Understand which Meetings are Shared

When Auto-share is enabled, Vinyl automatically decides whether a meeting is shared with your team or stays private. This is based on who attended.

If Auto-share is off, all meetings are private by default, visible only to attendees unless manually shared.

How meetings are classified

Vinyl checks attendee email addresses against your team's active members:

  • External meeting — at least one attendee's email doesn't match an active team member. These are typically client meetings.

  • Internal meeting — every attendee's email matches an active team member. These are team-only conversations.

Guest users and external collaborators are not counted as team members for this check.

What gets shared?

Auto-share on

External meetings — Team

Internal meetings — Private

Auto-share off

All meetings — Private

Team meetings only become visible to non-attendees after the meeting date has passed, they won't appear in anyone's workspace early.

Common reasons a meeting isn't showing as Team when expected

  • Auto-share is off for your team

  • The meeting has no attendee emails recorded

  • All attendees are internal team members (classified as internal)

  • A client's email doesn't match what's in Vinyl (e.g., they joined with a personal email)

  • If you're unsure whether Auto-share is enabled, check Firm Settings or ask your Master Admin.
