Contented makes creating professional meeting minutes simple and efficient. Here's how to transform your conversations into effective meeting documentation.

Creating Basic Meeting Minutes

For official documentation that follows traditional meeting minute formats.

After uploading your meeting recording to Contented:

  1. Navigate to the "Insights" module

  2. Select "Detailed Insights", below "What will you create today?"

  3. Select the "Meeting Minutes" template

  4. Review and download your professionally formatted minutes

This template captures key decisions, action items, and discussion points in a structured format that's ready to share with your team.

For More Comprehensive Documentation

While the "Detailed Meeting Summary" in Essential Insights provides a good overview, you can create an even more comprehensive record:

  1. Navigate to the "Insights" module

  2. Select "Detailed Insights", below "What will you create today?"


  3. Select the "Complete Meeting Summary" template

This generates an extensive summary capturing nuances and context that might be missed in standard minutes.

Customised Meeting Minutes

For Team plan users, we can create custom minute templates that perfectly match your organisation's format and requirements.

Custom templates can include:

  • Your specific branding and formatting

  • Required sections based on your governance needs

  • Industry-specific compliance elements

  • Department-specific language and terminology

This ensures consistent documentation across your organisation while saving significant time for minute-takers.

Tips for Better Meeting Minutes

  • Include attendee information during the upload process for accurate attribution

  • Review the minutes before sharing to ensure sensitive information is appropriately handled

  • Use the 'Key Points to Cover' feature to focus on specific parts of the discussion that need detailed documentation

Creating professional meeting minutes doesn't have to be time-consuming. With Contented, you can quickly transform any conversation into well-structured documentation that keeps your team informed and aligned.
