Recording Internal, External, and Impromptu Meetings

• External meetings are those with at least one participant from outside of your organization. Fathom uses your email domain to determine your organization.

• Internal meetings are those with no participants from outside your organization, as determined by the email domains of meeting participants.

• Impromptu meetings are those that are not scheduled on your calendar.

  • If you're on the new version (botless recording), Fathom can join impromptu Zoom meetings without a connected Zoom account.

  • If you're not yet on the new version, you must be connected to Zoom for Fathom to join Impromptu meetings. You can connect to Zoom via the Settings page.

• Slack Huddles are now supported under impromptu meetings. In the new version, Slack Huddle auto-capture has its own dedicated setting, separate from the Zoom impromptu meeting toggle — so you can configure each independently on the Settings page.

On the Settings page, you can choose to toggle auto-recording for each of the above meeting types on or off.

Changing these settings while on a call will not impact your current meeting, but it will apply to all meetings moving forward.
