The recent StackOverflow developer survey noted a prevalence (mislabeled as popularity) over 50% of Microsoft Teams collaboration tool among groups of devs, higher prevalence than Slack.

For devs using Teams, particular remote teams, trial Teams Premium, switch on recording and enable transcripts, then switch on the Microsoft "Meet" app for Teams. (If you are colocated, Teams has a mode where each dev can join with their own device in the same room, and it uses that to enhance speaker detection.)

After a meeting, you may be surprised, stunned even, at the usefulness of the “Meet” app experience for understanding the meeting conversation flow, participant by participant, the quality of the transcript, the quality of the OpenAI backed summary, and the utility of the follow-ups extracted.

This material also becomes searchable, and assuming you leverage Microsoft Stream and retain the meets and recordings, usable as training material as well.

While Augmend takes this idea to the next level, if you are using Teams* and aren't using Meet, you are missing out.

However, this doesn't show the timeline of speakers and more importantly timeline of topics, which is the most valuable part for review. For a double-click on that, see:
