Read and copy a meeting summary

Find the AI summary of a recorded meeting, copy it, and see who gets the email and Slack recap.

Last updated Nov 10, 2026

ai
Open in app
A past meeting's chapters on its Overview tab, each with a title and a short summary, marked Generated by Brev.

After the meeting agent records a meeting, Brev writes a summary and sends recaps. Read it on the meeting's Overview tab.

To read and copy the summary:

  1. Open a past meeting the agent was scheduled for. It opens on the Overview tab.
  2. Read the Summary section.
  3. To copy it, click the copy button beside the Summary heading (tooltip 'Copy summary').
Success check
Brev shows 'Summary copied to clipboard'. Paste it anywhere.

Under the summary, use the thumbs up and down buttons to tell Brev whether it was accurate.

  • Slack recaps arrive as direct messages.
  • A locked meeting's recaps go to the host only. See Lock down a meeting.
