To make it easier for teams to move from planning to action, we’re introducing meeting recaps in Google Chat. Meeting recaps provide a convenient summary directly in Google Chat, including:
- Meeting summary: A high-level overview highlighting key discussion topics and takeaways.
- Direct artifact links: One-click access to the full Gemini meeting notes document, the meeting recording, and the transcript.
- Key decisions: Core conclusions and agreements reached during the call.
- Action items: Assigned next steps with designated owners so team members can immediately take action.
| | | Automatically review key decisions, action items, and artifact links directly in Google Chat after your meeting ends. |
Meeting recaps will appear automatically for any conversation with ‘Take notes for me’ enabled in Google Meet, in the Chat space associated with that meeting, bringing essential post-call takeaways directly into the flow of your team's ongoing conversations. Participants can review agreed-upon next steps, and colleagues who missed the meeting or joined late can catch up on what happened without reading lengthy transcripts or hunting for files.
Additional details
- Requirements: Meeting recaps are generated when “Take notes for me” is active during a Google Meet call and an associated meeting chat conversation exists.
- Notes sharing settings: If the meeting host sets “Send notes to” in Google Meet to “Hosts and co-hosts only,” a recap card will not be posted to the group chat.
- Silent notifications: To reduce distraction, recap cards are delivered silently, without bolding the conversation or adding an ‘unread’ badge in the conversation roster.
- Recap card management: Any participant in the meeting conversation can delete the recap card by clicking More options (three dots) > Delete. Deleting the recap card removes the summary from the chat thread, but the original notes document remains safely stored in Google Drive.
