Facial-Signal Review for Recorded Workplace Meetings
A consented facial-movement review layer on the meetings you already record, reporting observable Action-Unit signals time-coded to source video. It cannot detect burnout or measure engagement, and must not be used for hiring, firing, or other employment decisions.
The behavioral signal in recorded meetings is never reviewed consistently
Every leadership 1:1, all-hands, and recorded call already contains observable facial-movement information, but no one reviews it in a consistent, time-coded way. Engagement surveys depend on self-report and lag by weeks.
Mental Edge adds a consistent facial-movement review layer on top of the meetings you already record. It cannot detect or diagnose burnout and cannot measure an employee's engagement, wellbeing, or state of mind — it reports what the face did on camera so a human can decide whether a conversation is worth having.
A consented facial-movement review layer on the meetings you already record
Mental Edge integrates with existing video-meeting recordings (or a live stream) and produces per-meeting and per-person facial-movement summaries: overall expressivity and AU-level activation, each linked to the timestamps where it occurred in the source video.
People teams see these measurements rolled up at the team or cohort level by default — never per individual without informed, revocable consent. The reports describe observable facial movement, not inner states; they cannot detect burnout, and they must not be used for hiring, firing, discipline, promotion, or any other employment decision.
Capabilities
- Team-level by default, individual-level by consent — Default reporting rolls up at the team or cohort level. Individual-level review requires explicit, revocable employee consent — a control HR can enforce in the admin console.
- Works with existing meeting tools — No new hardware. No mandatory app. Mental Edge ingests video from your existing recording pipeline (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet exports) or streams.
- Bias-aware AU-level scoring — Built on observable Action Units rather than discrete-emotion labels. Outputs describe facial movement measured against each cohort's own recorded baseline, not a verdict about how anyone feels.
- Privacy-first deployment — Stateless processing by default. Edge deployment available. Raw video is not retained unless explicitly opted in. Full audit logs of every analysis run.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this decide who to hire, fire, promote, or discipline?
No. Mental Edge must not be used for any hiring, firing, promotion, discipline, or other employment decision. It reports observable facial-movement signals from recorded meetings; it does not measure performance, engagement, suitability, or wellbeing, and it cannot support high-stakes decisions about people.
Is this legal to deploy on employee video?
Deployment legality depends on jurisdiction, employee notice, and the lawful basis you rely on. Mental Edge ships with consent workflows, audit logs, and a default team-level rollup. Customers are responsible for obtaining the consent required in their region (GDPR, CCPA, BIPA, state-level laws).
Will employees be told they are being analyzed?
Yes — the platform is designed for transparent disclosure. Mental Edge does not support covert surveillance and provides employee-facing notices that customers can deploy in their onboarding.
How is this different from engagement-survey tools?
Engagement surveys ask people how they feel. Mental Edge reports observable facial movement on the recorded video. It does not measure engagement or feelings, and it cannot detect burnout — the two things are not substitutes and neither is a verdict about a person.
Can it tell me a single employee is burned out or at risk?
No. Mental Edge cannot detect or diagnose burnout and cannot infer an individual's state of mind. With explicit, revocable opt-in consent it can report that individual's facial-movement measurements for a human to review; without consent it reports at the team or cohort level only.
Does it work over Zoom / Teams / Meet?
Yes. Mental Edge processes video frames from any standard meeting platform. You can integrate via post-meeting recording exports or a streaming connector.
