What Is a Meeting Recap?
A meeting recap is a short summary shared after a meeting that tells people what happened and what comes next.
Meeting Recap
A meeting recap is the follow-up message that goes out once a call ends, usually to attendees and to people who need the outcome but were not there. It focuses on outcomes and next steps in a form that is easy to read at a glance.
Unlike full notes, a recap is written to be sent and skimmed, more like a briefing than a record.
For example, a lead sends a short recap after a client call so the wider group knows the result.
