Can I use Fathom to record in-person meetings?

It depends on which Fathom experience you're on!

New bot-free experience: In-person meeting capture is coming soon as part of Fathom for iOS! The iOS app will let you record in-person meetings directly from your phone, so you won't need a Zoom or Meet link. Stay tuned for updates! For the latest on new features, check out our product announcements page.

Previous experience (bot-based): Fathom is currently designed to work with online meetings on Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams using a standard meeting link. In-person meetings aren't supported in the previous experience.

1. From your Mac or Windows computer, start a meeting on Zoom (or your preferred supported platform).

2. Invite Fathom to the meeting.

3. In the Fathom Panel, click "Skip & Start Recording Now" to begin the recording.
   

   

   
   

4. Make sure your laptop is positioned so that it can clearly capture the audio in the room.

⚠️ Please note:

• Fathom cannot distinguish between multiple speakers in the same physical room. All audio will be attributed to the Fathom user's name in the transcript and summary.

• This workaround is not ideal for large in-person meetings or conferences.
