To get the most personalised and accurate outputs from your conversations, it's crucial to tell Contented who was in the room.
Adding Attendees allows you to do just that, providing essential context that goes beyond simple speaker labels.
Attendees vs. Speakers: What's the Difference?
This is an important distinction:
Speakers are the individuals who are actively speaking in the recording. You label them to know who said what.
Attendees are everyone who was present for the conversation, even if they didn't speak a single word.
Adding attendee information - including their names, job titles, and company - gives better insights.
How to Add Attendee Information
From your conversation view, click the Add Attendees button to open the "Attendees Information" panel. From here, you have a few easy options.
Adding Attendees Manually
This is the best option for one-off meetings or when you're first setting up your groups.
In the Add Manually tab, you'll see fields to enter each attendee's details.
Fill in the information:
Name: The attendee's full name.
Pronouns: Select their pronouns from the dropdown.
Job Title: e.g., "Client," "Senior Financial Advisor."
Company: The company they represent.
Click the + Add Attendee button to create a new row for the next person.
Continue until everyone present in the meeting is listed.
Using Saved Groups for Speed
If you have recurring meetings with the same group of people (like a client team or an internal project group), using a Saved Group is a huge timesaver.
Click the Use Saved Group tab.
Click the dropdown menu to Select or search for a saved group.
Choose the group you need (e.g., "Contented Team"). All members of that group will be automatically added to your attendee list.
Creating and Saving Attendee Groups
You can easily create new groups to make future conversations even faster to set up.
A) Saving a New Group from Your Current Attendees:
After you've manually added all the attendees for a meeting, you can save that list as a new group for future use.
Simply click the Save as Group button.
Give the group a name, and it will be available in your "Use Saved Group" list next time.
B) Creating a Group from Scratch:
Navigate to the Use Saved Group tab and click + Create Group.
The "Add Attendee Group" window will appear.
Fill in the details:
Group Name: A clear, memorable name (e.g., "Project Alpha Team").
Description (Optional): Add context about the group.
Group Members: Click Add Member to add individuals and their details one by one.
Click Save when you're finished. Your new group is now ready to be used in any conversation.
