# Meeting Notes

> Lindy joins, records, and transcribes your meetings, delivers structured summaries, and saves everything to a searchable library you can query in plain language

## Enable Recording

Turn on recording from **Meetings → Settings → Meeting recording**. Supported on Google Meet and Zoom.

</Frame>

Set your notetaker display name, who receives the post-meeting summary, and your preferred summarization format.

## How It Works

1. **Lindy joins automatically**: no need to invite a bot or share a link. Lindy shows up to your meetings based on your calendar.
2. **Records and transcribes**: Lindy captures the full conversation.
3. **Summarizes and delivers**: after the meeting, Lindy generates a structured summary and sends it to your inbox with a link to the full recording and transcript.

## Which Meetings Lindy Joins

You control which meetings Lindy records:

* **All meetings**: Lindy joins everything on your calendar
* **External only**: record client and prospect calls, skip internal syncs
* **Specific meetings**: choose exactly which meetings to record

## What You Get

After every meeting, Lindy delivers:

| Section                | What You Get                                    |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **High-level summary** | Top-line outcomes and key decisions             |
| **Detailed notes**     | In-depth bullet points from the full discussion |
| **Action items**       | Who needs to do what, with clear ownership      |
| **Full transcript**    | Searchable, timestamped transcript              |
| **Recording link**     | Direct link to replay the session               |

Edit **Summarization Instructions** in your settings to control the format, tone, and level of detail on every future meeting.

## Library

Every recorded meeting is saved to your Lindy dashboard automatically.

Open any meeting to view the recording and transcript, copy or download it, delete individual entries or your full history, and search across all meetings by keyword, person, or topic.

## Chat

Your meeting library becomes a knowledge base you can query in plain language — via iMessage, SMS, or directly in the dashboard.

* "What did we decide in last week's meeting with Sarah?"
* "What were the action items from Tuesday's standup?"
* "What did \[name] say about pricing in our last call?"
* "What did I commit to sending \[name]?"

The more meetings you record, the richer the context Lindy can draw on.

1. Go to [chat.lindy.ai](https://chat.lindy.ai) → **Meetings → Settings**
2. Toggle on **Meeting recording**
3. Connect your Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook calendar
