Three things to ask before you pick a notepad
Does a bot join my calls?
Ask how Marginalia captures audio, and what the other people in the meeting will see.
Who can read my notes?
Ask where notes are kept, who can open them, and how you delete them when you're done.
Will it work with my call app?
Ask about the call apps and calendars you already use, before you switch anything.
Be in the meeting, not behind your notes.
Keep your eyes on the people you're talking to. Write what matters to you and let the rest fill in afterwards.
