data from your calendar on a daily basis and presenting an easy to understand picture back to you. All versions of Outlook from Outlook 2007 onwards enable the full functionality of the add-in.
To install the add-in, please follow the following steps carefully:
- Close everything down except this webpage (restart your machine if you have time)
- Click this link, select to ‘run’ the download (this may appear at the bottom of this page, or in your ‘downloads’folder), and follow the instructions
- Open Outlook, and let things settle down before you do anything else – and wait for an Inspirometer email (It sometimes helps to close and reopen Outlook a second time – even if you have the email)
- If you can see the Inspirometer buttons and they work, that is it done
- If the buttons aren’t there, or they don’t work, you may need to do some basic troubleshooting
Ensuring you can access your data securely
Your account holds all of your meeting effectiveness data very securely.
To access your account, you will need to create a new password, which you can do by following this link: https://my.inspirometer.com/preview/recover_password – simply type in your email address, and you will be sent an email with a button to reset your password.
Clicking the ‘Reset Password’ button will take you to a page where you can enter your new password, and then proceed to another page where you can log into your account using your email address and the password you have created.
If you have not received an email after 5 minutes, the most likely cause is one of the following:
- The email may have got caught up in your spam filters. To prevent this, please add inspirometer.com to your recognised email list.
- You may have misspelled your email address – it does happen.
- Your account may not have been set up by your administrator. Please let them know that you have not received an email and ask them to check that you have been set up on the system correctly.
Once you have accessed your account, you will be able to see your meeting data in real time. For guidance on this, please see the meeting help pages.
Get ready to provide meeting feedback
Feedback is key to improving any process. The Inspirometer App makes feedback on meetings easy, quick, anonymous and fun. The benefit is fewer, shorter, better meetings; greater enthusiasm and faster progress.
To load the App on your own mobile device, simply click on the logo below to go to the relevant store, and then select to install it.
The App provides easy access to give and receive feedback for all participants in a meeting.

Once you have installed your App, it will ask you to register your email address and Inspirometer will automatically synchronise your App to any meetings which have been set-up for feedback. Once installed, feedback is as simple as opening the app and clicking on the faces.
Meeting feedback can be obtained in a number of ways both for the host of the meeting, and for those participating in the meeting. Meeting feedback is enabled simply by including meetings@inspirometer.com in the invitation list for the meeting.
For new meetings, this can be done by ensuring you include meetings@inspirometer.com when you add the other invitees (the
Outlook Add-in will do this for you automatically).
For existing meetings, simply right-click them and forward them directly to meetings@inspirometer.com – please only do this for your own meetings, or with the permission of the meeting organiser. (Please note, this only works for Outlook 2010+ accounts connected to an Exchange Server.)
Once this is done, the other participants invited to your meeting will receive the opportunity to provide single click feedback on the meeting. If they have installed the app, and registered their email address, this will be through the App, but if they have not it will be done by email.
Please try it out by picking on one or two ‘friends’ and sending them a test meeting, lasting 10 minutes, and scheduled for a few minutes hence. Remember to include meetings@inspirometer.com (if you have the add-in this may happen automatically).
To access your account and see the data, follow this link: https://my.inspirometer.com/preview/dashboard and use your email address and your password* to log into your account.
