Why Coviqo
Voice rooms like Discord, meetings like Teams – in one app.
From Luxembourg, hosted in the EU, with AI on our own servers. Coviqo brings together persistent voice rooms, radio, meetings with transcripts and communities – for teams, clubs and gaming groups.
- Operator in Luxembourg
- Servers in the EU
- AI on our own servers
- Voice, meetings and community in one app
All in one app
What you only get together with us
Some of these features exist elsewhere too. Compared with Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Discord, however, only Coviqo brings them together in one app – with AI running on our own servers.
Voice & radio
Voice rooms and meetings in one
Persistent voice rooms you simply walk into, and scheduled meetings with recording and transcript – in the same space, without switching apps.
Radio between rooms
Press a key to talk into other voice rooms without leaving your own. When the discussion lead speaks, everyone else gets quieter automatically.
Sound profiles & soundboard
Sound profiles for rooms, lobbies and radio channels, and a soundboard with your community's own sounds.
Watch together
Watch videos in sync in the voice room – everyone is at the same moment and keeps talking.
AI on our own servers
Transcripts & summaries
Speech recognition, translation and AI summaries run on our own servers in the EU. Your conversations are not sent to any external AI provider.
Ask the space
Ask questions about your meetings, chats and notes and get answers with sources – only from content you are allowed to see anyway.
Activation words in meetings
“Coviqo, task: …” – capture notes, tasks, decisions and bookmarks just by saying so. Hosts confirm them after the meeting.
Catch-up
Back after a few days? You immediately see new decisions, questions for you, due tasks and missed events – with a short AI summary if you like.
Meetings that keep working
Decisions & tasks from meetings
The conversation turns into suggestions for tasks, decisions and follow-up meetings. Decisions go into the room's decision log.
Meeting report as PDF
Participants, agenda, summary, decisions, tasks and transcript in one PDF – to file or pass on.
Phone dial-in & voicemail
Dial into meetings and voice rooms by phone. Voicemails are transcribed on our own servers.
Recording notice & muting
When a recording starts, everyone sees it right away. Microphones are muted by default – everyone decides for themselves whether to speak.
Community & gaming
Lobby & find players
Open rounds in the lobby, show free seats and bring in people from outside the community with “Find players”.
Game overlay & global hotkeys
The desktop app shows who is talking in-game and responds to push-to-talk and radio keys even when Coviqo runs in the background.
End-to-end encrypted direct messages
Direct messages can be end-to-end encrypted per conversation – and whole rooms too, if you want.
Communities with directory & forum
Public space directory, forum, onboarding for new members, custom emojis and join codes.
Phone dial-in requires a configured phone connection; the game overlay is available in the desktop app for Windows.

Made in Luxembourg
From Luxembourg. Hosted in the EU.
Coviqo is operated from Luxembourg. The GDPR and the law of Luxembourg apply to us; we store and process your content on servers in the EU.

We are open about what leaves the EU – for example for network protection (CDN) or when you sign in with an external account. The full list is on the detail page.
