Recording, Transcription, and Analytics

The Bearish OS Video Center offers advanced features to enhance the video meeting experience, including meeting recordings, transcriptions, and in-depth analytics. These features are designed to ensure meetings are fully documented, accessible, and optimized for both post-meeting review and actionable insights.

1. Meeting Recordings

Meeting recordings allow participants to revisit discussions, track progress, and share important details with those who were unable to attend.

Key Features of Meeting Recordings:

• Start, Pause, and Stop Recording:
  Meeting hosts have complete control over when a recording starts and stops. They can also pause and resume recordings as needed during the meeting.

• Automatic Recording Option:
  Users can enable automatic recording to ensure that every meeting is documented without having to manually start the recording.

• Recording Access:
  After the meeting, recordings are securely stored within the Bearish OS Video Center. All recordings can be accessed by those who were part of the meeting, depending on permissions. Users can also share the recordings with other team members or external stakeholders via secure links.

• Cloud Storage Integration:
  Recordings are saved directly to Bearish OS Cloud Storage or integrated third-party storage solutions like Google Drive or Dropbox. This ensures easy access and sharing while keeping the data secure.

Steps to Record a Meeting:

1. Start Recording:
   During the meeting, click the "Start Recording" button to begin capturing the session.

2. Pause/Resume Recording:
   If needed, click "Pause Recording" to temporarily halt the recording. You can resume it at any time during the meeting.

   After the meeting, the recording will be available in the Video Center under the "Recordings" tab. You can view, download, or share the recording as needed.

2. Meeting Transcriptions

Transcriptions provide a detailed, text-based record of the spoken content during meetings. This feature helps participants easily review and reference what was said without needing to rewatch the entire video.

Key Features of Meeting Transcriptions:

• Automatic Transcription:
  Bearish OS generates automatic transcriptions for all recorded meetings, converting speech to text in real time. Transcriptions are linked to the corresponding video, so users can navigate through both simultaneously.

• Speaker Identification:
  The transcription feature identifies different speakers, making it easy to attribute comments or action items to specific individuals. This ensures clarity when reviewing who said what during the meeting.

• Editable Transcripts:
  Meeting organizers can edit the transcription after the meeting to correct any errors or add clarifications. This ensures that the record is accurate and comprehensive.

• Searchable Transcripts:
  Users can search the transcript by keywords or phrases to quickly locate specific points of discussion. This feature makes it easy to find important details without having to sift through the entire document.

Steps for Using Transcriptions:

1. Enable Transcription:
   Transcription starts automatically when the recording feature is enabled. The text is captured in real time during the meeting.

2. Access the Transcript:
   After the meeting, the transcript is available in the Video Center alongside the recording. It is fully searchable, making it easy to locate specific segments.

3. Edit the Transcript:
   Meeting organizers or those with permission can edit the transcript to improve accuracy or add important context.

4. Linking Notes and Transcripts:
   Users can link specific transcript sections to meeting notes or agenda items, ensuring a complete context for future reference.

3. Meeting Analytics

Meeting analytics provide valuable insights into participant engagement, meeting effectiveness, and areas of improvement. These analytics help teams optimize their meetings for better collaboration and productivity.

Key Analytics Features:

• Participant Attendance:
  Track who attended the meeting, when they joined, and when they left. This data is automatically recorded, ensuring accurate attendance tracking.

• Engagement Metrics:
  Measure participant engagement during the meeting. Analytics include how often participants spoke, turned their camera on or off, and whether they used interactive features like live polling or emoji feedback.

• Speaker Time Tracking:
  Analyze how long each participant spoke during the meeting. This can provide insights into team dynamics, helping ensure balanced discussions and allowing team leaders to facilitate more equitable participation in future meetings.

• Time Tracking for Agenda Items:
  Analytics on agenda item discussions help identify how much time was spent on each topic. This ensures that meetings are time-efficient and that important points receive the necessary attention.

• Post-Meeting Summary and Insights:
  BEBA AI can generate an automated summary of the meeting, highlighting key discussion points, decisions, and action items. This summary is based on both the transcription and the meeting analytics.

How to Access and Use Meeting Analytics:

1. Review Attendance and Engagement:
   After the meeting, go to the "Analytics" section in the Video Center. Here, you can view detailed data on participant attendance and engagement.

2. Analyze Speaker Contributions:
   Use speaker time tracking to evaluate how long each participant spoke during the meeting. This data is helpful for understanding team dynamics and ensuring balanced discussions.

3. Review Agenda Time Tracking:
