Where you can use it

Access

Desktop app on macOS and Windows for standard Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams meeting links. Fathom's current help pages conflict about other no-link capture: its general device guide says it is unsupported, while a newer guide says the new experience supports Slack Huddles.

Platforms

macOS · Windows · Zoom · Google Meet · Microsoft Teams

Processing

Online service from Fathom; its security page says all Fathom data is stored in the United States.

Questions to settle

1. Does the exact capture mode and device support every meeting you need?
2. How will participants be notified and consent recorded where required?
3. Do US storage, model-improvement, and retention controls fit company policy?

Limits to check

• Free lists unlimited recordings and transcriptions, a choice of beta bot-free or bot capture, instant AI call summaries, clips, playlists, and search across calls.
• Free includes five advanced summaries each month; after that, the General/Enhanced summary template remains available. Premium includes unlimited advanced summaries.
• The new bot-free experience is rolling out in phases for Mac users with English-language meetings. Windows continues to use the previous experience.
• Fathom's general device guide says it does not support Chromebooks, Linux, mobile devices, tablets, phone calls or other calls without a meeting link, webinars, or breakout rooms. A newer meeting-types guide says the new experience supports Slack Huddles as impromptu meetings, so confirm that no-link exception.
• In the new experience, Transcript Only saves a transcript and summary but no recording; Audio Only captures audio locally on the Mac without video; Audio & Video uses a meeting bot.
• Fathom's external-recording guide says uploaded calls are not supported.
• Automatic consent emails apply only under Fathom's stated conditions and are not sent for same-day, impromptu, or unscheduled meetings. Fathom says the recording owner remains responsible for participant consent.
• Transcripts cannot be downloaded directly; they can be copied to the clipboard. Fathom's pricing page separately lists unlimited call downloads and clips.
• Fathom says its AI subprocessors are contractually barred from training on user data. Fathom uses de-identified customer data to improve its proprietary models unless the user opts out; Team organizations can opt out all users.
• Fathom says all data is stored in the United States. Automatic retention rules require the Team Edition Business plan and apply one policy to every team call.
