Meeting Capture Integration
Calendar events connect directly to the capture system:
- Linked captures — Associate a capture (recording) with a calendar event
- Automatic recording — The desktop app can auto-start recording when a calendar event begins
- Upcoming meetings — See which upcoming events have captures associated with them
- Participant sync — Calendar attendees can be synced as capture participants and linked to workspace contacts
This integration means your meeting recordings are always connected to the right calendar event, making it easy to find the capture for any meeting.
