Why People Are Leaving Fathom Video
Meeting bot announces itself in the chat
“Every time Fathom joins, it posts a message in the Zoom chat announcing it's recording. Clients always ask about it and it derails the first 5 minutes of the meeting.”

Locked into video conferencing platforms
“It only works with Zoom, Teams, and Meet. I can't use it to dictate emails or transcribe local audio files. It's too limited.”
Source: G2 Reviews
Cloud privacy concerns
“All meeting recordings are stored on Fathom's servers. As a healthcare provider, I cannot legally use tools that store patient conversations in the cloud.”

Overwhelming UI with features I don't need
“I just want text, but Fathom gives me video highlights, playlists, and a clunky dashboard I never look at.”
