Fathom, where it falls short
Fathom is a solid meeting recorder for Zoom power users. But its scope stops there.
Fathomfrom $20/month (Premium)
Fathom excels at capturing Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams meetings with decent accuracy. But it adds a visible bot to every call, only handles 28 languages, and has zero support for social video, podcasts or audio uploads. If your work extends beyond scheduled meetings, Fathom is the wrong tool.
