Frequently asked questions
What's included in the meeting notes output?+
The tool produces structured sections: a summary of the discussion, key decisions made, and action items with context. It focuses on what was agreed and what needs to happen next — not just a raw transcript.
Does it work on Zoom or Microsoft Teams recordings uploaded to YouTube?+
Yes — as long as the recording has been uploaded to YouTube as a public or unlisted video with captions, the tool can process it the same as any other video.
Can it attribute action items to specific speakers?+
Speaker attribution depends on whether the captions distinguish speakers. Most auto-generated YouTube captions don't separate speakers, so action items are captured by topic rather than by person. If your recording has manually labeled captions, attribution will be cleaner.
How is this different from the Podcast Notes Generator?+
The Meeting Notes Generator is optimized for the structure of workplace calls — it surfaces decisions and action items as distinct, actionable sections. The [Podcast Notes Generator](https://veridive.com/tools/podcast-notes) focuses on show-notes format: topics, guest quotes, and resources mentioned.
Is the meeting notes generator free?+
Yes — completely free, with no account and no sign-up. Paste a URL and generate notes for as many recordings as you need.
Is my meeting recording private and safe?+
The tool processes the URL on demand and doesn't store your video or its content. For sensitive internal meetings, ensure the YouTube upload is unlisted (not public) before using any external tool.
What if the recording has no captions?+
The tool relies on a transcript to generate notes, so a caption track is required. YouTube auto-generates captions for most uploaded videos within a few hours of upload — check that captions are available before pasting the URL.
Can I export the notes to Notion or Confluence?+
The output is plain text with clear structure, so you can copy and paste it into Notion, Confluence, Google Docs, or any other tool. There's no one-click export integration, but the format is clean enough to paste directly.
Is there a length or duration limit on meeting recordings?+
There's no strict time limit — the tool processes the transcript text, not the video stream, so a two-hour all-hands takes about the same time as a 30-minute stand-up. Very long recordings may produce more extensive notes.
Can I generate notes for a whole series of meetings at once?+
This free tool processes one recording at a time. For teams that need to track decisions and action items across a whole backlog of calls, [veridive](https://veridive.com) builds a searchable knowledge base across every meeting you've uploaded.
