How to Export Fathom Transcripts in Bulk: Step-by-Step Guide

Fathom is useful for recording meetings, creating transcripts, and generating AI summaries. But once your meeting library starts growing, moving that information into another tool can become tedious.

Fathom lets you copy the transcript from an individual recorded call. That works when you need one transcript. It becomes inefficient when you need to export dozens or hundreds of customer interviews, sales calls, research sessions, team meetings, or onboarding conversations.

TranscriptPort gives you a faster way to export Fathom transcripts in bulk. You can connect your Fathom account, filter the meetings you need, review the results, and download organised files in Markdown, TXT, CSV, or JSON.

You can connect Fathom and export 5 meetings free. No credit card is required.

Quick answer: How do you export Fathom transcripts?

There are two main ways to export a Fathom transcript:

Open an individual recording in Fathom and copy the transcript manually.
Use TranscriptPort to select and export multiple Fathom meetings in one workflow.

The manual method works for one or two calls. TranscriptPort is better suited to bulk exports, complete backups, team-call exports, structured data, and moving meeting content into other systems.

Can you download transcripts directly from Fathom?

Fathom currently provides a Copy Transcript option inside individual recorded calls. You can open a meeting, copy its transcript to your clipboard, and paste it into a document or another application.

However, Fathom does not provide a direct transcript-file download from the individual call interface. That means creating a local archive manually requires opening calls one at a time, copying the content, pasting it into files, naming those files, and organising them yourself.

For a small number of meetings, this may be enough. For a large meeting history, a bulk-export workflow saves considerable manual effort.

Method 1: Copy one Fathom transcript manually

Use this method when you need only one transcript.

Step 1: Open your recorded call

Sign in to Fathom and open the meeting whose transcript you want to copy.

Step 2: Find the transcript

Open the transcript section inside the recorded call.

Step 3: Select Copy Transcript

Click the Copy Transcript option above the transcript.

Step 4: Paste it into another application

Open a text editor, document, knowledge base, CRM, or AI tool and paste the copied transcript.

Step 5: Save and organise the file

Give the file a clear name that includes the meeting title and date.

For example:

2026-06-10-customer-onboarding.txt

This process is straightforward, but it must be repeated for every call.

Method 2: Export Fathom transcripts in bulk with TranscriptPort

TranscriptPort is designed for users who need to move more than one Fathom meeting at a time.

It can export:

Speaker-labelled transcripts
AI summaries
Action items
Highlights
Attendee information
Meeting metadata

The available output formats are:

Markdown
TXT
CSV
JSON

Here is the complete process.

Step 1: Create your TranscriptPort account

Go to TranscriptPort and sign in.

New users can export five real meetings from their own Fathom account at no cost. You do not need to enter a credit card to test the workflow.

Step 2: Connect your Fathom account

Open the Integrations section and select Connect Fathom.

You will be sent to Fathom to approve read-only access to the meeting data available to your account. After approval, you will return to TranscriptPort.

You can disconnect Fathom later from the Integrations page.

Step 3: Choose My Calls or Team Calls

Choose the source of the meetings you want to export.

My Calls

Use this option to work with meetings recorded through your own account.

Team Calls

Use this option when your Fathom workspace gives you access to team recordings.

Team exports may also allow you to narrow results by team or recorder, depending on the meetings and permissions available to your account.

Step 4: Choose what to include

Select the content you want TranscriptPort to prepare.

Available options can include:

Transcript
AI summary
Action items
Highlights
Attendees
Meeting metadata

You do not need to export every content type.

For example, a researcher may need transcripts and attendees, while a sales manager may prefer transcripts, summaries, and action items.

Step 5: Filter the Fathom meetings

Filters help you avoid downloading an entire meeting history when you only need a particular group of calls.

TranscriptPort supports filters such as:
Date range
Meeting-title keywords
Attendee email addresses
Attendee company domains
Internal or external meetings
Meeting type
Team
Recorder

Here are a few practical examples.

Export calls with one customer

Enter the customer’s company domain, such as:

acme.com
Export calls from a particular month

Choose a start and end date.

Export customer interviews

Enter a title keyword such as:

customer interview
Export calls recorded by one team member

Open Team Calls and select the recorder.

Step 6: Review the matching meetings

TranscriptPort shows the meetings matching your filters.

You can review the loaded meetings before starting the export. This is useful when you want to remove internal conversations, duplicate meetings, test calls, or unrelated sessions.

Free users can select up to the number of meeting exports remaining on their account. Lifetime users can manually export as many eligible meetings as needed, subject to fair-use and provider limits.

Step 7: Choose your file formats

You can select one or more formats for the same export.

Markdown

Markdown is a strong choice for:

Notion
Documentation
Knowledge bases
ChatGPT or Claude projects
Git-based repositories
AI workflows

Markdown keeps the content readable while preserving headings and structure.

