AI Assistant in meetings

With AI Assistant meeting summaries, you can quickly catch up on what you’ve missed, understand the discussion, ask questions without disturbing the meeting, and stay on top of the conversation. You also receive a summary and transcript after the meeting, without having to record.

AI Assistant summaries

First, join your meeting.

  1. Go to the meeting controls, and click the AI Assistant* Icon.
  2. You see a pop-up notification window, asking to start a summary.
  3. A panel will appear with the following options:
    1. Summarize more—select from the last 15 minutes, or from the start of the meeting.
    2. Was my name mentioned—summary of any time someone mentioned your name in the meeting.
    3. What are the action items—summary of action items mentioned in the meeting.
  4. In addition, recordings will automatically include AI generated summaries and chapters.

 

 

AI Assistant settings (Optional)

Meeting hosts and cohosts can adjust AI Assistant meeting options, to decide who can start or stop meeting summaries, and also decide if summaries and transcripts are saved after the meeting. In the meeting, go to the AI Assistant panel, and click settings (Gear icon).
