FAQs
- Who can start or stop note-taking?
The meeting organizer and participants internal to the host’s organization can start or stop notes. When host controls are enabled, only the meeting organizer, hosts, and co-hosts can do so. - Who receives the email with the notes link?
It depends on the sharing settings set by the meeting organizer. The email contains a link to the generated meeting notes, document, a meeting summary, and suggested next steps. - Who has access permission to the notes doc?
Access permission is determined by the sharing settings selected by the host or co-host when they start to take notes. Learn how to control share settings in take notes for me.- Notes are shared only with individuals added to the calendar invite. If a group email is added, the members of the group still need to have individual access to the notes doc.
- Who can see the notes doc attached to the calendar event?
The meeting organizer, internal invitees, and external guests can see that the calendar event contains an attachment with the meeting notes document. The ability to see the document attached to the calendar invite does not mean they have access to the document. The document sharing permissions described above is what determines whether they can access the document.