TXT

TXT works well when you need:

Simple transcript files
Broad compatibility
Clean text for uploads
Minimal formatting
CSV

CSV is useful when you want:

A meeting-library index
Spreadsheet analysis
Attendee and meeting comparisons
Data that can be imported into another system
JSON

JSON is best suited to:

Developers
Data pipelines
Internal automations
Structured transcript processing
Custom applications

If you are unsure, Markdown is a good default for individual meeting files, while CSV works well as an overview of the entire export.

Step 8: Start the export

Start the export after reviewing your content, formats, and filters.

TranscriptPort processes the selected meetings and shows progress as it works through the export.

For larger exports, the product can:

Track completed meetings
Preserve progress
Isolate failed items
Retry failed meetings
Resume interrupted work
Prepare partial results when possible

Failed meetings do not consume the free export allowance.

Step 9: Download the organised export

Your export is organised into clear folders and filenames.

A typical export may look like this:

transcriptport-export/
├── markdown/
│ ├── 2026-06-10-customer-onboarding-fathom.md
│ ├── 2026-06-11-product-demo-fathom.md
│ └── 2026-06-12-quarterly-review-fathom.md
├── csv/
│ └── meetings.csv
└── export-index.csv

Consistent filenames make the archive easier to search, sort, upload, and reuse.

Which Fathom export format should you choose?

Use this table as a quick reference.

Format Best for Main advantage
Markdown AI tools, notes, documentation Readable and structured
TXT Simple transcript archives Works almost everywhere
CSV Meeting indexes and spreadsheets Easy to filter and analyse
JSON Developers and automations Preserves structured data

You can select multiple formats when you need both readable documents and structured data.

For example:

Markdown for reading and AI analysis
CSV for your meeting index
JSON for a custom internal workflow
Why export your Fathom meeting history?

Meeting transcripts often contain information that is difficult to reconstruct later.

A bulk export can help you:

Create a meeting backup

Keep a portable copy of important conversations rather than relying on one application as the only place where the information exists.

Analyse customer interviews

Combine research calls and identify repeated objections, requests, language, or themes.

Review sales conversations

Export discovery calls, demos, and follow-ups for coaching, qualification review, and objection analysis.

Build internal knowledge

Move important meeting outcomes into documentation, onboarding material, or team knowledge bases.

Work with AI tools

Upload selected transcripts into an AI workspace to summarise conversations, compare calls, extract patterns, or prepare follow-up material.

Always review the privacy requirements, customer agreements, and internal policies that apply before uploading meeting content into another service.

Prepare for a notetaker migration

A structured archive makes it easier to retain useful meeting data when changing tools or reorganising systems.

Best practices for organising exported transcripts

A bulk export is more useful when the files remain easy to navigate.

Include the meeting date in filenames

Dates make chronological sorting simple.

Recommended pattern:

YYYY-MM-DD-meeting-title-provider
Keep one file per meeting

Individual files work well for reading, sharing, and uploading selected calls.

Include an index

A CSV index can contain:

Meeting title
Date
Recorder
Attendees
Meeting type
Source link
Available content
Separate formats into folders

Do not mix Markdown, TXT, CSV, and JSON files in one large directory.

Export smaller filtered groups when possible

Instead of exporting an entire history every time, use date, attendee, team, or meeting-type filters to create focused archives.

Examples:

Customer interviews from Q2
Sales calls recorded by one representative
Meetings with one customer domain
Quarterly business reviews
Internal onboarding calls
What happens to your Fathom data?

TranscriptPort requests access to the meeting data available to the connected Fathom user.

Meeting content is processed to prepare the export requested by the user. TranscriptPort does not retain a permanent transcript archive.

OAuth credentials are encrypted at rest, and the Fathom connection can be removed from the Integrations page.

Before exporting or sharing meeting content, make sure you have the appropriate permission to process the recording and transcript.

Troubleshooting Fathom transcript exports
No meetings appear

Check whether:

The correct Fathom account is connected
You selected My Calls or Team Calls correctly
Your filters are too narrow
Your date range includes the meetings
You have access to the team recordings
The meetings have finished processing in Fathom

Try clearing the filters and loading the meetings again.

A team or recorder filter is empty

Team-related filters depend on the teams and members available to the connected Fathom account.

A personal account may not have team data.

Some meetings fail during export

Temporary provider limits or network problems can affect individual requests.

Retry the failed meetings rather than restarting the complete export.

Transcript or summary content is unavailable

A recording may still be processing, may have limited sharing access, or may not contain the selected content type.

Review the meeting in Fathom and confirm that you can access the transcript or summary there.

The export is taking longer than expected

Larger exports require more provider requests, particularly when multiple content types are selected.

Keep the export page open, let the current job complete, and avoid starting multiple exports for the same account at the same time.
