Choose how to capture
ScribX captures a meeting three ways. All three end in the same place: a recording, a transcript, translation and an AI write-up in your library. What differs is who joins the call — and whether anything joins at all.
| Send a bot | Capture in browser | Quick Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What joins | A ScribX participant | Nothing — the extension records your tab | Nothing — your mic |
| You can | Close the tab and walk away | Keep the meeting tab open | Record with no call at all |
| Others see | A visible bot participant | Nothing new in the call | Nothing new in the call |
| Best for | Scheduled calls, calls you may leave, the most reliable recording | A browser call you're already in | In-person meetings, ad-hoc notes |
| Where | Meet, Zoom, Teams | Meet & Zoom web — not Teams | Anywhere |
| Credits | 1 per minute | Live captions cost nothing | 0.5 per minute |
If you need to step away, or the meeting is on Zoom or Teams desktop, send a bot. If you're already in a browser call, capture in browser. If there's no link at all — a room, a phone call, a walk-and-talk — use Quick Notes. 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 every plan.
From the web app:
- Open Start ScribX and keep Join now.
- Paste a meeting link — Google Meet, Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
- Adjust the capture options (languages, summary format, context) if you need to.
- Click Start ScribX. The Live Companion pops out so you can read along while the bot works.

With the extension you can start a capture from the in-call panel instead — invite a bot, or switch on live captions. See Capture from the extension.
Capture in browser
The extension captures the audio of the tab you're in — no bot, nothing added to the participant list. Good for a call you're already in, and the lightest way to read live captions: nothing joins, and it costs no credits.

Quick Notes
For a meeting in the room, or anything with no link, Quick Notes records your microphone — transcribed, translated and summarized like any other capture. On a phone it's the middle button in Compact mode.
A note on consent
However you capture, recording laws and team norms still apply. ScribX makes a capture visible and supports consent-aware recording — see Consent & recording.
