Follow through on your meeting tasks with meeting recaps in Google Chat

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.

Getting started

• Admins: This feature will be ON by default for organizations with Gemini for Google Workspace enabled. It honors existing “Take notes for me” and Gemini admin policies. Visit the Help Center to learn more about turning Gemini for Google Workspace on or off for your organization.
• End users: There is no end-user setting for this feature. Meeting recaps will automatically appear in the meeting’s chat conversation once the call ends. Visit the Help Center to learn more about getting meeting recaps with Gemini in Google Chat and using “Take notes for me” in Google Meet.

Access full notes in Google Drive or manage recap cards directly from the chat thread.
