Do meetings count as work?

Yes. Meetings count as work. Time spent in a meeting is never treated as unproductive, and it's never scored as if you'd stepped away.

What this means for you

• Tracked time is classified into its own meeting category alongside work, break and idle. It isn't lumped in with idle time just because there's less typing and clicking during a call.
• On the live team view, meeting time is shown honestly as "In meeting," not folded into anyone's idle count.
• The same honesty extends to your score breakdown: a day with real meeting time isn't penalised for looking quieter on input than a heads-down coding day would.
• This sits alongside two related facts worth knowing: breaks and idle time are never a separate deduction either, and an app nobody's classified counts as neutral, never against you.
