Workspace settings are now easier to navigate and search

Shared by Emily • October 07, 2026

Workspace settings have been reorganized so admins can find and change what they need faster, with search built right into the menu.

Search for any setting: A new search box sits at the top of the settings menu and is ready to type in as soon as you open it. It finds individual settings, not just pages, and pressing Enter takes you straight to the first match.

Four clear groups: The settings menu is now organized into Workspace, Policies, Product, and Billing, replacing the previous single list of pages.

More focused pages: Larger pages like Security and Note Taker & AI have been split into dedicated pages, including Authentication, Developer, Fellow MCP, Audit log, Recordings, Sharing, and Content & retention, so related settings live together.

Settings that match your meeting policies: Recordings, Sharing, Content & retention, and Templates now sit together under Policies and use the same names as the policy rule editor, so the setting you see on a page is the one you pick when writing a rule.

New and refined controls: Meeting sharing is now a workspace setting, and zero-day retention can be set separately for transcripts and media. Auto-deletion changes now require a save and a confirmation to prevent accidental deletions, and settings available on other plans show an upgrade icon instead of being hidden.

Same controls, same permissions: Your existing settings and who can change them stay the same. Workspace settings remain admin-only.

Flag exactly what matters in your meetings with Advanced Trackers

Shared by Emily • October 06, 2026

You can now describe in your own words what you want flagged in meetings, and Fellow reviews the meetings you choose against it.

Plain-language criteria: Write what you want flagged in your own words, and Fellow catches nuance that keyword lists miss. Not sure where to start? Fellow can turn a rough idea into a structured tracker with a suggested name and labels, which you review before applying.

Organized results with labels: Add optional sub-categories, like Pricing, Security or Timing, and each match is sorted into one of them. Reviewers can triage, route and report on results instead of scanning a flat list.

Rules for targeted coverage: Choose which meetings each tracker runs on by title, attendees, organizer, meeting length or attendee count, so it only analyzes the conversations that you want to see.

Built for compliance review: Matches appear on the meeting recording and can be used to filter the recordings library.

Shared by Emily • September 25, 2026

Find Fellow in the ChatGPT Plugin Directory and connect your account in a couple of clicks.

Same powerful connection, easier to set up. Once connected, ask ChatGPT to search your meetings, pull an AI summary, read a transcript, check action items, or look up attendees, all without leaving your chat.

See your meetings visually. Search results can appear as interactive cards right in ChatGPT, showing the meeting title, attendees, and summary, with a link straight to the full meeting in Fellow.

Update agendas from the chat. With write access granted, you can ask ChatGPT to add a talking point to an upcoming meeting or apply a saved agenda template.

Admins stay in control. Workspace admins turn the connection on, choose which tools are available, and every connection and change is logged in the security audit log.

Fellow is Now Available in Microsoft Copilot Cowork

Shared by Emily • September 25, 2026

Fellow has joined Microsoft's Copilot Cowork partnership program, bringing your meeting content directly into Microsoft Copilot.

Ask Copilot about your meetings: Copilot now draws on what was said in Fellow alongside your email, Teams chats, and SharePoint files, so a single question can pull in everything relevant to a topic.

Search and surface action items: Find past meetings by topic, attendee, or date, and pull your open action items across any week's meetings without leaving Copilot.

Turn recaps into Office files: Convert meeting recaps into Word briefs, PowerPoint decks, or Excel sheets in a single task.

Access stays scoped: Copilot only surfaces the meetings and channels you already have access to in Fellow.

Find Fellow in Copilot Cowork or the Microsoft Marketplace and sign in once to get started.

New: Dedicated Channel Managers

Shared by Emily • September 15, 2026

Channels now have a dedicated owner, with new controls over who can post and what can be auto-published.

A new role for channel owners: Whoever creates a channel becomes its first manager. Managers can run their channel without needing full workspace admin access. Channels without a manager keep working exactly as they do today.

Control who can post and auto-publish: Managers can set a channel to allow everyone in the channel to manually add recordings, restrict it to managers only, or turn manual adding off entirely. Managers can also stop members from routing their own meeting series into them automatically.

