RUNBOOK · fireflies-ai/no-transcript-after-meeting5 FIXES

// quick answer

A missing transcript usually means the meeting is still processing (5-10 minutes), lasted under 3 minutes, the bot was blocked, or the host restricted recap sharing. The Status tab tells you which.

Most likely fix: Check processing status

How to fix it

// try these in order, the most common fix is first

  1. FIX 1Check processing status

    1. 01Bell icon > Status tab
    2. 02'In Progress': wait a few more minutes and refresh
    3. 03'Could not be processed': hover the info icon and contact support via the in-app widget
    Did this fix it?
  2. FIX 2Make sure the meeting ran at least 3 minutes

    1. 01Calls that ended early or where Fireflies was removed before 3 minutes produce no notes
    2. 02Keep the bot in the call for the whole meeting
    Did this fix it?
  3. FIX 3Ask the host to share it

    1. 01If someone else hosted, their recap privacy may be 'Only me'
