Getting started
What is Yabbu?
Yabbu is a simple yet effective (remote) tool. With Yabbu, meeting participants process most of the agenda in writing before the meeting, creating room in the actual meeting for what's most important.
What is unique about Yabbu?
Yabbu makes participants collect and discuss all viewpoints and arguments prior to the meeting. This creates supported decisions and ensures follow-up actions are carried out.
Can we use Yabbu to replace a meeting?
Yes! Yabbu can process a whole meeting without having it. Widespread consensus shows 20-30% of our meetings are redundant. However, we recommend improving and optimizing existing meetings first.
How much time do new users need to master Yabbu?
Technically, meeting organizers need about 20 minutes, and participants just 5 minutes. However, people will keep improving their meeting behavior for months!
Do you provide trainings or workshops?
We offer inhouse and online training courses to improve your meetings and online collaboration. Please visit our training page to read more about it.
I’m convinced! What's the best way to get started?
Just sign up with your team members and email us at support@yabbu.com to schedule a short complimentary online workshop.
What if I invite people that we do not pay for?
If they do not have a paid account yet, they will start in the free version. Taking part in meetings is always free. They can also organize three meetings for free. Upgrading is possible at any time.
Features & Support
Can I export my meetings?
Yes, you can download the minutes of meetings in PDF as soon as they are closed. We are also working on a new feature that allows you to download a summary of the minutes.
What types of support do you offer?
Support requests by free accounts are answered on a best effort basis, via email. Typically within 48 hours (Monday-Friday). Premium account holders benefit from priority email support within 24 hours (Monday-Friday). On top of that, we provide call-back requests for urgent issues.
Data retention & Ownership
What is your policy regarding my personal details?
They will never be shared with or sold to a third party.
Who owns the data?
Our users and customers own and control all data they submitted to their meetings in Yabbu.
How can I request to close my account and remove my data?
Please email us at support@yabbu.com. We’ll start a careful removal process. We would be happy to understand the reason why you send us the request.
Performance & Availability
Do you offer a minimum uptime guarantee?
Over the past 3 years we have maintained a monthly uptime of over 99.9% and our goal is to continue the same standard for the future.
Do you take backups of the data?
To minimize potential service interruptions, we have a disaster recovery program in place. All servers are backed up nightly and backups are retained for a minimum of one week. In addition, all data is mirrored immediately to a standby server in a separate data centre. You can read more about this in our security page.
How do you monitor performance?
We use a combination of software as well as manual reviews to monitor uptime and performance.
Data & Security

We are working on an online payment service for which we use the best-in-class service to be able to provide maximum safety. We do not store any financial data ourselves.
