Ways to capture meetings

Meeting assistants should fit naturally into your workflow. Whether you prefer automatic recording, bot participation, or manual uploads, meeting capture should require minimal effort.

Meeting Bot

Joins calls automatically via calendar sync. Lowest friction for Zoom, Meet, and Teams.

Fathom✓Fellow✓
Chrome Extension Recording

Captures the call right from a browser extension — no bot and no desktop app needed.

Fathom✓Fellow✓
Mobile App

Record from your phone — useful for in-person meetings or calls.

Upload Audio/Video

Drop an existing recording file to get a transcript and summary.

FathomFellow✓
In-Person Recording

Desktop App

Native app for system-level audio capture.

As Your Team Scales, Consider

Recording a meeting is only the first step. Over time, organizations often realize that the real value lies in how meeting knowledge is captured, shared, and reused—helping teams stay aligned long after the conversation ends.

AI Capabilities

What happens after the recording

Both write the summary automatically and answer questions about past calls. Fathom's Meeting Types detect the kind of call and apply its summary template from Team; Fellow automates pre-meeting reminders and post-meeting recap delivery from Team.

FathomFellow
FathomFathom

Fathom transcribes live during the call and writes the summary the moment it ends, with action items alongside. Ask Fathom answers questions about your calls from Premium. Automation runs through external connectors rather than a builder of its own.

FellowFellow

Fellow records through a bot, a botless desktop app, Zoom native capture or mobile, then writes a recap with decisions and suggested action items on every meeting. Ask Fellow answers questions across your whole meeting history, and from Team it clips moments by timestamp or topic. AI recordings run on pooled workspace credits until Business, where they become unlimited.

Integrations

The Best Integrations Do More Than Connect Apps

The number of integrations tells part of the story. The real value comes from how effectively meeting insights move between tools, workflows, and teams.

Beyond the Integration List

API Access
If your team uses custom tools or internal dashboards, the API lets you pull meeting data — transcripts, summaries, action items — exactly where you need it.
MCP Support
A newer standard that lets AI assistants like Claude or Cursor read your meeting data directly. No developer needed.
FathomFathom
Open Extensibility
Fathom exposes a Public API and an MCP server on every plan, plus ChatGPT and Claude connections, and pushes into Slack, Microsoft Teams and CRMs like HubSpot and Salesforce. Zapier and Make cover the long tail. It favors piping meeting data into your own tools over an in-app workflow builder.
FellowFellow
Directory-led reach
Meet, Teams, Zoom and Slack are on every plan; the full directory, a Public API and an MCP server open at Team. Salesforce and HubSpot write notes and action items onto records from Business, and SSO and HRIS connectors sit at Enterprise. Broader reach runs through Zapier.
MeetGeek
Automation
Uses a REST API with webhooks — data flows into your tools the moment a call ends. MCP Server connects meeting data directly to models like ChatGPT, Claude, or your own AI. Better suited for real-time automation and broader AI workflow integration.Explore MeetGeek

Decision Checklist

A quick gut-check before you commit

FathomChoose Fathom if…
✓A downstream system needs to be told the moment a call ends, rather than polling an API for it. Fathom fires webhooks on meeting events; Fellow does not publish them.
✓You want unlimited recording, transcription and storage at no cost before committing budget. Fathom's Free plan records without a cap, though its advanced AI summaries stop at 5 a month.
FellowChoose Fellow if…
✓You need to capture from an Android phone. Fellow ships iOS and Android apps; Fathom documents an iPhone app and no Android version.
✓Your meetings run across many languages. Both detect the language automatically; the difference is coverage: Fellow documents 100, Fathom 38.
✓The meeting itself needs structure: a shared agenda, an agenda template the team reuses, and a recap that names what was decided.
Compare with MeetGeek

One More Comparison Before You Decide

Pick Fathom and its trust center lists US-only storage; pick Fellow and it is hosted in Canada, with AI recordings metered below Business. Neither publishes a region choice. MeetGeek removes both limits: choose EU or US data residency on every plan, transcribe in 100+ languages, and run Meeting Skills included in every plan. Compare it at meetgeek-vs-fathom and meetgeek-vs-fellow.

FAQ

The questions procurement asks.

With Fellow, yes: audio and video uploads are on every plan, 5 per user for the life of a Free account, 10 per user a month on Team and 50 on Business. No Fathom page documents uploading existing files; it records live meetings.
