Group Sharing - Fastned

Join a group, review sharing rules, and search group meetings.

Written by Carolline Miranda

Groups in MeetGeek let you group members together and automatically share meeting recordings, transcripts, summaries, and highlights with each other. This guide covers how to create a group, share content (automated and manual), and review and search your group's meetings.

How Group Sharing Works

Group Sharing in MeetGeek lets you organize members into groups and control how meeting recordings, transcripts, summaries, and highlights are shared.

Each group can have its own sharing rules, so you can decide who can view meetings, who can share meetings, and which meetings should be shared with the group.

This guide explains how Group Sharing works and what to expect when you're part of one or more groups.

In this guide:

Create a group in MeetGeek

  1. Open the Group Sharing tab and click Create Group.

  2. Give your group a name and add members by entering their email addresses.

  3. Configure the group's sharing rules.

Once the group is set up, its members can access meetings according to the permissions you've configured.

Note: A person can belong to multiple groups. Each group can have its own sharing rules.


Set your group's sharing rules

Sharing rules control how meetings are shared between members of a group.

You can choose from three options:

Automated

Apply one sharing rule to the whole group:

Custom

Set sharing permissions member by member.

For each member, you can decide whether they can:

  • View other group members' meetings

  • Share their meetings with the group

  • View and share

This is useful when different people in the same group need different levels of access. For example, managers or group leads may need broader visibility than other group members.


Who can see what?

Group membership and meeting visibility are controlled separately.

Being a member of a group does not automatically mean that you can see every meeting from every other groups member.

Your access depends on the group's sharing rules.

For example:

Group setup

What members can see

Everyone can view the meetings of other members

Members can view meetings shared through the group's rules

You view meeting of other's but they can't view yours

Admins can view group meetings but don't automatically share their own

Custom

Access depends on the permissions configured for each member

Group admins

A group can have multiple admins.

Group admins can manage the group, including:

  • Adding or removing group members

  • Managing group sharing rules

  • Managing additional group rules where available

Group administration is separate from company-wide license management.


Which meetings get shared?

Sharing permissions determine who can access meetings, while meeting-sharing rules determine which meetings are shared.

This means that a group member can have permission to view meetings without automatically sharing every meeting they attend with that group.

Depending on your group's configuration, sharing can be:

Filtered meetings

Groups can use meeting filters to share only meetings that match specific criteria.

For example:

A person belongs to Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success.

Their meetings could be configured so that:

  • Marketing-related meetings are shared with Marketing

  • Sales-related meetings are shared with Sales

  • Customer Success meetings are shared with Customer Success

This means a group doesn't necessarily receive every meeting recorded by its members.

All eligible meetings

All meetings recorded by a group member are shared according to the group's sharing rules.

For example: If everyone in the Sales groups is configured to share their meetings, their eligible meetings can be made available to the Sales group according to the group's visibility permissions.


Cross-group meetings

People often work across multiple groups, so a meeting may include members from several groups.

For example:

A Sales manager, a Marketing manager, and a Customer Success manager have a meeting together.

The meeting isn't automatically shared with every group simply because members from those groups attended.

The meeting's recording and sharing behavior follows the configured recording rules (notetaker owner) and the applicable Group Sharing rules.

If a meeting is eligible to be shared with multiple groups, each group's sharing permissions determine which members can access it.

Which person records the meeting?

When multiple people could potentially record the same meeting, the automatic join/recording configuration determines which MeetGeek notetaker joins.

For example, if the organization's configuration is set so that the meeting host records the meetings, the host's notetaker is the one that records the meeting.

This helps avoid multiple recorders joining the same meeting.


Review and search group meetings

Once your group is set up, you can filter your past meetings to see meetings available through your group.

Use Global Search to find a specific moment, topic, or phrase discussed in a group meeting, even if you don't remember which meeting it was in.

You can also use group filters to review meetings at a group level and identify shared meeting insights and best practices.


Quick example

Imagine Alex belongs to three groups:

  • Operations

  • Executive

  • Marketing

The organization configures Group Sharing so that:

  • Operations receives Ops-related meetings

  • Executive receives Executive-related meetings

  • Marketing receives Marketing-related meetings

The key idea: Group Sharing doesn't mean "everyone sees everything." It lets your organization control who can see meetings and which meetings are shared with each group.
