How to View Meeting Notes Shared With You

How to open meeting notes someone shared with you.

On this page

When you are a Host of a meeting a Groupthink notetaker recorded, someone invited you to its agenda, or someone shares a recap with you, a recap email arrives at your address or the address it was shared to. If you were only on the calendar invite, the recap isn't sent to you automatically, even if you use Groupthink. Ask the organizer to send it. They can send it to everyone on the invite from the recap page. The summary, key decisions, and action items are right there in the email, so you can read the highlights without signing in.

To open the full recap page, including the transcript, click the View Full Recap link in the email and sign in.

What is in the email vs the full recap

The email carries the highlights: a short summary, the key decisions, and the action items, with who they are assigned to where an owner was clear. If the recap was only shared with you, and you were not in the meeting and are not on its agenda, you get the recap without its tasks: your email has no Tasks section, neither the action items Groupthink pulled from the conversation nor the to-dos added on the agenda. The recap page leaves them out for you too. The full transcript is not in the email.

The full recap page has two tabs:

  • Summary: the meeting summary, key decisions, action items, and any highlights captured from screens shared during the call. If the recap was only shared with you, the action items and agenda to-dos are not shown. See Action Items for how the action items block works, including commitments marked Suggested. When you are signed in and already have history with people from the meeting, a From your record block also appears here. See From Your Record.
  • Transcript: the full conversation, with Download Text and Copy to Clipboard buttons. See Exporting Meeting Transcripts.

Reading a recap vs changing it

If you were in the meeting, or you are a Host or Participant on its agenda, you can also name the speakers in the transcript and change the action items. If you are neither, you can read the recap but not change it. Ask the meeting's host to add you to the agenda if you need to make changes. See Managing Agenda Permissions.

Signing in

The full recap page requires a Groupthink account. Signing in is passwordless: open the sign-in page, click Sign in with email, enter your email, leave the Password field blank, click Continue, and click the link we email you. There is no password to remember, and an account is created for you the first time someone shares a meeting with your address. More in Sharing a Meeting With Someone Who Does Not Have an Account.

Troubleshooting

  • Link expired? Sign-in links are time limited. If yours has expired, request a fresh one at app.groupthink.com/signin.
  • Did not get the link? Check spam, and use the same address the meeting was shared to. Still nothing? Email support@groupthink.com.
  • Only seeing the highlights? The full transcript lives on the recap page behind the sign-in. The email itself carries the summary, decisions, and action items.

Do not want an account? Ignore the email, or ask us to remove your address at support@groupthink.com.
