Fellow gives you three ways to record your meetings, so no matter your setup or platform, you can capture every conversation without missing a beat. Each method delivers the same results: a meeting recap that will include a full recording, transcript, AI-generated summary, and action items, all saved directly to your meeting note.
Which Recording Method Should I Use?

1. Note Taker Bot
The Note Taker can join as a bot to your meetings and handle everything after them. It records your meetings and automatically generates a summary, full transcript, and suggested action items once the meeting ends. Everything is saved to the associated meeting note and is accessible at any time through Fellow. You can use it every time you have a meeting in Zoom, Google Meet, or MS Teams. It's the best fit when you don't mind having the Note Taker appear as a participant in your call
2. Desktop Botless Recording
Desktop Botless Recording lets you capture meetings directly from Fellow's desktop app, without a bot appearing in the call. You'll still get a full audio recording, transcript, and AI recap.
Botless recording works on any meeting platform (Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Slack Huddles, and more) and is perfect for impromptu meetings you want to capture in one click. You'll just need to download the desktop app and manually start your botless recordings from there.
3. Zoom Native Capture
Zoom Native Capture allows Fellow to record your Zoom meetings through Zoom's own infrastructure, no bot joins as a participant. It works behind the scenes and is available at both the individual user and workspace admin levels.
Requirements
A paid Fellow workspace
A paid Zoom account
Host permissions for the meetings you want to record
The Zoom desktop app is installed
The "Share realtime meeting content with apps" setting is enabled in Zoom
Note: Zoom Native Capture is for Zoom meetings only. For other platforms, use the Fellow Note Taker bot or Desktop Botless Recording.

Regardless of which recording method you use, your results will be available in the same place. Once your meeting ends, the recording, transcript, and AI summary will appear in the meeting note within a few minutes. To view them:
