RunningTab — IT & Security Brief

A live meeting-cost meter for Microsoft Teams. It posts one card showing a meeting's running cost (a customer-set blended hourly rate × minutes), updates it as people join and leave, and posts a summary when the meeting ends. That is the entire product. This page is everything a reviewer needs.

Permissions requested — resource-specific, scoped to meetings the bot is invited to

OnlineMeetingParticipant.Read.Chat	Join/leave events for that meeting's participants — the clock the meter runs on.

ChatSettings.Read.Chat	Chat-level settings needed to post and update its own card.

No tenant-wide Graph application permissions. No admin-consent-wide scopes.

What it never touches

No audio, video, recordings, or transcripts
No chat message content, files, or calendars
No salaries or HR data — organizers set one blended rate for the room
No individual tracking: per-person timing is deleted when the meeting ends; reports keep aggregate totals only
No data sale, no ads, no model training on customer data

The code and where it runs

One small Node.js service — roughly 1,500 lines of plain JavaScript with two runtime dependencies: Microsoft's official Bot Framework SDK (botbuilder) and Express. Full source is available for security review. Hosting: our managed service, or self-hosted in your own Azure subscription so meeting data never leaves your environment.

Pilot plan — about 15 admin minutes, free tier, no procurement
