Meeting Summaries

Preview Roles: Host, Participant Platforms: Web, Mac, Windows, Linux Reviewed: 2026-03-14

Meeting summaries turn a live call into a reviewable record with decisions, takeaways, and distribution-ready follow-up. They are designed for the moment right after the meeting, when everyone needs the same answer to 'what happened and what do we do next?'

Use summaries as the shared recap surface before sending follow-up into chat, knowledge bases, or project systems.

The recap view centralizes decisions, notes, action items, and sharing actions so the owner can review once and distribute everywhere.

Tasks, owners, and due dates can be verified before they leave the meeting system.

When to use this

  • Stakeholders need a concise recap without replaying the recording or reading the full transcript.
  • Meeting owners want to edit the recap before it is distributed more broadly.
  • You want a single review step for summary, decisions, and action items.

Before you start

  • Enable transcript capture if the summary depends on the full conversation record.
  • Set artifact permissions up front so the right people can review the recap after the call.
  • Connect Slack or Notion if distribution should happen directly from the summary view.

Settings and options

Summary review

  • Use the recap page to verify key decisions and action items before sharing widely.
  • Edit tone, section order, and missing context when the recap needs to be customer-facing or leadership-ready.
  • Route the final version into Slack, Notion, or exports after the owner signs off.

Questions that come up often

Can I edit the summary after it's generated?

Yes. Summaries are fully editable. You can revise any section, add or remove action items, fix assignees, and adjust takeaways before sharing. Your edits are saved and included in exports.

Can I regenerate the summary?

Yes. If you're not satisfied with the initial output, you can regenerate. The new summary replaces the previous one. You can also edit instead of regenerating for smaller tweaks.

How are owners assigned to action items?

AI assigns owners when someone is explicitly mentioned in connection with a task (e.g., "Sarah will send the deck"). You can change assignees manually if the AI missed or misattributed an owner.

Are due dates captured for action items?

Yes. When a due date is mentioned in the conversation (e.g., "by Friday" or "next week"), it's extracted and attached to the action item. You can add or edit due dates manually.

Who can see the summary?

By default, summaries are visible to meeting participants. You control sharing: keep private, share with attendees, or distribute more broadly. Workspace admins can configure default visibility.

How do I share summaries?

Share directly to Slack (channels or DMs), push to Notion, or export as PDF or plain text. One-click sharing from the meeting recap view. Integrations must be connected in your workspace settings.

Limitations and rollout notes

  • Summary formatting and section defaults can vary by meeting type or workspace rollout.
  • Very short meetings or meetings without transcription may produce lighter summaries.

Troubleshooting

The summary is missing an important decision

  • Open the transcript and verify the discussion was captured clearly.
  • Edit the recap manually before sharing if the meeting contained ambiguity or overlapping speakers.
  • Use the action-items review step to add structured follow-up that the initial summary missed.
