Platform Updates

See how Sunshine Meetings is growing with our new Stats page. Track the number of public meetings, government bodies, transcribed videos, processed documents, and more — all in one place. This page provides transparency into the platform itself, showing the breadth of civic data being made accessible to the public.

Help improve Sunshine Meetings! Our new usability testing program lets you accept tasks, complete them at your own pace, and share feedback on your experience. Track your contributions on the leaderboard and earn points as you help make the platform better for everyone.

Stay in the loop! The new Updates page shares the latest platform improvements, new data, and bug fixes as they happen.

Events without a video recording now show 'Awaiting Meeting Recording' instead of the misleading 'Processing Meeting Recording' message. Events with no documents or video sources are now labeled as 'Listing' to distinguish them from events actively being processed.

Events are now automatically tagged with topic categories like Budget, Zoning, Historic Preservation, and Disaster Recovery. Tags are generated by Sunshine AI from meeting summaries and displayed as filterable badges on event cards. Use the new Topic filter on the events page to find meetings by subject area.

You can now save search queries from the search results page and manage them from your Dashboard. Saved searches remember your sort preference and exact-match setting.
