Ask HN: What tools do you use to facilitate meetings?

Hey HN! As I'm sure everyone here can relate, a lot of the pandemic time in the IT sector has been just flooded with meetings. All of them virtually over Zoom and Google Meet, of course. From my side, my week is mostly spent managing and juggling projects of different sizes, so I'm in and out of meetings pretty much all day. For context, these are everything from grooming sessions to design reviews to 1-on-1 meetings. We tend to record meetings and then come back to them later, especially if it's some sort of session between product, design and engineering. I've used tools like Otter.ai to record and transcribe these meetings, but that's just one part of it. I didn't like Otter because it didn't fit in with my other workflows and was just another tool in the pipeline that was expensive and caused friction. Apart from video recordings, I tend to grab notes using Bear, I've also tried Notion. This is all fine, but it's just a lot of work and I found that I can't be too focused on the meeting if I'm trying to grab all the notes and then there's definitely items that get missed. I wanted to see how does the HN crowd deal with this? Are there any specific tools that you use to keep on top of different action items coming out of these meetings? Disclosure: I am bouncing around some ideas on how to improve this process, but I wanted to get thoughts from a wider group. Thanks!