Default channels for new members: Workspace admins now have a Channels settings page to manage the default channels every new person is automatically added to.

New: Fellow's Mobile App for Android

Shared by Emily • September 04, 2026

Fellow's mobile app is now available on Android

Fellow now lets you record meetings wherever they happen, right from your Android phone.

Record meetings without a calendar invite: Capture the hallway decision or client conversation that never made it onto your calendar. Just open the app and hit record, no scheduled event required.

Ask Fellow on the move: Ask what was decided or what to follow up on and get an answer while you're walking to your next meeting, no need to dig back through notes at your desk.

Prep before you sit down: Pull up your next meeting from your phone and review the upcoming agenda. Add talking points or get Ask Fellow to add them for you.

Catch up without watching the recording: Missed a meeting? Read through the summary and key takeaways instead of sitting through the full playback.

Keep action items from piling up: Review and check off your action items throughout the day, right from your pocket, before they stack up in your inbox.

New: Ask Fellow can now read, find, and file documents in your meeting agenda

Emily avatar
Shared by Emily • August 28, 2026

Ask Fellow can now work with files wherever they live: files you upload to the conversation, files already attached to a meeting agenda, and files you want added to an agenda, all without leaving the chat.

Upload and ask: Attach up to 5 files per message, up to 20 MB each, and ask Ask Fellow questions about them directly in the conversation.

No upload required: Ask Fellow can already see the files attached to a meeting's agenda, so you can ask about a deck from last week's board meeting without finding or re-uploading it.

Reads scans, charts, and spreadsheets: Ask Fellow can read scanned documents, diagrams, and charts by looking at the page itself, and reads spreadsheet data as structured rows instead of flattened text.

Add files to an agenda: Ask Fellow can attach a file you just uploaded, or pull one in from another meeting's note, directly to an agenda in the position you ask for.

New: AI Analytics Dashboard

Shared by Emily • August 14, 2026

Workspace admins can now see exactly how their team is using Fellow's AI features, all in one dashboard.

AI Analytics gives admins a clear picture of adoption across recordings, AI notes, Ask Fellow, and AI-generated action items, turning AI usage from a guess into something measurable and shareable. It helps confirm that your team's centralized knowledge base is actually getting built.

Full visibility, your call: Admins choose whether the dashboard stays admin-only for a private view, or opens it up to the whole workspace to drive accountability and adoption.

Built to share: Every chart can be exported as an image, or the full dataset can be downloaded and sent via email, making it easy to report on the value AI is delivering.

Customizable views, always under admin control: Filter and break down the data by date range, meeting type, or team member to focus on what matters most, while admins retain full control over who has access to the dashboard at any time.

New Updates to the Fellow Chrome Extension

Shared by Emily • August 13, 2026

You can now start and control botless recording right from the Chrome extension.

Record from Google Meet: The "Take AI Notes" button now lets you choose "Record botless" or "Record with bot," then pause, resume, and stop from the same control bar.

Auto-start on join: Turn on auto-start botless recording and Fellow begins recording the moment you join a meeting. Admins can set this as the workspace default under Auto-record rules > Default user configuration, and lock it so it can't be changed.

Auto-admit Fellow: For bot recordings, auto-admit can be turned on separately for internal and external calls. No more hunting for the Admit button.

Fellow in Gmail: The Google Calendar side panel now shows up right in Gmail, with event dots, a meeting-notes button, and a "Record and summarize" toggle.

Botless recording requires the Fellow desktop app to be running. If botless isn't available, the Google Meet button falls back to bot recording and tells you why. Availability of botless recording varies by workspace.

Ask Fellow to build your agenda

Emily avatar
Shared by Emily • August 06, 2026

You can now ask Fellow to create the agenda for a meeting. Describe what the meeting needs to cover and Fellow writes the agenda items into the note.

The same works from outside Fellow. If you have connected Fellow to Claude or another AI tool through Fellow's MCP server, you can ask there and the items are created in your Fellow note.

What you can ask for:

  • An agenda for a specific upcoming meeting
  • Talking points on a particular topic added to an agenda that already exists
  • A rewrite or reorder of items you already have
