# Read a meeting transcript

Starlings does not email the transcript. After Starlings finalizes the meeting, participants with artifact access read the transcript and notes in Starlings.

- From the subject: Work → the subject → **History**. The meeting is an interaction; open it.
- From Home: the meeting on UPCOMING once it has ended, or QUICK ACCESS.
- From an agent: the `transcript` tool, or the `meet://meeting/{room}/{meeting_id}` resource.

For the `transcript` tool, get `room` and `meeting_id` from a meeting row returned by `search`, `now` or `open`, or from a `meeting` item in `meet://changes/{cursor}?kinds=meeting`.

The record has the notes and the transcript text. On the web, **Decisions** under the notes lists what the notes proposed as settled, each with its line. **Record** writes the decision on the meeting's project or lead, with the meeting as its source. **Dismiss** removes it from the list. An unfiled meeting offers Dismiss only. Each participant consented to captions separately. Starlings filters the record by that consent.

A meeting captured on the Mac without hosting (docs/AMBIENT_CAPTURE.md) files the same way.

## Share it, copy it, download it

The meeting's page is `/meetings/<room>/<meeting id>`. Its top shows the title, the date, who attended and the subject the meeting is filed on.

| Control | Does |
| --- | --- |
| Copy link | Puts the page's address on the clipboard. The address always uses `https://meet.envisioning.com` |
| Share… | Opens the browser's share sheet with the link, where the browser has one |
| Copy transcript | Puts the whole transcript on the clipboard as plain text |
| Download .md | The transcript as Markdown: a header with the title, date, attendees, subject and link, then `**Speaker** (hh:mm:ss): text` for each line |
| Download .txt | The same header and lines as plain text, `[hh:mm:ss] Speaker: text` |

The link has no token and grants nothing. A person who opens it signs in, and then reads the meeting only if they could read it already. Everyone else sees the not-allowed notice. Starlings has no public or anonymous transcript links.

A copy or a download is the record as it stands. Lines you struck are not in it. A renamed speaker appears under the new name. Every client writes the same file.

While a meeting runs, the room owner gets the same choices from the live transcript: on the Mac, the share button beside the Live transcript heading; on iPhone, the share button in the transcript sheet. They copy the record, not the captions on screen.
