MEETING RECAP REVIEW · Workflow idea

Capture decisions and next steps only when people know and agree.

For meetings where recording is permitted and participants have received the required notice and given consent, prepare a transcript and concise recap of discussion points, decisions, and follow-ups. Restrict access to the recording and notes, let an organizer correct mistakes, confirm the intended recipients, and review the recap before it is shared.

Keep in mind

Recordings can capture confidential comments, and summaries may misattribute statements or omit important context. Obtain and document required consent, honor anyone who declines, keep recordings only as long as approved, and have an organizer verify the recap and recipient list before sharing.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Set a clear meeting notice and consent process

Explain what is recorded, why, who can access it, and how to opt out.

Define eligible meetings and participants

Exclude meetings or attendees for whom recording is not permitted.

Require organizer review before sharing

Keep transcripts and recaps private until an organizer approves them.

Set access, retention, and deletion rules

Protect recordings and remove them when they are no longer needed.
