Teams meeting transcripts as an idea source

Through your Microsoft 365 account, Sayweek finds the Teams meetings in your calendar and, when a transcript exists, looks for post ideas in it. The transcript is only read in memory.

Before you start

• You need a work or school Microsoft 365 account. Reading transcripts (OnlineMeetingTranscript.Read.All) needs approval by your organisation's Microsoft 365 admin.
• Switch transcription on in your Teams meetings. Only the organiser can read a transcript, so in practice Only the ones I hosted is the useful setting.
• Owners and editors can connect and configure it, only owners can disconnect it; viewers can't change it.

Connect

1. 1Open Settings → All integrations.
2. 2Click the Microsoft Teams meetings card – its panel opens on the right (at the bottom on a phone).
3. 3Click + Connect Microsoft Teams.
4. 4Sign in with your Microsoft account and accept the requested permissions. If a Microsoft 365 account is already connected (e.g. for the Outlook calendar), the Teams permission is added to it.

What Sayweek reads

• Once a day (after 6 am home time) it looks at the meetings of the last 3 days; Sync now looks at the last 7 days. One run handles at most 8 meetings.
• The transcript is only read in memory and never stored. Before anything goes to Claude, names, companies, e-mail addresses and phone numbers are masked, speakers become “A”, “B”, and sentences about prices, contracts, health or legal matters are left out.
• Meetings marked private or confidential – or with titles such as “1:1”, “interview”, “confidential” – are not even opened.
• Each meeting gives 1–3 ideas on Ideas → From mail & calendar, with “meeting” as the source. The same meeting never gives ideas twice.

What you can set

After connecting, the connection's card decides which meetings are used. Save applies your changes.

• Which meetings: Only the ones I hosted (default) or Every meeting I was in.
• At least this many minutes: shorter meetings are skipped (15 by default).
• Skip when the title contains (comma separated): e.g. “internal, board”.
• Skip when a participant is from: e.g. the domain of a sensitive client.
• Brand: with more than one brand you can fix which brand gets the ideas – by default Any brand (Claude picks).

Disconnect

1. 1Open Settings → All integrations.
2. 2Click the Microsoft Teams meetings card – its panel opens on the right (at the bottom on a phone).
3. 3In the connection's row, click Disconnect (owners only).
4. 4Confirm the question. Ideas already created stay. This also switches the Teams feature off on the Microsoft 365 connection; mail and calendar stay.
