Product Waffle Menu

Located in the top-right corner of the universal header, the product waffle menu replaces the previous left navigation panel and provides a unified cross-product navigation. It opens each product in a new tab on the web allowing users to configure a product’s settings on its own page. To customize how the products appear, click the product waffle menu, then drag and drop items to reorder them.

Profile Menu

Located in the top-right corner next to the product waffle menu, the new Profile menu has more options and provides a clear split between personal and admin controls through My account. Users can click My account to access their personal profile settings.

    : Settings can be turned on or off and locked by account owners and admins.
  • Recordings and Transcripts: Access your cloud recordings, recordings shared with you, computer recordings, and transcripts.
  • Summaries: Access your AI Companion meeting summaries and summaries shared with you.
