Granola Launches Snapshots for Automatic Meeting Capture.

Snapshots automatically captures information during meetings, so Granola users do not need to stop listening and take manual screenshots. The feature is designed to keep the relevant material inside the meeting workflow while the conversation continues.

Granola began with the idea of adding a screenshot function. That created a conflict with its aim of helping people stay present in meetings: pressing a button still requires someone to notice the moment, leave their notes and capture it.

The approach described in the LinkedIn announcement removes that action. Snapshots brings the information into Granola automatically instead.

A manual screenshot depends on someone recognising an important screen at the right time. It also creates a separate image that may need to be matched with the relevant discussion later.

Snapshots moves the capture into Granola’s meeting process. Users can continue paying attention while the product handles the information that would otherwise require a screenshot.

The update follows other changes that have moved meeting context beyond an individual set of notes. Granola Team Folders Turn Meeting Notes Into Shared Libraries, while Granola MCP Connectors Carry Meeting Context Into AI Apps. Snapshots addresses an earlier point in that flow: capturing material while the meeting is happening.

Granola engineer Mehedi developed Snapshots after the screenshot-button idea repeatedly appeared in Friday demos. Work on speaker labels later helped the team turn the recurring prototype into a shipped feature.

The result keeps Granola’s original notepad model intact. People can take their own notes during a meeting, while Snapshots handles visual information without asking them to click away at the relevant moment.

The announcement presents Snapshots as a shipped feature. Mehedi’s accompanying engineering post, dated 6 October 2026, covers the development journey behind it.
