What are Channels?
Grouping meetings by access, not by folder.
Channels group meetings by who should have access to them — similar in spirit to channels in Slack or Discord, but for meeting recordings rather than messages. A meeting lives in a Channel, and being a member of that Channel is what determines whether you can see it.
Channels vs. a folder
A folder is just organization — Channels are access control. Putting a meeting in a Channel doesn't just categorize it, it determines who in the workspace can open it, search it, and have it show up in their Second Brain results.
Typical Channels
Workspaces commonly split by team or purpose — "sales-deals", "customer-feedback", "interview-hiring", "standup-meeting" — so that, for example, hiring interviews aren't visible to the whole company by default, only to whoever's on the hiring Channel.

Meetings can route into a Channel automatically
Recording rules and calendar patterns can auto-assign a new meeting to a Channel as it's recorded, rather than requiring someone to manually file it afterward — see Creating a Channel for how routing is configured.
