Capturing meetings
ScribX captures a meeting two ways. Both produce the same result — a recording, a live transcript, translation and an AI write-up in your library. The difference is who joins the call.
The two ways to capture
With the extension, you can start a capture right from the in-call panel — invite a bot or read live captions. See Capture from the extension.
| Send a bot | Capture in browser | |
|---|---|---|
| What joins | A ScribX participant joins the call | Nothing — the extension captures your tab |
| You can | Close the tab and walk away | Keep the meeting tab open |
| Best for | Scheduled calls, calls you may leave, hands-off recording | Ad-hoc calls, in-room sessions, quick captures |
| Others see | A visible bot participant | Nothing new in the call |
| Where | Meet, Zoom, Teams | Meet, Zoom, Teams in your browser |
If you need to step away or want the most reliable recording, send a bot. If you're already in the call and just want to hit record, capture in browser. You can switch per meeting.
Send a bot
A bot joins the meeting as a participant, records and transcribes, then leaves when the call ends. You don't have to keep anything open. Bots can also auto-join from your calendar on the Early Adopter plan. Early Adopter
→ Send a bot (Meet / Zoom / Teams)
Capture in browser
The extension captures the audio of the tab you're in — no bot, nothing added to the participant list. Great for in-person meetings (put the room on speaker) and quick ad-hoc calls.
A note on consent
However you capture, recording laws and team norms still apply. ScribX supports consent-aware recording. See Consent & recording.
