Lock down a meeting

Make a sensitive meeting private, so only its host and the admins who attended can see it.

Last updated Nov 10, 2026

Open in app
The Lock down meeting? confirmation explaining who stays in the privacy circle, with Cancel and Lock down.

Lock a meeting to keep it to its privacy circle, for example a performance conversation or a board prep.

Who can do this: the privacy circle: the meeting's host, plus org admins and the org owner who attended it. The host is the organizer, or the cadence owner if the organizer isn't a Brev user.

To lock a meeting:

  1. Open the meeting.
  2. Open the three-dot actions menu at the top and choose Lock down meeting.
  3. In 'Lock down meeting?', click Lock down.
Success check
The same menu entry now reads Unlock meeting.

What locking changes #

  • No one outside the circle can see the meeting: not attendees, viewers, or admins who weren't in it.
  • Slack and email recaps go to the host only.
  • Goal and view insights that referenced the meeting are marked stale until they're regenerated.
  • An org admin who didn't attend may see the menu entry, but Brev refuses the lock.
  • A host with the Observer role can't lock the meeting.

Unlock a meeting #

  1. Open the three-dot actions menu at the top of the meeting and choose Unlock meeting.
  2. In 'Unlock meeting?', click Unlock.
Success check
The menu entry reads Lock down meeting again. Everyone who normally has access sees the meeting.

Insights that went stale while it was locked stay stale until they're regenerated.

PreviousSet a cadence's meeting typeMark a cadence as a 1:1, stand up, QBR or other meeting type, so Brev structures its recap and goal matching.
