Grain News Feed
New Homepage
We consolidated your meeting library and calendar into a single, unified experience! A few highlights:
- Your upcoming meetings and past recordings now live in one place. No more tab switching!
- Auto-capture settings are visible and editable before meetings start
- Persistent library filters so you find what you need faster
- No more duplicate auto-captures. Grain now respects one capture type (bot or desktop) for your auto-captures.
- Meeting "owner" has been replaced with "recorders". Everyone who records gets full edit access, and meetings share to all recorders' teams.
Improved Zapier Integration
The Grain Zapier integration has been rebuilt from the ground up:
- Admins can now connect Grain at the workspace level so your whole team's meetings flow into your Zaps automatically
- New trigger controls let you filter more granularly
- Pull more of your meeting data directly into your workflows
See the Zapier support article to get started.
Note for existing users: your current Zaps will keep working for the time being, but you should set up the new experience to get access to the latest features!

Google Meet Waiting Room Bypass
For users who have run into the issue of the Grain bot getting stuck in Google Meet waiting rooms, we've built a setting that let's you bypass the waiting room.

When this setting is enabled in "My Meetings", the Grain bot will appear as a calendar invitee and be granted automatic entry to Google Meet rooms for meetings where you are the event organizer. No more missed recordings!

We've upgraded our video infrastructure. Here's what this means for you:

- Instant clip processing: No more waiting for processing to complete; clips are ready immediately after video creation!
Note: These updates are not yet available for uploaded content.
This is part of our ongoing work to make Grain faster and more flexible with leveraging meeting data.
