# Download a meeting's raw transcript

How to download the full raw transcript of a meeting from its meeting page — a non-MCP way to control exactly what meeting data you take into other tools.

Meetings

You can download the complete, verbatim transcript of a meeting straight from its meeting page. This gives you the raw record to archive, review in full, or bring into another tool yourself — you decide what leaves In Parallel and where it goes.

It’s a useful alternative to a live AI connection: where [connecting an AI tool over MCP](https://www.in-parallel.com/help/connect-your-ai-tool-mcp) streams structured data to an assistant on demand, downloading the transcript hands you the file directly, so you control exactly what you share.

## Before you start

- The meeting must already have been captured and processed by the **Recorder** — the raw transcript is available once In Parallel has finished generating the meeting’s notes.
- You’re downloading the **raw transcript** (the verbatim record), not the structured post-meeting report. For the reviewed summary, decisions, and actions, see [Review meeting Notes and Actions](https://www.in-parallel.com/help/after-the-meeting-report-review-confirm) .

## Download the transcript

1. Open the meeting from **Meetings** or from the relevant Workspace.
2. On the meeting page, open the **Transcript** tab.
3. Select **Download** . The transcript downloads to your device.

The meeting report page with the Transcript tab open, showing the transcript entries and the Download button

**No transcript yet?** If the meeting is still processing — or never had a transcript — the **Transcript** tab shows “No transcript is available for this meeting” and there’s nothing to download. Wait until the Recorder has finished generating the meeting’s notes.

**No Download button?** Admins can turn off meeting downloads for the whole organization. When downloads are disabled, the **Transcript** tab still shows the transcript, but the **Download** button is hidden. An admin can re-enable downloads in your organization’s meeting-downloads policy — see [Manage your Company settings](https://www.in-parallel.com/help/company-settings).

## Keeping control of your data

Downloading the transcript is one of two ways to control what meeting data goes elsewhere:

- **Take it yourself** — download the raw transcript (above) and choose what to do with the file.
- **Share it live, but masked** — if you connect an AI assistant over MCP, you can turn on [MCP privacy](https://www.in-parallel.com/help/mcp-privacy-mask-people) so the assistant sees the work without seeing real names or email addresses.
