Business offer
YouTim is installed in your company and stays on standby. The day your main tool fails, your teams find announcements, chat, calendar, to-do list and crisis documents within minutes.

At around 6 pm UK time, Outlook, Teams, SharePoint and Copilot became unavailable for many companies, in Europe and elsewhere. The next morning, email was still disrupted. In 2023 and 2024, outages had already cut off email and chat for thousands of companies. When everything relies on one provider, everything fails at once: you need a second channel, ready in advance.
A plan B that does nothing… as long as all is well.
YouTim runs on infrastructure separate from Microsoft 365 and Azure, so it doesn't go down at the same time as your main tool.
Day to day, nobody uses it. No extra tool in your teams' working day.
Accounts created, groups set up, crisis documents uploaded: on the day, all it takes is the first announcement.
Everyone signs in with their YouTim credentials, not their Microsoft account, which may be unavailable too.
The YouTim apps for iPhone and Android connect to your instance. If the PCs are down, the smartphone takes over.
No limit on participants: from the crisis team to every employee, across all your sites.
The instance is hosted on your premises, on your own servers and as close as possible to your users. It doesn't depend on Microsoft Azure, AWS or any other cloud. It keeps working even when internet access is down: employees then connect to it through the company's internal network, by cable or over Wi-Fi.
What a company needs when its usual tools stop responding, and more if needed.
The official instruction, posted by admins, with “Read by x/y” to see who hasn't read it yet.
Each team's chat: messages, photos, voice notes. Posting can be limited to admins, for a crisis channel without chatter.
The 9 am and 2 pm status meetings, with everyone's reply and automatic reminders.
The recovery to-do list: tasks to tick off, due dates, reminders and an assigned person, even offline.
The crisis binder outside SharePoint: procedures, on-call numbers, supplier contacts, viewable without downloading.
A need specific to your business? Other services can be built to order and added to your instance.
Before, during and after the outage.
YouTim is installed in your company. You create a YouTim for the crisis team, one per team or site, and an “Entire company” one for announcements. Employees are invited and install the app. Crisis documents and a few template announcements are ready. Twice a year, a fifteen-minute drill checks that everything works.
Teams and Outlook stop responding: everyone opens YouTim, as set out in the business continuity plan. The admin posts “Outage in progress: instructions” and follows the “Read by”. The crisis team coordinates in its chat, the recovery to-do list fills up, the status meeting is in the calendar.
A “Back to normal” announcement, then the lessons-learned meeting. Exchanges stay within the company, not in personal groups, and YouTim goes back on standby until next time.
Same services and same apps, but installed on your infrastructure and reserved for your company. Your instance is separate from youtim.com.
So you don't add yet another tool to your teams' day. YouTim stays ready, with accounts, groups and documents in place, and a drill twice a year keeps the habit alive.
No, and that's deliberate: if the Microsoft login is down too, it mustn't block access to the plan B. Everyone signs in with their own YouTim credentials.
No: the business offer has no limit on participants. The whole company can be brought together, with groups per team or site.
Yes. On top of YouTim's services, other services can be built to order for your company and added to your instance if needed.
They go through Apple's and Google's services: depending on the outage, they may be delayed or not arrive. Hence a simple rule for your business continuity plan: if Teams stops responding, everyone opens YouTim.
