What’s the difference between Notetaker Settings and Notetaker Defaults?

In Bubbles, settings exist at two levels: personal and workspace. Workspace settings define team-wide defaults, while personal settings let you and your team customize your experience within those shared boundaries.

TL;DR

  • Notetaker Settings: apply to only the logged-in user, constrained by boundaries set via Notetaker Defaults.

  • Notetaker Defaults: workspace-wide forced or default settings that apply to all members in your workspace unless overridden.

Meeting settings (individual level)

Let's you personalize within workspace boundaries:

  • Override auto-record for your specific needs

  • Choose which of your meetings gets recorded

  • Connect your calendar

  • Adjust settings not locked by your admin

Workspace default settings (organization level)

Sets the baseline rules for everyone:

  • Managed by workspace admins (Pro plans).

  • Default recording behavior for all team members

  • Who gets meeting summaries automatically

  • Bot appearance and messaging in meetings

  • Which settings can individuals customize

How they work together

  • Workspace settings come first: Your admin sets defaults that apply to everyone. Personal settings customization: You can adjust unlocked settings to fit your needs.

  • Workspace can override: Admins can lock settings to enforce team-wide consistency

  • What users will see in their Notetaker Settings:

  • Editable settings: You can customize these in your personal settings

  • Locked settings: Only admins can change these - they apply to everyone

  • Defaults: Your personal settings start with workspace defaults, then you can modify unlocked ones
