# Recording & AI Summaries Record meetings to watch later, and get an AI summary with key points, decisions, and action items. Created: September 16, 2026 Updated: September 16, 2026 ## Record a Meeting 1. As the host or a co-host, click **Record** in the control bar. 2. Everyone sees _"{name} started recording this meeting"_ and a **Recording** badge. 3. Click **Stop recording** when done. The whole meeting is recorded server-side (speaker view), so it keeps recording even if your own connection drops. Recording also stops when the host leaves or the meeting is ended for everyone. ### Auto-Record Turn on **Auto-record meeting** when scheduling (or in the lobby's Meeting settings) to start recording as soon as the host joins. ## Finding Recordings - **meet.vinsi.ai** → meeting card ⋮ → **Recording** — every recording of that meeting. - Avatar menu → **Recordings** — every recording you made, newest first. - **CRM → Admin → Team Settings → Video Meetings** → **Recording**. - The contact's **Video Meetings** tab in the CRM. Play recordings in the page or click **Download**. Links expire after an hour — refresh the page to renew them. A new recording can take a minute to appear after you stop. ## AI Summaries 1. As the host or a co-host, click **AI summary**. Everyone sees **Transcribing for AI summary**. 2. Have your meeting as usual. 3. Click **Stop AI**, then **Stop & generate summary**. The summary is saved to the meeting and emailed to you as **Meeting summary: {title}**. If you forget to stop, it's generated automatically once the meeting ends or goes quiet for 15 minutes. AI summary is separate from recording — start both if you want the video and the summary. Let participants know before transcribing. ### Reading a Summary Open the meeting card's ⋮ → **Summary** (or **Summary** in the CRM). Summaries include **Summary**, **Key points**, **Decisions**, and **Action items**. ## FAQ | Question | Answer | | -------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Who can record? | The host and co-hosts. | | Do participants know they're being recorded? | Yes — everyone gets a notice and sees the Recording badge. | | Is chat included in the recording? | No. Chat isn't saved after the meeting. | | "Nothing has been transcribed yet" | No speech was captured — check that people's microphones are on, then keep transcribing. |
