What to check in your trial

Check how a meeting is captured, which participants can see it and whether action items reflect actual commitments rather than tentative suggestions.

Test the capture method with your actual conferencing tool and device. Include several participants and a late join.
Check decisions and action items against the discussion. A suggested date or tentative idea should not become a confirmed commitment.
Review recording notices, sharing permissions, retention and the access requested by calendar or CRM integrations.
