# Set up an AI assistance for meeting summarization - Beta

As an 8x8 admin, you can activate the summarization feature in the **8x8 Meet** app for participants. The meeting summarization feature ensures that all participants receive an email summary of the meeting. Additionally, those who join the meeting late will receive a private chat message summarizing the discussions that occurred before their arrival.

**To enable AI summarization capabilities in** <**8x8 Meet:**

1. In the Admin Console Navigation menu, click **Meetings**.
2. On the **Meetings** page, under **AI Settings Beta**, enable the summarization capabilities as needed:
  - Toggle On the **Enable meeting summaries for late joiners** option to allow participants who joined the meeting later to receive a private chat message summarizing the discussion that has occurred up to their arrival. Otherwise, toggle it Off.
  - Toggle On the **Receive meeting summaries via email** option to allow meeting participants to receive an email with the meeting summary. Otherwise, toggle it Off.
3. Click **Save**.

> [!NOTE]
> Note:
> 
> The **Enable meeting summaries for late joiners** and the **Receive meeting summaries via email** toggles are On by default.
