Committee Meetings Help Guide

How to use the AI-powered meeting minutes feature

What this feature does: This tool connects your Zoom meeting recordings to AI-powered minute generation. Simply upload your Zoom transcript and the AI produces formal, structured meeting minutes — including a summary and action items — in seconds.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Hold your Zoom meeting

Conduct your committee meeting on Zoom. Make sure you record the meeting to the Zoom Cloud (not locally). This enables Zoom's automatic transcription feature.

2. Download the transcript from Zoom

After the meeting, go to zoom.us → Recordings. Find your meeting and look for the 'Audio Transcript' file. Click the download arrow to get the .vtt file.

3. Upload the transcript in the admin

Go to Committee Meetings in your admin panel. Click 'New Meeting', fill in the title, date and attendees, then upload your .vtt or .txt transcript file.

4. Generate AI Minutes

Click 'Generate AI Minutes'. The AI reads the full transcript and produces structured, formal minutes including a summary and a list of action items.

5. Review and approve

Review the AI-generated minutes, make any edits needed, then click 'Approve & Publish' to mark them as official.

6. Share with league members

Toggle the meeting to 'Public' to make it visible on the public Committee Minutes page. Members can view the summary, action items, and full minutes.

Tips & Best Practices

Zoom's audio transcript works best in clear audio conditions — avoid noisy venues.

You can also paste transcript text directly into the text box if you prefer.

The AI uses the attendees list you provide to better attribute comments in the minutes.

Action items are automatically extracted — great for follow-up at the next meeting.

You can download the generated minutes as a Markdown file to print or share externally.

Keep minutes as 'Private' until they have been formally approved by the committee.
