Here’s what non-Fireflies users (guests) will experience when they open a public link to your meeting recap:

Scenario 1: Seamless, Instant Access (Business/Enterprise with feature enabled)

If you're on a Business or Enterprise plan and have enabled Seamless Guest Access:

✅ Guests can instantly view (no login/signup required):

• Full transcript

• AI-generated summary notes

• The full video recording (if one was made).
  This means no signup prompts for them to access the core content!

🔒 However, guests will need to log in or sign up to:

• Use AskFred or AI skills

• Create or view Soundbites

• Add or see comments on the transcript

Scenario 2: Limited Access without logging into Fireflies

In the following situations, guests will have limited access to meeting notes and will be prompted to sign up or log in to Fireflies to view the full meeting recap content

1. You are on a Free or Pro plan.

2. OR you are on a Business or Enterprise plan but have NOT enabled the "Public Meeting Sharing" feature.

✅ Guests can instantly view (no login/signup required):

• Full meeting transcript

• Audio playback and controls

🔒 However, guests will need to log in or sign up to:

• AI-generated summary (action items, notes, and outline)

• Video recording (only available on Business/Enterprise)

• Soundbites created from the meeting

• Transcript search for keywords or phrases

• AI filters, sentiment filters, or speaker labels

Once logged in, guests can view the recap based on the visibility setting you applied (e.g. Participants only, Anyone with the link, etc.)
