When your 1:1 is recorded on a connected platform, Windmill automatically attaches the transcript — and in some cases the notes — to the 1:1 in Windmill. You can review what was said, ask Windy for a summary, and reference the conversation when preparing for the next meeting.
Supported sources
Windmill pulls recordings from the platforms you connect. See Meetings and Recordings for the full setup details for each.
- Zoom — Cloud recordings synced directly from your connected account
- Google Meet — Native recording or Gemini Notes (with transcript enabled)
- Roam — Recordings and transcripts
- Granola — Notes and transcripts from recordings you have access to in Granola
Only transcripts (and, for Granola, notes) are stored in Windmill. The audio and video files stay on the original platform.
Timing
Recordings sync hourly from every platform. A meeting that ends at 10:00 AM may not show up on the 1:1 in Windmill until around 11:00 AM.
If a recording doesn’t appear after an hour, check that transcripts were enabled on the meeting itself. On Google Meet in particular, “Also start a transcript” (or “Also start transcription”) must be turned on for Windmill to receive anything.
Who can see a recording
Windmill respects the access controls of the source platform.
- Verified participants of the meeting can view the transcript on the 1:1.
- Managers with subtree visibility can view transcripts of 1:1s within their reporting chain when they have access to the meeting on the source platform.
- For Granola, Windmill limits visibility to identities it can confirm have access in Granola.
Using recordings in the 1:1 flow
Once a recording is attached, you can:
- Review the transcript directly on the 1:1 page.
- Ask Windy for a summary or for specific action items from the conversation.
- Catch up before the next meeting — past recordings feed the Catch Me Up panel and Suggested Topics.
- Search across past 1:1s by asking Windy in Slack (for example, “What did I talk about with Jordan last time?”).
