Step 5: Understand Your Transcript and Speakers

Your transcript isn’t just text—it’s structured information.

Speaker identification helps you:

  • Follow the conversation clearly
  • Attribute decisions correctly
  • Clarify responsibilities

This is especially useful in group meetings and remote calls.

Tip:
Speaker labels get more accurate over time as MeetingsAI learns your meeting patterns.

Step 6: Review Smart Summaries

You don’t need to reread the entire transcript.

MeetingsAI generates smart summaries that highlight:

  • Key discussion points
  • Decisions made
  • Important context

Think of it as the executive version of your meeting.

Step 7: Check Your Action Items

This is where MeetingsAI really shines ✨

Automatic action items show:

  • What needs to be done

No more guessing or forgotten follow-ups.

Tip:
Many users review action items immediately after meetings—it takes less than a minute.

MeetingsAI isn’t just for live meetings.

You can also transcribe YouTube videos, which is perfect for webinars, training videos, and interviews.

How it works:

  1. Paste the YouTube link into MeetingsAI
  2. Select the language
  3. Start transcription

In moments, you’ll have a searchable transcript and summary.
