What this site is

shouldhavebeenan.email is a free, satirical entertainment site: a collection of browser toys about meetings that should have been emails. It is parody. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Microsoft, Google, Zoom, or any other company whose meeting culture it lampoons.

Use at your own risk

The site is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. Whether running a fake meeting on your screen is a good idea at your workplace is entirely between you, your employer, and your conscience. We accept no liability for disciplinary conversations, lost bonuses, or awkward moments that result from using it.

Acceptable use

Don't use the site to deceive anyone in a way that causes real harm, to misrepresent it as an actual product of any company, or to do anything unlawful. Everything here is for entertainment.

Content and availability

We may change, add, or remove features and pages at any time without notice. The leaderboard is anonymous and moderated at our discretion; names we consider offensive may be removed.

Privacy

How we handle analytics, cookies, and advertising is described in the privacy policy.
