Collaboration Features

Collaboration features

Let's explore the features in your Notepad that lets you collaborate with your team after the meeting.

1. Comments

You can access the Comments section from the left side of the meeting notes.

This is where you and your team can:

View comments made during the meeting: Fireflies not only records the audio and video of the meeting but also saves all the comments made by participants.

Add new comments: Make time-stamped comments on specific parts of the transcript.

To add a time-stamped comment, scroll the meeting marker to the desired point, pause playback, and enter your comment in the textbox.

Anyone can click on the timestamped comment and quickly jump to that specific part of the transcript.

Reply to comments: Engage in discussions by replying to comments made by others.

Hover over the comment you want to reply to, click Reply and then write your comment.

React to comments: Use emojis to react to comments to express agreement, appreciation, or other sentiments.

Hover over the comment you want to react to, and click the emoji icon.

This opens a menu with various emojis you can use to react to the comment.

Create conversation threads: Develop a series of comments on a particular topic, making it easier to track discussions.

Edit comments: Modify any comments you've made to correct errors or update information.

Note: You can’t edit comments made by others.

Hover over the comment you want to edit and click the three-dot menu.

Click Edit.

Make your changes to the text and update the comment.

Control privacy for Comments

Just like with your meetings, you can control who can view your comments.

Note: This only applies to new comments made within the Fireflies meeting notes. Comments made during the meeting are always public and can be viewed by anyone.

By default, your comments privacy is set to public. Here is how to change its privacy setting:

Click on the three dots.

Click Privacy next to the comment textbox and select the desired privacy.

You get 5 options:

Public: Anyone with access to the meeting can view your comment.
Teammates: Only your teammates within the Fireflies workspace can view the comment.
Participants: Only the participants of the specific meeting can view the comment.
Teammates and Participants: Both your teammates and the meeting participants can view the comment.
Only Me: The comment is private and only visible to you.

2. Meeting marker

You can find the meeting marker at the bottom of your meeting notes with playback and marking buttons.

The purpose of the meeting marker is to help you move the audio to a specific part of the meeting.

Playback controls

Play/pause audio/video playback.

Play the meeting at 0.75x to 3x speed.

Rewind or fast-forward the meeting by 15 seconds.

Additional marking options

You can create a marker for any part of the transcript, which is visible to everyone who has access to the meeting.

You can create markers for:

Bookmarks: Bookmark important sections or key moments in the meeting for easy reference.
Action items: Mark action items or tasks directly within the meeting timeline for follow-up.
Likes and dislikes: Express feedback by liking or disliking specific parts of the meeting, providing valuable insights to the team.

All these marked icons are shown above your meeting marker.

Hover over a marker to see who made that specific marker.

You can click on these markers to navigate directly to the corresponding sections.

3. Soundbites

Soundbites allow you to create bite size clips of key meeting moments.

All the Soundbites created inside a meeting are visible to everyone who has access to the meeting.

Whenever you’re inside a meeting, you can view Soundbites by clicking the Soundbite icon on the right.

To create Soundbites, click Soundbites on the top, and choose how you want to create it.

Fireflies offers three ways to create Soundbites:

Drag and select transcript: Manually select and drag sections of the transcript to create customized soundbites.
Magic Soundbites: Fireflies automatically identifies important moments in the audio and trims them into multiple files.
Keyword Soundbites: Fireflies creates soundbites relevant to specific keywords and phrases.
