Recordings

How meeting recordings from Zoom, Google Meet, Gong, and Granola attach to your 1:1s in Windmill so Windy can surface transcripts, summaries, and action items.

When your 1:1 is recorded on a connected platform, Windmill automatically attaches the transcript — and in some cases the notes — to the 1:1 in Windmill. You can review what was said, ask Windy for a summary, and reference the conversation when preparing for the next meeting.

Supported sources

Windmill pulls recordings from the platforms you connect. See the canonical source matrix in Meetings and Recordings for what each source contributes.

• Zoom — Cloud recordings synced directly from your connected account
• Google Meet — Native recording or Gemini Notes (with transcript enabled)
• Gong — Transcripts and AI summaries (short summary, key points, action items) from public Gong calls
• Granola — Notes and transcripts from recordings you have access to in Granola
• Roam — Meeting recordings and transcripts

Only transcripts (and, where the source provides them, notes/summaries) are stored in Windmill. Audio and video files stay on the original platform.

Does Windy join as a notetaker?

No. Windy never joins 1:1 meetings as a notetaker, and Windmill does not add Windy as a participant to calendar events.

Windmill can still use meeting context when you connect a supported recording source. If a transcript or note from Zoom, Google Meet, Gong, Granola, or Roam is available, Windmill can attach it to the 1:1 after the meeting.

Timing

Recordings sync hourly from every platform. A meeting that ends at 10:00 AM may not show up on the 1:1 in Windmill until around 11:00 AM.

If a recording doesn’t appear after an hour, check that transcripts were enabled on the meeting itself. On Google Meet in particular, “Also start a transcript” (or “Also start transcription”) must be turned on for Windmill to receive anything.

Who can see a recording

Windmill respects the access controls of the source platform.

• Verified participants of the meeting can view the transcript on the 1:1.
• Managers with subtree visibility can view transcripts of 1:1s within their reporting chain when they have access to the meeting on the source platform.
• For Granola, Windmill limits visibility to identities it can confirm have access in Granola.
• For Gong, only public calls are synced — private recordings are never imported.

Using recordings in the 1:1 flow

Once a recording is attached, you can:

• Review the transcript directly on the 1:1 page.
• Ask Windy for a summary or for specific action items from the conversation.
• Catch up before the next meeting — past recordings feed the Catch Me Up panel and Suggested Topics.
• Search across past 1:1s by asking Windy in Slack (for example, “What did I talk about with Jordan last time?”).
